Union County Inmate Records
The official county jail lookup is the Union County Sheriff P2C Inmate Inquiry. It is a local custody roster, not a full criminal court record and not a statewide prison search. It displays public booking-side data such as name, primary charge, arrest date, booking agency, and a details or image link. The Detention Division handles the local jail, while court case outcomes must be checked through the court record.
The Union County Sheriff's Office main contact block lists 3370 Presson Road, Monroe, NC 28112, phone 704.283.3789, and jail phone 704.292.2600. The detention page identifies Union County Jail at 3344 Presson Road, Monroe, NC 28112, phone (704) 283-3641, with Captain Chad Coppedge named as Detention Division Supervisor.
The Sheriff P2C inmate inquiry source is the main public jail roster for Union County inmate records.
The roster image shows why name, primary charge, arrest date, and booking agency should be read together rather than as a final court outcome.
Search Union County Inmates
Use the jail roster when the person may be in Union County custody now or was recently booked locally. Search by last name or first name if known. If the person does not appear, confirm spelling, check whether the person may have been released, and consider state custody and VINE channels. Court charges after arrest can be researched separately through court systems.
- Open the official Sheriff P2C Inmate Inquiry.
- Enter a last name, first name, or both if available.
- Review the roster list for name, primary charge, arrest date, and booking agency.
- Use the details or image link when the public page offers more information.
- Call the jail for custody questions that the roster does not answer.
Note: The roster is a booking and custody tool, while charge status and disposition belong in court records.
Union County Roster Fields
The P2C roster search has a small input set and a useful result list. The research inventory captured the public list fields, not a complete private booking file. Details pages may depend on JavaScript or image links, so the public list should be treated as the reliable baseline.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | text | optional | Filters inmate list by last name. |
| First Name | text | optional | Filters inmate list by first name. |
| Name | result column | n/a | LAST, FIRST MIDDLE with race, sex, and age shorthand. |
| Primary Charge | result column | n/a | Main booking charge shown in the roster. |
| Arrest Date | result column | n/a | Displayed in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Booking Agency | result column | n/a | Example source includes Union County Sheriff's Office. |
| Details | link/icon | n/a | Details or image link; full profile fields may require detail-page access. |
| Pagination | page links | n/a | Numbered pages and ellipsis. |
Union County Inmate Profile
A Union County inmate profile should be read as a custody record. It can help identify who is in jail, why the person was booked, and which agency booked the person. It does not prove a conviction, sentence, probation status, or prison commitment. Those details come from court records or state correction systems.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Roster name with demographic shorthand from P2C. |
| Primary Charge | Main charge listed at booking. |
| Arrest Date | Date associated with the arrest entry. |
| Booking Agency | Law enforcement agency tied to the booking. |
| Details/Image | Public link to additional roster detail when available. |
| Case Outcome | Not a roster field; use court records for disposition or sentence. |
Union County Jail Facility
Union County's local jail facility is on Presson Road in Monroe. The Sheriff's Office and detention sources distinguish the Sheriff's Office main contact address from the jail address. That distinction matters because inmate visitation, mail, medication questions, and jail custody support route to the jail or detention support channels, not the courthouse.

Union County Booking Process
The detention page describes new-inmate processing. During intake, inmates receive medical and mental health screenings, complete fingerprint submissions, file background checks, and receive housing assignments through a classification process. That sequence explains why there may be a gap between arrest, intake, classification, and public roster display.
The Courts and Jail Bureau includes Judicial Services. It provides security during local judicial proceedings, acts as a resource for judges, staff, jurors, and witnesses, transports defendants on trial, provides security for the Court Intake Center, and oversees the pre-trial release program. After arrest, magistrate and court events may affect bond or release while the roster still shows booking-side data.
Jail vs DAC Search
Union County jail records and North Carolina Department of Adult Correction records are not the same system. The county jail roster covers local custody. The N.C. DAC offender search covers state prison, probation, parole, and historical offender information back to 1972. NCDAC states that its offender search does not include county jail information.
The N.C. DAC offender search source shows the state-level channel for people no longer held in the Union County jail.
Use DAC for state correction status, and use P2C or the jail for local custody questions.
For custody and criminal-case notifications, use North Carolina VINE. VINE is a notification service, not the county jail roster. It can help victims and registered users receive changes in custody or case status where the service applies.
The North Carolina VINE source is part of the inmate access chain for notification rather than direct jail roster search.
VINE should supplement official jail and court checks when notification of custody change matters.
Union County Inmate Visitation
Union County inmate visitation is scheduled through ICSolutions. The detention support rules state that general visitation may include up to two 25-minute visits per day from Thursday through Sunday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Onsite video visitation is Saturdays and Sundays only. Offsite video visitation can be conducted remotely through the ICS mobile app or on a PC.
| Visit type | Schedule / length | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| General visitation | Up to two 25-minute visits per day; Thursday-Sunday, 1:00-5:00 p.m. | Schedule through ICSolutions. |
| Onsite video visitation | Saturdays and Sundays only. | Visitor must bring valid U.S.-issued ID; one adult age 16+ per scheduled visit; one youth age 15 or younger may accompany the adult. |
| Offsite video visitation | Available remotely. | May be held through ICS Mobile or on a PC. |
| Video visitation support | n/a | Toll free (888) 646-9437; customer@ICSolutions.com. |
| Phone account support | n/a | Prepaid customer support (888) 506-8407; customer@ICSolutions.com. |
Union County Jail Mail
Inmate mail must use the format published by the Sheriff's Office: Inmate Name / ID number, 3344 Presson Rd., Monroe, NC 28112. Incoming postal mail must include a full return name and address in the top left corner of the envelope. If required envelope information is missing, the envelope is returned to sender.
The jail's Safe Mail rules do not allow money orders, checks, cash, books, explicit photographs or materials, or food items. To contribute to an inmate trust account, use the JailATM kiosk at the jail or deposit online through JailATM. TextBehind is also available as a mobile app for family and friends to send text messages, photos, and letters to inmates housed in the Union County Detention Center.
Medication rules are specific. The jail medical department does not accept bottles containing medications. It accepts empty prescription bottles only, verifies valid prescribed medications, discards the empty bottles, and orders new prescriptions as appropriate. For cancer, HIV, Hepatitis C, bronchial inhalers, or other chronic medical treatment medication questions, call Medical Department at 704-283-3530.
Union County Registry Searches
Sex offender registry searches are separate from the Union County jail roster. The N.C. Sex Offender Registry is a public registry for community safety, and the NCSBI registry information page explains the statewide registry function. A person may appear in registry data without being in local jail custody.
The N.C. Sex Offender Registry source serves as a separate inmate-record-related public safety lookup.
Registry information should not be confused with current incarceration status in the Union County Jail.
The NCSBI registry information source adds official context for the statewide registry service.
The registry source supports public safety searches, while the jail roster supports local custody searches.
Union County Custody Requests
When a custody question is not answered by P2C, use the jail phone, Sheriff's Office contact, or the official correction channel that holds the record. The N.C. DAC public records page is relevant only for state correction records, and the research notes that DAC offender search does not include county jail information.
The N.C. DAC public records source confirms that state custody records use a different public-record route than Union County jail records.
Use the custodian that actually holds the record: Union County for county jail custody, DAC for state correction records, and court systems for charges and outcomes.
