This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve a booking record. Contact the official custodian below.
Camden Jail and Release Records
Camden County does not operate a present-day jail. People detained on local matters are housed at Albemarle District Jail in Elizabeth City. The jail is the first contact for a current local booking, custody status, physical release, transfer, existing release record, or facility-held booking photograph. Its official site does not publish a Camden 24-hour or 72-hour release feed, and public records-desk hours were not found.

Records-desk hours were not published
When asking about an older event, provide the full name, date of birth if known, Camden arresting agency, approximate booking date, and booking or case number. Ask whether departure was a community release or transfer to another custodian.
Camden Sheriff Records
Camden County Sheriff Records Management handles records held by the Sheriff, including many arrest and incident materials. It may not hold the same release screen as the regional jail. Ask for a specific existing record and request electronic delivery when that format is available.

The cited directory identifies Records Manager Cara Coltrain at the main number’s extension 271. General dispatch is listed separately at 252-331-1500 and should not be used in place of the records route for a routine file request.
Camden Court Records
The Camden County clerk keeps filed court materials that can explain why a custody event occurred. A docket, judgment, bond change, release condition, dismissal, sentence, or credit entry may remain available after a live jail status changes. Court records do not by themselves prove the exact time someone walked out of the jail.

Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Camden magistrates handle initial appearances and conditions of release at 252-336-4019. For a filed case record, use the clerk route and identify the defendant and case number when known.
NCDAC Records and Supervision
NCDAC controls state-prison and state community-supervision information, not Albemarle District Jail files. The NCDAC public-records route explains the agency’s custody boundary. Public offender details, including status and release fields, are available through OPI. Detailed supervision files can be confidential, so District 1 should be used for appropriate public routing rather than demands for private case notes.

Camden probation listing: 252-331-4802
No NCDAC public-records office street address, direct phone, or office hours were established in the Camden research. The official web route should therefore control for a state-record request, while the District 1 card supplies the verified local supervision contact.
Choose the Correct Record Custodian
Send the request to the office that created or maintains the record. This avoids delay and keeps a state-prison search from being mistaken for a Camden jail lookup.
- Ask Albemarle District Jail about a current local booking, release, transfer, or facility booking photo.
- Ask Camden Sheriff for arrest or incident records it maintains.
- Ask the clerk for case dockets, judgments, release conditions, and filed court documents.
- Use NCDAC OPI and NCDAC records for a sentenced state prisoner or community supervision record.
- Use BOP for federal imprisonment and ICE ODLS for current immigration detention.
The home page maps the full released-person and local record-request path. For state community status, use Post-Release Supervision to distinguish probation, parole, and post-release supervision.
