Understanding Tyrrell County Releases
A local Tyrrell arrest and the place of confinement are not the same jurisdictional fact. The Tyrrell County Sheriff may make the arrest and hold transport records, while current evidence identifies Dare County Detention Center as the facility that books and houses Tyrrell detainees. Dare therefore may hold the physical admission, release timestamp, release code, transfer destination, and booking photograph. The legal case remains with the Tyrrell County court. This split explains why one search rarely answers the whole question.
“Released” should name the custody episode that ended. A person may walk out after bond, dismissal, time served, or completion of a local sentence. Someone removed from Dare’s population may instead be transferred to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, another county, the U.S. Marshals Service, or ICE. A state prisoner may leave prison for post-release supervision, legacy parole, or outright discharge. These outcomes are not interchangeable.
| Event | Meaning | Next record |
|---|---|---|
| Bond | Release conditions were secured while the case may remain pending | Dare release event and Tyrrell court file |
| Time served or sentence completion | The ordered custody term or credited portion ended | Judgment plus jail or NCDAC history |
| Probation | The person is in the community under court-ordered supervision | NCDAC supervision history and court order |
| Post-release supervision or parole | Prison custody ended, but state conditions continue | NCDAC offender and supervision records |
| Transfer | Custody ended at one facility and continued elsewhere | Receiving agency record |
Tyrrell County Release Record Fields
A useful Tyrrell County release record answers who left, which custody ended, when it ended, whose authority controlled the event, and where the person went next. A common name is not enough. Match a date of birth, booking number, offender number, case number, or another lawful identifier. Ask for the existing booking and release record rather than asking staff to create a broad narrative.
| Field | What it establishes |
|---|---|
| Identity and aliases | The person tied to the booking, checked with another identifier |
| Booking number and admission time | The correct Dare custody episode |
| Charge, process, bond, and court date | The legal context without proving final disposition |
| Release date and time | When that facility’s physical custody ended |
| Release reason or code | Bond, time served, court order, transfer, or another recorded basis |
| Release authority | The order or official basis used by the jail |
| Destination or receiving agency | Community release versus continued custody elsewhere |
| Detainer information | A public hold or agency claim that may affect the next step |
The booking photo is a separate item and does not prove release. North Carolina law does not list it among every mandatory public arrest fact. Request it from the custodian, but allow for a lawful denial or redaction.
Request Tyrrell County Release Records
No official Tyrrell or Dare online release archive with a promised retention period was found. The sound path is a focused request to the office that holds each part of the record. For a recent local arrest, first confirm the detention facility with the Tyrrell County Sheriff. Current evidence points to Dare, but an intercounty arrangement can change over time.
- Gather the full name, date of birth, arrest or booking date, Tyrrell case number, and booking number if known.
- Ask Dare for the existing booking and release record, including admission and release times, release code, authority, destination, public detainer fields, and booking photograph.
- Ask for electronic copies and a fee estimate before staff incur copying charges. No universal release-record price was published.
- Request Tyrrell arrest or transport material separately if Dare does not hold it.
- Obtain the disposition, judgment, or release order from the Tyrrell Clerk and compare it with the jail event.
- If the record names a receiving agency, continue with that agency rather than labeling the transfer a community release.
A concise request may ask for “release events for the identified booking, including release date and time, reason or code, authority, and destination if transferred.” If a field is withheld, ask for the legal basis and any separable public portion. NCDAC requests belong with NCDAC and should use the offender number whenever possible.
Tyrrell Release Records and Law
G.S. 132-1 broadly defines North Carolina public records, while G.S. 132-1.4 specifically governs criminal-investigation and intelligence records. The latter statute makes listed arrest facts public, including identifying facts and the time, place, nature, and circumstances of an arrest. It also allows law-enforcement material outside those listed facts to be treated differently. That is why a request should identify exact release fields instead of assuming every part of a booking jacket must be posted online.
Online display and agency retention are separate. A person can vanish from a current population view while the government still holds the archived booking and release event. Sealed, juvenile, and expunged matters require special care. An expunction is a later court process, not the release itself, and a blank eCourts result after an expunction cannot reconstruct the old custody event. When formal proof is needed, request the appropriate clerk record or certified copy while respecting lawful access limits.
Note: Record availability can differ by field, so request the public portions and the legal basis for any withheld item.
Bonding Out at Dare Detention
Dare publishes unusually specific bond directions for people held at its detention center. The Dare Sheriff FAQ says a full cash bond may be paid to the on-site magistrate, a bondsman may charge up to 15 percent, and qualifying North Carolina real property may be used with clerk guidance. The magistrate number is 252-475-9228. These are possible methods, not a statement that every Tyrrell detainee qualifies for bond.
Payment or authorization is not the same as completed release. Conditions must be satisfied and the jail must finish its own processing. Other warrants, holds, or cases can also affect the outcome. After taking a bond step, contact Dare County Detention Center and ask whether physical release is complete, the recorded release time, and whether the person was transferred. The Tyrrell court file can show the bond order and pending case, but only the jail can confirm the actual exit event.
Tyrrell Court, Dare Release Record
The Tyrrell criminal case stays in Columbia even when physical custody is handled in Manteo. Start with the North Carolina eCourts Portal, choose Tyrrell as the location, and search by party name, file number, or another offered criterion. Read all relevant counts and the latest order. A dismissal on one count does not prove that no other charge or hold supported continued custody.
The court timeline can explain dismissal, judgment, probation, commitment, custody time applied, or a changed bond. It does not always show the time someone crossed the jail exit. If the online file is incomplete or the match is unclear, use the public terminal or paper file at the Tyrrell County Courthouse. Copies are available for a fee, but no universal document price was published.
The official court page illustrates the local case-record endpoint:
The courthouse information helps route a disposition request, while the separate Dare release record supplies the precise physical custody event.
Find Tyrrell County Released Inmates
Use a custody-by-custody search instead of assuming one system covers everyone. A blank live roster says only that the person is not displayed in that population at that moment. The full verification path follows the actual arrest, case, sentence, and transfer chain.
- Confirm the arresting agency and the detention facility with Tyrrell Sheriff. Ask whether the person was ever booked at Dare.
- Request the Dare booking and release event, including the exact destination or receiving agency.
- Search the Tyrrell eCourts case and read the disposition, judgment, and later orders.
- Search NCDAC if a state prison term, probation, parole, or post-release supervision may apply.
- Use NC SAVAN or VINELink for a specific-person custody check and notification, then verify the exact event with its source.
- Use BOP, the federal court, USMS contacts, or ICE only when the record points to that custody system.
Keep the source, access date, exact status wording, record identifier, and follow-up result. “Dare reports release from its jail” is more accurate than claiming knowledge of every possible custodian.
NCDAC Tyrrell Release Search
The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction search gateway covers state prisoners and present or former probation and parole records. It expressly does not contain county-jail-only records. Search an offender number when known. With a name, use careful variants and compare identity, offense, county, and history before choosing a result.
| Search item | Use |
|---|---|
| Offender number | Best discriminator for one NCDAC record |
| Name and sounds-like surname | Find candidates when the number is unknown |
| Birth date or age range | Reduce same-name confusion |
| Status filter | Active Inmate, Active Probationer/Parolee, Inactive, or All |
| Incarceration history | Shows separate admissions and actual release events |
| Supervision history | Shows whether community supervision followed custody |
The official NCDAC offender search is shown here:
The search distinguishes the state correctional universe from Dare’s local jail record. An incarceration release date confirms exit from that NCDAC episode, while a later supervision entry may show that conditions continue.
Tyrrell Jail Release Alerts
No official Tyrrell or Dare rolling 24-hour or 72-hour released-person feed was located. No public page promised a cadence, an archive window, or a set of displayed fields. For a date window, ask Dare to search release events between exact start and end timestamps for people booked on Tyrrell process, and ask staff to identify transfers separately from community releases.
Dare’s detention page points to NC SAVAN at 1-877-627-2826 for automated custody information. VINELink can be used to find a specific matched person and register for an available alert. Read the event type and reporting agency closely. Release, transfer, escape, death, and other custody changes do not mean the same thing. SAVAN is a notification source, not a guaranteed permanent history.
The NCDAC Inmate Release Search offers county, year, month, surname, “release county not reported,” and “released to other state(s)” criteria. Its scope is state-prison releases. It is not a Tyrrell jail feed and should not be used to fill that local gap.
Tyrrell Release Status by System
Each lookup answers a limited question. Compare the record’s facility and agency before drawing a conclusion.
| Source | What it can show | What it cannot prove alone |
|---|---|---|
| Dare booking/release record | Exit from the detention facility, reason, time, and destination | Later status after a transfer |
| Tyrrell court file | Disposition, judgment, probation, or commitment | Exact jail-door release time |
| NCDAC record | State admission, prison release, and supervision history | A county-jail-only event |
| NC SAVAN/VINELink | Agency-fed status or custody-change alert | A complete historical archive |
| BOP locator | Federal prison status and past release date | USMS pretrial status or local release |
| ICE locator | Searchable current immigration custody | A reliable historical release record |
Question: Does “Inactive” in NCDAC prove a Tyrrell County release? No. It means the person is not currently active in the NCDAC categories represented. Open the incarceration and supervision history, then check other custodians.
Confirm Release Before Traveling
Tyrrell releases are physically processed in Manteo rather than Columbia under the current evidence-supported Dare detention arrangement. That cross-county geography matters for anyone planning an authorized pickup. No reliable official public-transit route, fixed jail exit, routine release time, or designated waiting place was found. Do not rely on an estimated time or travel solely because a court order was entered.
Call Dare County Detention Center at 252-475-9220. Ask whether release processing is complete, where an authorized person may wait, and whether the event became a transfer instead. Dare’s public facility-directory hours describe the office, not a promise that all releases happen within that window. The exact booking record remains the source for the completed time.
Two Tyrrell Custody Tracks
Tyrrell County has the unusual combination of sending its local detainees to another county while a large state prison operates near Columbia. Tyrrell Prison Work Farm is an NCDAC minimum-custody prison for adult men with an official capacity of 620. Its name does not make it the county jail, and its population does not consist only of Tyrrell cases.
A Dare release record tracks a local booking. A Tyrrell Prison Work Farm release is a state correctional event tracked through NCDAC. It may lead to post-release supervision, legacy parole for an eligible sentence, discharge, or transfer to another state institution. The person’s offender number and full incarceration history determine the right episode.
Tyrrell Release Transition Resources
NCDAC publishes a Tyrrell County reentry resource document. A New Direction Local Reentry Council also describes service across Tyrrell and four nearby counties. These sources can help a released person navigate identification, transportation, health, supervision contacts, and other transition needs. Directory entries and program terms can change, so check the current source before relying on a provider.
Reentry navigation is not proof of custody status. First establish whether the person reached the community or moved to another custodian. A prison release to post-release supervision places the person in the community under conditions, while a Dare transfer to NCDAC means confinement continued. That distinction controls which office and resource path applies.
Correct Tyrrell Release Records
A correction request follows the record holder. Contact Dare for its booking or release data, the Tyrrell Clerk for the court disposition, and NCDAC for the state offender or supervision history. State clearly which field is wrong, identify the record, and attach the official source that supports the change when the agency permits it. One office generally cannot alter another custodian’s database.
A replacement North Carolina identification card follows DMV office or online eligibility rules. If a replacement ID is incorrect, NCDMV customer contact is 919-715-7000. An ID issue is separate from correcting a jail release time or court result, though accurate identity details help prevent a same-name record mix-up.
- Discharge
- The official end status shown for a correctional or supervision obligation.
- Detainer
- A request or hold that may route a person to another agency.
- Post-release supervision
- Conditional community supervision after a structured-sentencing prison term.
- Expunction
- A later court process that removes qualifying state records under applicable law.
Tyrrell Release Record Custodians
Use the facility or system that matches the custody episode. Dare County Detention Center is the current evidence-supported local detention facility. Tyrrell Prison Work Farm and the statewide NCDAC system are state tracks. BOP and ICE apply only when the documented facts point to those agencies.
- Dare County Detention Center: local booking, physical release time, and transfer destination.
- Tyrrell Prison Work Farm: state-prison events recorded by NCDAC.
- NCDAC statewide prison and community-supervision system: offender, release, probation, and parole history.
- Federal Bureau of Prisons: sentenced federal-prison custody and release status.
- ICE detention network: conditional immigration-custody search after a documented transfer.
