Locate Tyrrell Prison Work Farm Releases

Work Farm Release Outcomes

Tyrrell Prison Work Farm is operated by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. It is a minimum-custody prison, not a Tyrrell County jail. People housed there may come from anywhere in the state, and the prison does not serve as the routine booking site for local Tyrrell arrests. The statewide offender record is therefore the central source for a prison release.

An incarceration episode may end in several ways. An actual release date can mark departure from that NCDAC prison episode. The person may then enter post-release supervision, which is conditional community supervision after prison. An older or otherwise eligible sentence may result in parole. A discharge may end the recorded sentence or supervision stage. Transfer to another NCDAC institution continues prison custody and must not be described as release.

Confirm Work Farm Releases

Open the official NCDAC criminal offender search gateway. Search by offender number when possible. A number is safer than a common name. When only a name is known, compare the detail record's age or birth information, offense, county, and history before treating it as a match.

1. Select Offender Public Information Search or Offender Locator from the NCDAC gateway.
2. Enter the offender number, or use surname and given-name fields with care.
3. Open the matching detail and inspect current status, location, offense, sentence, and incarceration history.
4. Find the latest admission and actual release entry. Do not use an older episode as the current answer.
5. Read community-supervision history for probation, parole, or post-release supervision after prison.
6. If the record shows transfer or a new admission, follow the later custody entry instead of calling the person released.

The NCDAC search includes state prisoners, probationers, parolees, and historical information back to 1972. It expressly excludes county-jail-only records. The Tyrrell County release search covers the separate Dare housing and Tyrrell court path.

Work Farm Release Records

NCDAC says basic conviction information, time served, sentence length, admission date, and release date are public, while many other prison records are confidential. Search online first. If the needed public field is missing, use the NCDAC public-records route and identify the offender number, episode, and fields sought. A narrow request is easier to route than a demand for a new narrative.

The prison contact can help route a facility question, but the statewide record controls the public release and supervision history. For community supervision, Tyrrell belongs to NCDAC Judicial District 2. Its district office is at 1308 Highland Drive, Suite 102, Washington, NC 27889, phone 252-946-5199.

Note: Staff may lawfully limit case-specific details even when an office can identify the proper records channel.

Work Farm Status Fields

Read status terms with care. An Active Inmate is within the active state prison population represented by the search. An Active Probationer/Parolee is in the community and supervised by NCDAC. Inactive means the person was once active as an inmate, probationer, or both but is not now active in those categories. Inactive alone does not supply the exact release event.

Open the history behind the label. Match each release date to its admission. Then check whether supervision began, ended, or was later revoked. A projected release date is a forecast and may change through earned time, discipline, sentence corrections, detainers, or recalculation. It cannot substitute for the actual release entry.

Post-release supervision

Conditional state supervision after a structured-sentencing prison term.

Discharge

The end of the sentence or supervision stage shown in the official history.

Detainer

A request or hold that may direct the person to another custodian.

Transfer

Movement between facilities while custody continues.

Tyrrell Prison Release History

The official facility profile says the prison opened in 1998 as North Carolina's second state prison work farm. It occupies about 200 acres near Columbia and has an official capacity of 620. Those details support a stat block, but capacity does not state the current population or annual release count.

Its minimum-custody classification and work-farm history describe the institution. They do not change the evidence required for a particular release. Use the named person's NCDAC history, not facility capacity or custody level, to establish the event.

Tyrrell Reentry After Release

NCDAC publishes a Tyrrell County reentry resource document for purpose-neutral transition support.

The document can help a released person navigate identity, transportation, health, and supervision connections. Programs change, so confirm the current provider and eligibility before relying on a directory entry. A New Direction Local Reentry Council also describes service to Tyrrell and four neighboring counties.

Reentry help is separate from release proof. The offender record establishes the state event. The supervision office confirms the correct organizational contact. A service directory helps with transition needs after the person has left prison.

Two Tyrrell Release Systems

Tyrrell contains this large state prison while sending local detainees to Dare County Detention Center. That unusual arrangement creates two unrelated custody tracks. A local arrest in Columbia does not place a person at the work farm. Likewise, a prisoner's location in Tyrrell does not make the Tyrrell Sheriff the custodian of the state release record.

Use Dare and the Tyrrell court for a local booking. Use NCDAC for a work-farm prison term, discharge, parole, or supervision history. If the state record shows a transfer, follow the next institution. If it shows release to supervision, the District 2 office is the local organizational route. This simple classification avoids the most common Tyrrell search error.

Note: Facility name and county location do not determine which agency owns a person's release record.

Preserve Work Farm Release Proof

Record the offender number, exact displayed status, admission and release dates for the correct episode, supervision dates, URL, and access date. Those details let another reader distinguish a completed event from an older release or future projection. If the history shows more than one incarceration, build the sequence from oldest to newest and state which episode answers the question.

When the court judgment and NCDAC calculation seem different, do not choose one without follow-up. The judgment supplies the legal sentence and credit ordered by the court. NCDAC applies correctional credits, forfeitures, aggregation, and supervision rules. Ask the record holder to explain its own entry. A later readmission, revoked supervision, or detainer may also account for an apparent mismatch.

The dedicated state Inmate Release Search can supplement the person record. Its county, year, month, surname, unreported-release-county, and out-of-state options describe state prison releases, not Dare departures. Use it to locate an NCDAC episode, then return to the full history. A result tied to another institution can still matter because people may transfer before their eventual release.

NC SAVAN can provide state event alerts, but an alert is not a permanent sentence history. Read the exact event type and verify it through the NCDAC record. A prison release alert may mark the start of supervision. Transfer, escape, death, and release are separate events and should not be merged merely because each changes the displayed facility.

Use precise language in the final note. “Released from the work farm to NCDAC supervision” describes prison departure plus continuing conditions. “Transferred to another NCDAC institution” describes continued prison custody. Reserve “discharged” for the status actually shown in the state history.
