High Point Detention Center Overview
High Point Detention Center is operated by the Guilford County Sheriff's Office. It opened in January 1990, and Guilford County describes it as North Carolina's first New Generation direct-supervision facility. The building is a 122,900-square-foot high-rise with bed space for 274 inmates. It is not a separate city jail, regional jail, or state prison; it is part of the county detention system.
Because High Point and Greensboro follow countywide policies, the same roster, visitation registration rules, mail-processing system, and inmate money rules generally apply. The local details still matter. High Point has its own address, phone, fax number, facility ID for mail scanning, visitation schedule, program list, and kiosk-hour caveat.
High Point should not be treated as a small placeholder for the Greensboro jail. The research identifies it as a separate detention center with its own direct-supervision history and local court geography. A person housed there may still have court activity in Greensboro or High Point, so the facility name on the roster is only one part of the record.
High Point Detention Center Capacity
Guilford County lists High Point Detention Center with 274 beds. The county did not publish a separate current average daily population for High Point in the reviewed official pages. Countywide, the jail system averages more than 800 people daily, and inmates may be assigned or transferred between High Point and Greensboro at any time.
Do not infer High Point's current daily population from countywide totals. Use the roster's holding facility field for an individual person and call High Point Detention when the assignment must be current.
Search High Point Detention Inmates
The correct lookup is the Guilford County P2C Inmate Inquiry. Search the county roster, open the profile, and check the holding facility field. The field may show High Point Detention or another facility label if the person has been assigned elsewhere.
- Open P2C Inmate Inquiry and search by name or clear identifying text.
- Open the record and verify whether High Point Detention Center is the holding facility.
- Review arrest date, primary charge, court date, total bond, and release fields when shown.
- Call 336-641-7900 for immediate custody, release, or location confirmation.
For state prison after sentencing, use NCDAC. For federal or immigration custody after transfer, use BOP or ICE. P2C only helps if the person is currently housed in Guilford County custody.
When a High Point search is unclear, the fallback chain is direct. Check P2C, call the High Point jail line, then use NextRequest for older or missing jail records. Use NC eCourts for filed charges and case outcomes. Use VINELink / NC SAVAN for notifications, not as a replacement for the jail's real-time confirmation.
The roster can also show release or expected release fields when those settings are enabled. Those fields should be treated as useful but not final. A release can be delayed by another hold, a new warrant, transport timing, or a court order that has not yet worked through the public display.
High Point Detention Address
Use the facility line for custody and local facility questions. The High Point detention and warrant functions sit near the High Point courthouse and magistrate area, but detention questions should start with the jail phone number.

Mail and Money at High Point
High Point non-legal mail uses the same Greensboro PO Box processing center as Greensboro, but the facility name and facility ID are different. Use Facility ID 5084 for High Point. The county states mail will not be scanned unless the envelope includes facility name, inmate name, inmate ID number, and facility ID.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Guilford County Jail - High Point; Inmate Name; Inmate ID Number; Facility ID 5084; PO Box 18247; Greensboro, NC 27419 |
| Phone / Video | County visitation uses IWebVisit registration and scheduling rules. |
| Money Deposit | IC Team3 lobby kiosk; online Team3/Inmate Canteen; certified/cashier checks or money orders by mail. |
| Cash Limit | Cash deposits limited to $300 per rolling week. |
| High Point Kiosk | County text gives conflicting hours, so confirm current lobby deposit hours before arrival. |
Booking and Transfers at High Point
A person arrested in Guilford County may be routed to Greensboro or High Point depending on arrest location, court or magistrate process, classification, housing needs, and available bed space. The county says both facilities follow the same policies and inmates may be assigned or transferred between them at any time. A roster result should be treated as current only after facility confirmation.
Booking records can show arrest date, booking agency, arresting agency if enabled, holding facility, court date, charge, and bond fields. For court case status after a jail arrest, use the North Carolina court system. For older or missing booking records, use Guilford County NextRequest.
High Point's location also matters for warrant and magistrate questions. The Sheriff's services page lists the High Point warrant office at 507 E. Green Drive and the High Point Magistrate's Office nearby at 505 E. Green Drive. Those contacts are tied to criminal process, while the detention center phone is the better route for custody status.
About High Point Detention Center
High Point's program list is distinct from Greensboro's. Guilford County lists Adult Basic Education, Computer Literacy, Toastmasters, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Life Skills enrichment, and religious services through Chaplain Services. The facility's New Generation direct-supervision model is a local detail worth preserving because it describes the building's supervision approach, not just its address.
High Point is also connected to the county's two-city court and warrant geography. The High Point Magistrate's Office is listed at 505 E. Green Drive, and the High Point warrant office is listed at 507 E. Green Drive. For the larger primary detention center, use the Greensboro Detention Center page.
For mail, the biggest practical difference is the facility ID. High Point mail uses Facility ID 5084, while Greensboro uses 5083. The county states mail will not be scanned if the envelope lacks the facility name, inmate name, inmate ID number, and facility ID. That small detail can decide whether a letter reaches the tablet-scanning system.
Books must come from a publisher or distributor under county rules, and authorized clothing items must be purchased through the canteen. Money can be deposited for High Point inmates through the same county vendor paths, but the conflicting lobby-kiosk hours make phone confirmation especially important before travel.
Note: Confirm custody, housing location, visit status, and kiosk hours with High Point Detention before making plans.
