Greensboro vs. High Point Detention Centers: Addresses, Phone Numbers, and Capacity

Greensboro Detention Center sits at 201 S. Edgeworth St., Greensboro, NC 27401. Call 336-641-2700 for general inquiries. Need to fax paperwork? Use 336-641-2793.

High Point Detention Center contact details are listed by the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office in the same detention services information. Use the High Point listing there to confirm you have the right address and phone number before you travel or send documents.

Greensboro Jail Central (Greensboro Detention) has a rated capacity of 1,032 beds, with an average daily population of 690. “Rated capacity” is the number of beds the jail is designed or approved to hold, while “average daily population” is a typical day-to-day snapshot of how many people are housed there.

Bed-space information for the High Point facility is also published by the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, but the exact figure should be pulled directly from that listing to avoid mix-ups.

Both facilities are described as offering programs and services in the detention services materials, including options that may cover education, recovery support, life-skills/rehabilitation, and religious services. Programs can change based on staffing and housing needs, so if you’re trying to help someone sign up, the most reliable move is to call the facility and ask what’s currently available for their housing unit.
