Who to call for an inmate at Guilford County Detention (Greensboro & High Point)
Need to reach someone about an inmate in Guilford County? Start by calling the right detention center—the county operates separate facilities in Greensboro and High Point.
Greensboro Detention Center: (336) 641-2700. High Point Detention Center: (336) 641-7900. Not sure which facility? Call either one and ask staff to confirm where your person is housed before diving into your question.
