Overview
North Carolina's Offender Public Information Search works for finding someone in state prison or on probation or parole—you can search by name or offender ID. But it won't show people held in county jails. For Surry County Jail, check the Surry County Sheriff's inmate listing (usually posted on the county website). Keep in mind that county rosters update on their own schedules. Many search tools let you filter by status and age, and some support "sounds like" name matching to catch spelling variations. Results typically include name, offender numbers, charges, booking or arrest dates, custody status, and basic physical details. One note about the sex offender registry: using that information to threaten, harass, stalk, or intimidate someone is prohibited.
