How to Contact an Inmate at Yancey County Jail, NC (NC)

Your best starting point is the Yancey County Sheriff's Office mobile app. It includes inmate information, so you can confirm who's in custody before trying to call, visit, or send anything.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office mobile app to look up inmate-related information before you try to make contact.
• ✓ Re-check the app if something seems off, since inmate status and related details can change.

• ✓ If this is an emergency, call 911 (the Emergency Communications Center is staffed 24/7).
• ✓ If possible, call rather than text 911, because operators can get more information faster and text technology may not pinpoint your location.
• ✓ For non-emergency questions about an inmate, start with the Sheriff’s Office app and then use the Sheriff’s Office’s regular contact options.

Even with a solid starting point, double-check what you find. Use the Yancey County Sheriff's Office mobile app first for inmate information, then confirm anything time-sensitive directly with the Sheriff's Office before making plans or sending items.

For emergencies, Yancey County 911 is staffed around the clock. Call 911 when you can (rather than texting) so operators can gather key details quickly. For non-emergencies, check current procedures with the Sheriff's Office directly. Day-to-day processes can change.
