Why This Reference Exists
North Carolina makes many basic custody and release facts public, but no single system covers every person. The Buncombe County Sheriff holds county booking and release events. NCDAC maintains state prison, parole, probation, and post-release histories. Federal sentenced-prisoner records appear through BOP, while courts preserve orders and case outcomes. This site organizes those separate routes without claiming that one database answers every release question.
Information Collected Here

Limits of This Private Site
Buncombe County Released Inmates is independently operated. It has no connection with the Buncombe County Sheriff, a jail, NCDAC, a court, or any other government body.
- It cannot release, detain, or transfer a person.
- It cannot post bond, arrange visits, or send funds for a visitor.
- It does not give legal advice.
- It cannot promise that a phone number, fee, address, or public record is unchanged.
Only the responsible sheriff, court, corrections agency, or other custodian can confirm an official custody or release status.
Independent Search Partners
Some search boxes are supplied by outside providers that control their own prices, signup terms, and results. If a visitor follows one of those tools into a paid service, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep these public-reference pages available, but it does not give this site control over a partner’s data, fees, or performance.
