About the Brunswick County Detention Center

The Brunswick County Detention Center was first built in 2005 in its current location of 70 Stamp Act Drive in Bolivia, NC 28422, replacing an old jail that only had beds for only 75 inmates. The Brunswick County Detention Center now has a rated capacity of 444 inmates, this after a 280 bed, 68,000 square foot expansion that was completed in 2008 by the Bordeaux Construction Company, a well known contractor of secure facilities. Prior to the construction of this facility in 2005, Brunswick County was using a facility that was hastily built in 1971 at the rear of the jail pictured below, built in 1904, and is now a tourist attraction.

The Brunswick County Detention Center is a part of the Sheriff John C. Davis Law Enforcement Center, which also houses the Sheriff's Department for Brunswick County. You can reach the detention center 24 hours a day by calling 910-253-2760 to ask about an inmate or any of the ways to visit, call or write them if you can't find the relevant information in the sections below this one. 

Current programs at the Brunswick County Detention Center include: Alcoholics Anonymous; Bible study; church services; employment, housing and spiritual mentoring, the Stand Against Trafficking (STAT) group to help females who have been subject to human trafficking, Meditation of the Day, Workout of the Day, and a General Education Development (GED) program which helps inmates earn their high school diplomas while incarcerated.

If you want to look up an inmate online, use the Brunswick County Inmate Search. You will find the inmate's official mugshot, date of arrest, age and their criminal charges.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly, however the jail uses a digital service to avoid contraband entering the facility. The original letter will be scanned and then destroyed. Friends and family of inmates in the Brunswick County Detention Center can arrange to visit inmates by video, both at the jail and remotely from home. Friends and family can also communicate using an online text/email system, send them money and buy them commissary online, and set up a phone account that allows the inmates to call them during the day and evening seven days a week.
