Guilford County Detention Centers

Guilford County is one of the few counties in North Carolina with two separate detention centers. The Greensboro facility holds up to 1,032 inmates. The High Point facility holds up to 274. Together, they handle about 19,000 bookings per year. Both facilities contribute to the Guilford County jail roster.

The Guilford County Sheriff's Office manages both locations. Sheriff Danny Rogers oversees a large staff that handles patrol, investigations, court security, and detention. When someone is arrested in Guilford County, they are booked into one of the two detention centers. The choice of facility depends on the location of the arrest and available bed space. Regardless of which facility processes the booking, the information appears on the same Guilford County jail roster.

Greensboro is the county seat and the third largest city in North Carolina. High Point is known worldwide for its furniture market. Both cities have their own police departments. However, all county-level detention is handled by the sheriff's office.

Note: Inmates may be transferred between the Greensboro and High Point facilities, but they remain on the same Guilford County jail roster.
