Inmate records in North Carolina are maintained by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS). According to chapter 148 article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes, the records section of the NCDPS is required to collect, classify, and maintain vital information of all inmates housed in any of the state’s 57 correctional centers. Examples of information in the record include names, date of birth, photographs, and fingerprints of inmates. This information is often needed by law enforcement agencies, correctional agencies, or courts for investigation or statistics purposes. Sometimes, individuals or employers may use the records to carry out background checks on ex-convicts.
