Pasquotank Federal Release Paths
No dedicated federal correctional institution or ICE detention center was identified in Pasquotank County. That absence does not rule out federal or immigration custody. The U.S. Marshals Service can hold a federal pretrial prisoner in a contract location. ICE can assume custody after local criminal detention. A sentenced federal prisoner may later appear in the Bureau of Prisons system outside the county.
“Released by the county” means only that local authority ended. The person may enter USMS, BOP, ICE, state, or another county's custody. Likewise, BOP “RELEASED” means the person is no longer in BOP custody. It does not prove the end of supervised release or all other custody. ICE locator silence is even narrower because the tool is designed for current locatable detention, not a historic release log.
| Custody channel | Public starting point | What it can establish |
|---|---|---|
| BOP sentenced custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal prison location or a release date for many covered records |
| USMS pretrial custody | Federal docket and holding facility | Detention or release order and local movement context |
| ICE detention | Online Detainee Locator | Current locatable ICE detention |
| Local contract leg | ADJ release or transfer record | When local custody ended and receiving agency, if recorded and public |
Confirm Pasquotank Federal Releases
Start with the authority named in the warrant, court record, jail destination field, or prior locator result. Do not search every system and treat silence as a combined clearance. Each database has a distinct population, time span, and definition of custody. Record the exact result, retrieval time, and identifiers used.
- Search the BOP Inmate Locator by register number when known. For a name search, compare age, race, sex, and other result fields.
- Review the federal docket for the detention, release, judgment, or transfer order. A court order states authority, while physical processing can occur later.
- For a USMS pretrial person, ask the holding facility and relevant USMS office about the public movement or release route. There is no BOP-style former-prisoner USMS locator.
- Search the ICE Online Detainee Locator with the correct A-number and country of birth or exact biographical details.
- If local confinement was involved, request ADJ's release or transfer entry and receiving-agency field. Compare it with the next system's record.
Pasquotank BOP Release Records
The BOP locator is the main public historic search for sentenced federal custody. A number search uses a BOP register number in the standard five-digit, hyphen, three-digit format. The locator also supports first, middle, and last name with race, sex, and age filters. Results can show name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location.
BOP explains that a location of “RELEASED” means the person is no longer in BOP custody. A past release date is strong evidence for that federal prison departure. A future date is projected and can change after sentence-credit review or another administrative action. “Unknown” can mean that a term has not yet been determined. An “in transit” status can reflect USMS movement for court and does not establish release.
Online coverage generally includes federal inmates released after 1982. BOP points older-record requests to the National Archives. Such a request should include the person's name, date and place of birth or approximate age, race, and approximate prison dates. For a recent record, preserve the register number because it is a stronger match than a name.
- RELEASED
- No longer in BOP custody; another custody or supervision status may follow.
- Projected date
- An expected federal release date that can change.
- In transit
- Movement between locations or for proceedings, often under USMS authority.
- Supervised release
- A federal court-ordered period after imprisonment, distinct from BOP physical custody.
Note: A BOP release date ends BOP custody only; the federal docket may still show supervised release or another order.
Pasquotank USMS Custody Records
The U.S. Marshals Service ordinarily controls federal pretrial prisoners and movements. Its Prisoner Operations description explains that role, but USMS does not offer a public historic locator like BOP. A person housed locally for a federal matter may never appear as a sentenced BOP prisoner during that stage.
The federal docket is the durable public starting point. Locate the detention order, bond or release order, judgment, and later revocation or transfer events. Then ask the local holding facility whether it executed a departure and to which authority. When public information remains unavailable, a narrow USMS FOIA request can seek an existing record. Identify the person, case, district, approximate dates, and specific movement or release field.

No stand-alone USMS facility verified in Pasquotank County
Use the federal docket, identified holding facility, and the USMS district or FOIA channel.
A federal release order proves the legal decision. The holding facility can show when that order was carried out. If another warrant or detainer applied, a court-authorized release from one federal case may coincide with continued custody elsewhere.
Pasquotank ICE Custody Search
ICE's Online Detainee Locator is mainly a current-location service. Search by the nine-digit A-number, adding leading zeroes as the interface directs, and country of birth. The alternate route uses exact name, date of birth, and country. The locator does not show children under 18 and is not designed as a historical release archive.
No result has several possible causes. The person may have transferred, been booked recently, entered data under a different spelling, been released or removed, or have a restricted record. The ICE Detention Reporting and Information Line at 1-888-351-4024 is the official follow-up route. Provide an A-number when lawfully known and do not report immigration status from a name match alone.

Phone: 1-888-351-4024
Use for locator help and detention information after an inconclusive current search.
Protected immigration records may require ICE's FOIA or privacy process and the person's authorization where required. A local court or jail record may show that a detainer existed while protected case detail remains unavailable.
Note: ICE locator silence is inconclusive because the tool does not provide a complete historical release record.
ADJ Release to ICE Custody
A March 19, 2020 287(g) Warrant Service Officer agreement for Albemarle District Jail described transfer of specified noncitizens to ICE at scheduled release from criminal custody. The date matters. Current operation must be verified, and the document should not be treated as proof that any named person was subject to it.
The agreement explains a local custody pattern. An ADJ release entry can close criminal detention while ICE custody starts. An immigration detainer asks for advance notice and additional holding under federal request terms so DHS can assume custody. The jail's destination or receiving-agency field, the ICE locator, and the relevant court documents should be read together.
This distinction is why “released from Albemarle District Jail” cannot automatically mean “returned to Pasquotank County.” The ADJ release-record route shows how to request the actual local departure type and time. Verify the current federal side independently.
Pasquotank Federal Release Records
The record request belongs with the agency that created each document. ADJ can hold its booking, release, and receiving-agency entries. The federal court can hold detention and release orders. USMS can hold prisoner movement records. BOP holds sentenced federal custody and release history. ICE holds protected immigration detention records subject to its access rules.
| Needed fact | Likely custodian | Useful identifier |
|---|---|---|
| Local departure time and destination | Albemarle District Jail | Booking number and local case |
| Federal release authority | Federal court clerk | Federal case number |
| Pretrial movement | USMS or holding facility | Case, district, and dates |
| BOP release date | BOP | Register number |
| ICE location or protected history | ICE | A-number and authorization if required |
Ask for a specific existing record, date field, or transfer entry. A broad request for everything can delay routing and raise confidentiality issues. Seek electronic delivery and a fee estimate. Preserve the result date because federal locator records and current custody can change.
Pasquotank Federal Release Evidence
A complete custody timeline may cross several systems. Begin with the local booking and federal case. Add the authority that took custody. Then use the locator that matches that authority. End with the most recent actual release, transfer, or supervision event. Never merge dates from separate agencies into a single unnamed release date.
For example, ADJ may record a departure to USMS, the docket may record federal detention, and BOP may later show a sentenced admission and eventual release. Another path can move from ADJ to ICE without any BOP record. The absence of a state NCDAC result adds no proof because state prison is a different system.
The Pasquotank County release search supplies the wider custody ladder when the trail also includes state prison, local court, VINE, or supervision. Report only what each source supports. A locator proves its own custody status, not the person's entire legal status.
Note: Preserve exact agency language, identifiers, and retrieval times when two official sources update on different schedules.
