Forsyth County LEDC Inmate Lookup

LEDC Custody Overview

The official name is Forsyth County Sheriff's Office Law Enforcement Detention Center. Local pages often shorten it to LEDC or the Detention Center. The jail is operated by the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office and serves as the local confinement facility for male and female pretrial inmates and sentenced misdemeanants. A person arrested by the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, Winston-Salem Police Department, Kernersville Police Department, or another local agency may be booked here while the case is pending in court.

The jail is a downtown Winston-Salem building at 201 North Church Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101. Official sheriff materials describe it as an adult maximum security detention facility bordered by Second Street, Third Street, Church Street, and Chestnut Street. The building is a full-block, urban jail near the court and government center area, which is why custody lookup, court dates, records requests, and visitor planning often overlap for the same arrest.

The official LEDC facility page shows the detention center description and photo used for local jail orientation.

The screenshot supports the core distinction for this facility: it is the county jail, not a state prison, and its search path starts with sheriff custody tools.

LEDC Capacity Facts

Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center has a rated capacity of 1,016 beds. The sheriff facility page and the 2025 FCSO annual report both repeat that capacity figure. Other official material describes the plant as a 400,000 square foot, eleven-story twin tower jail with 735 modular steel cells. A county health-care services document adds that the jail has nine housing floors, each with a medical exam room, plus a main medical unit on the third floor.

No current official daily population dashboard was located in the available official sources. A historical correctional population table listed 717 local jail inmates on December 31, 2013, but that is not a current roster count. For a live custody answer, the sheriff P2C Inmates module or the Detention Center phone line is the right source.

Search LEDC Inmates

Current Forsyth County jail custody is searched through Forsyth Sheriff P2C Inmates. That portal is for people held in the county jail. It is not the right search for sentenced state prisoners at Forsyth Correctional Center. If a name does not appear in the county roster, also check the P2C Recent Arrests and Daily Bulletin modules for very recent booking context or call the jail directly.

1. Open the sheriff P2C Inmates module and search the live custody list.
2. Check spelling, middle names, and alternate last names if the first search fails.
3. Use P2C Recent Arrests or Daily Bulletin if the person was just arrested or may have bonded out.
4. Call 336-917-7600 when the online roster is unavailable or the status is time-sensitive.
5. For older or restricted report details, use the Sheriff's Office Records Division public-window process.

The P2C Inmates route is the verified sheriff inmate module for current county jail search.

Because the P2C application renders some fields through JavaScript, use the live profile itself to confirm current field labels and custody details.

LEDC Address and Contact

The Detention Center phone line is the main fallback when the online roster does not answer a custody question. For records that are not just current custody, the sheriff Records Division is at the Sheriff's Office Administration Building at 301 North Church Street. Official research says front-page incident reports may be requested in person with valid North Carolina identification, a written application, and a report number. Full incident reports are limited and may require a court order.

LEDC Visitation Rules

Public visitation at Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center is organized by housing unit. The official visitation material lists three public visit windows: 9:00-11:30 a.m., 1:00-3:00 p.m., and 5:30-7:30 p.m. Visitors must register at least 30 minutes before the visit period ends. The P2C FAQ adds a practical rule that public visitors may bring only identification and keys. Other property must stay in a vehicle or public locker.

The official LEDC visitation page displays the housing-unit visitation schedule used for public visits.

The schedule should be checked before travel because housing assignment controls which days are available.

Clergy visits are non-contact pastoral visits for approved ordained clergy or licensed ministers. The clergy policy says the visits do not count toward an inmate's two weekly public visits, but the clergy member must meet proof, age, ID, and annual approval requirements.

LEDC Money and Packages

Commissary and money deposits for Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center use McDaniel Supply Company and the Jail Pack Store website. The official commissary page says the lobby kiosk is in the back of the detention center lobby, accepts cash or credit cards, and is available 24 hours a day. The page also posts lobby hours of Monday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m., and lists 912-427-9022 as the help phone for the vendor service.

The official LEDC commissary page identifies the deposit methods and Jail Pack Store path for families.

The screenshot is useful because commissary timing can depend on when the person was booked into the jail.

The available official material does not provide the full mail-notice text here. Confirm current mail format, scan rules, and banned-item lists with the jail before sending anything beyond ordinary correspondence.

LEDC Booking and Intake

Booking is the administrative step after arrest. At Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center, it can include identity checks, property handling, fingerprinting, a booking photo, charge entry, medical screening, and an initial housing or classification decision. The health-care RFQ says medical care begins when a person is admitted into the booking area and continues until release or transfer.

The same source describes required health and behavioral-health work inside the jail: pre-booking health screening, mental-health screening, urgent psychiatric referral categories, medication delivery seven days a week, chronic-disease programming, pregnancy care, dental referrals, outside hospital tracking, and release medication bridging in some cases. This does not mean every inmate receives every service. It shows the detention center is built to manage medical and mental-health needs in a large adult jail.

After booking, court action controls many custody changes. A bond amount can change after a magistrate or judge acts, charges can be reviewed by prosecutors, and a sentenced state prisoner may move out of the county jail into North Carolina Department of Adult Correction custody.

LEDC Programs and Records

Program and condition details come mostly from official health-care and jail policy material. The jail has housing-floor exam rooms, a third-floor medical unit, and behavioral-health programming areas described for men and women. The SUPER program focuses on people incarcerated in the Forsyth County Detention Center with opioid and alcohol addictions and may involve screening, assessment, Vivitrol before release, and coordination with the DATA program when clinically appropriate.

Public access to jail information has limits. Current custody starts with P2C Inmates, while recent arrest context may appear in P2C Recent Arrests or the Daily Bulletin. Incident report requests use the sheriff Records Division process, and full incident reports may be restricted. State prison custody is searched in NC DAC, federal sentenced custody is searched in BOP, and immigration detention is searched in ICE ODLS.
