Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex Overview
The Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex is operated by the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office as part of the same detention complex as the main Cabarrus County Detention Center. County materials identify the annex at 20 Corban Avenue SE, Concord, NC 28025, beside the Sheriff's Office Administration building. It is a maximum security local confinement annex and is included in the county's detention operation rather than treated as a separate city jail, state prison, or standalone roster.
The annex opened in 2007 and has 96 beds in four pods. The main detention center opened later, in 2011, with 569 beds. Together, the two buildings create a stated sheriff detention capacity of 665 beds. FY2023 budget material said the annex had sat idle after the main facility opened, then recent upgrades and renovations were completed and all female inmates had been moved to the annex. FY2024 materials say repair work begun in 2021 is complete and the annex gives staff flexibility to rotate inmates while the main facility receives painting, maintenance, and top-tier enclosure work.
The Cabarrus FY2024 Detention Center Program explains the annex repair project, the 96-bed annex capacity, and the way the building supports the main detention center.
That county budget page is especially useful for the annex because it distinguishes the 20 Corban Avenue annex from the public jail contact address and from the 40 Corban Avenue main detention facility narrative address.
Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex Capacity and Population
The annex capacity is 96 beds in four pods, according to Cabarrus FY2023 and FY2024 detention program materials. The annex does not have a separate public population count in the research reviewed. Instead, the county reports the detention operation as a combined sheriff facility complex, with 569 beds in the main building and 96 annex beds for a total of 665. A public roster inspection on June 23, 2026 returned 454 current P2C records, but that roster did not expose a basic public annex housing field.
Because the annex is part of a larger detention complex, a person may appear in the Cabarrus Sheriff P2C roster without the public grid saying whether the person is in the annex or the main center. Families who need exact housing or visitor-arrival instructions should call the jail information line at 704-920-3058. The distinction is operational: the annex adds flexibility for female housing, inmate rotation, and renovations, while the sheriff's office remains the same operator.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex
Use the Cabarrus Sheriff P2C Inmate Inquiry for current county jail custody, including people housed in the annex. The annex does not have a separate public roster, and no separate annex search filter was located in the public P2C grid reviewed. The booking agency column showed Cabarrus County Sheriff, and the basic search asks for last name and first name rather than building location.
- Open Cabarrus Sheriff P2C Inmate Inquiry and search by last name, adding first name when the surname is common.
- Check the grid for name, primary charge, arrest date, and booking agency. The public result may not identify the annex.
- Open the inmate detail page for available custody fields such as arrest date, release date, next court date, photo area, and bond label.
- Call 704-920-3058 if the housing location, visit arrival point, or transfer status must be confirmed.
If the person no longer appears in Cabarrus P2C, the next search depends on custody type. NCDAC covers North Carolina state prison offenders, probationers, and parolees and expressly excludes county jail records. BOP is for federal sentenced custody. ICE ODLS is for immigration custody after transfer from a county hold. VINELink and NC SAVAN can provide custody-status notifications across county jail, state prison, probation, parole, and sex-offender records. The Cabarrus County Sheriff mobile app is another sheriff-published access point that advertises inmate search, emergency alerts, tips, contact information, and sex-offender features.
Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex Address and Contact
The annex address comes from Cabarrus budget materials, while the practical public phone number is the main jail information line. Use the jail line for custody confirmation, housing questions, mail questions, and whether visitation should begin at the visitation center listed at 30 Corban Avenue or another posted entrance.

Visiting Someone at Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex
Annex visitation follows the Cabarrus detention visitation rules unless detention staff give a different instruction for a particular inmate or housing unit. The visitation center is listed at 30 Corban Avenue, and visits are scheduled through the NCIC video visitation system or kiosk process. Appointments may be made up to one week in advance and must be made at least 24 hours before the visit. Cancellations must be made 48 hours in advance. Each visit is 45 minutes and starts on the hour.
| Day | Hours | Type / Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | No regular visitation listed | Confirm any exception with detention staff |
| Monday | No regular visitation listed | Regular appointment schedule not listed |
| Tuesday | 9 AM to 8 PM | Appointment only; 45-minute visit on the hour |

The Sheriff's visitation page links to the NCIC video visit scheduler for Cabarrus detention visits.
Call 704-920-3023 during visitation hours for visitation questions, and verify the correct arrival point if the inmate is believed to be housed in the annex.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex
The annex uses the same Cabarrus detention mail, canteen, and phone rules unless staff provide a specific instruction. Mail should use the inmate's name and PO Box 790, Concord, NC 28026. Do not address mail to the 20 Corban Avenue annex unless the jail specifically instructs that route. The county mail page says regular-size envelopes are required, correctional-facility mail is not accepted, and officers search incoming mail for contraband. Five pictures may be sent, while paperback books require preapproval and must come directly from a publisher or bookstore, three at a time.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Published Rate or Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Address | Inmate's Name, PO Box 790, Concord, NC 28026 | Regular envelope; no correctional-facility mail |
| Books | Paperback only; preapproved; publisher or bookstore shipment | Three at a time |
| Canteen Deposits | team3.inmatecanteen.com or Sheriff's office lobby kiosk | Kiosk listed 8 AM to 5 PM Monday-Friday |
| Phone Account | NCIC, 1-800-943-2189 or NCIC website | No incoming calls and no three-way calls |
| Local / In-State / Out-of-State Calls | NCIC prepaid or collect account | $0.17 per minute |
| International Calls | NCIC account | $0.35 per minute |
| Connection Fees | Cabarrus phone page states none | No connection fees listed |
The official Cabarrus mail and property page lists the mailing address, accepted envelope rules, picture limits, book preapproval, and return-mail triggers.
Those mail rules apply to the detention operation as a whole, so the safest practice is to use the PO Box format and avoid sending property to the annex building address.
Booking, Housing, and Rotation at Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex
The annex is best understood as a housing and operational support building rather than a separate booking system. A person booked into Cabarrus detention enters the sheriff's custody process and may later be housed or moved according to classification, bed availability, gender housing, safety, maintenance, or rotation needs. FY2023 materials noted that female inmates had been moved to the annex after renovations. FY2024 materials described the annex as a way to rotate inmates while the main detention center receives minor renovations.
The public roster did not show a basic housing-unit or pod field in the grid reviewed. That means the online search can confirm current Cabarrus custody without necessarily telling a family whether the person is in the annex. For bond, release, court dates, and charge disposition, use the roster only as a starting point. The court record may change after booking, and the Sheriff roster warns that charges can change due to court disposition. The Cabarrus court records after jail arrest page explains how jail custody information and court case information diverge.
About Cabarrus County Detention Center Annex
Cabarrus County's annex history is specific. It opened before the main detention center, then sat idle after the larger 2011 main facility opened. The county later began repair and renovation work, with FY2023 materials saying the work was complete and female inmates had been moved there. FY2024 materials say annex repair work started in 2021 and is now complete, giving detention staff flexibility as the main facility receives painting, general maintenance, and top-tier enclosure work intended to reduce suicide risk without blocking staff observation.
The annex also connects to larger county population pressure. The main center and annex together provide 665 beds, but Cabarrus budget materials describe rising jail populations, a new housing pod, and additional detention officers. County detention materials also describe growing mental-health challenges, Special Watch Rounds at least every 15 minutes for qualifying inmates, and the use of body-worn cameras and vehicle cameras in detention and transport operations. Those details explain why a 96-bed annex has practical importance even though it does not have a separate public roster.
Note: Confirm exact housing, visitation location, and current custody with Cabarrus detention staff before relying on annex placement.
