The Franklin County Detention Complex is located adjacent to the Sheriff’s Office at 285 T Kemp Road, Louisburg, NC 27549. This facility has recently undergone extensive renovations and has the capacity to house a total of 176 local, state and federal inmates.

If you or a member of your family has received a custodial sentence, the process of being incarcerated can be a daunting experience. On behalf of my Detention staff, I would like to assure you that regardless of the reasons for the incarceration any person detained within the detention complex will be treated fairly and professionally while being detained at the facility, and that all grievances will be addressed within a 24-hour period.

Visitation

On the day that someone is allowed to have visitors, the person in jail will get a sheet to add two visitors to their list. You can't find out who is on the visitor list over the phone, you have to be there in person with a photo ID. For security reasons, you can't bring anything into the facility unless it's for a medical condition. Any medications must be approved by the medical staff. When you come for the visit, you need to show a photo ID. Children under 4 are not allowed in the visitation area. The staff at the jail won't give messages to the person in jail. You can't bring a cell phone. Visits are only 20 minutes long. You need to plan ahead and coordinate with the person in jail to be on their visitor list.
