Locate Edgecombe Youth Development Center Records

Edgecombe YDC Overview

North Carolina DPS Juvenile Justice identifies Edgecombe Youth Development Center as a 44-bed self-contained secure complex serving male youth. The facility is operated by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The state page says the facility was originally built in 2008 and reopened in April 2016 after modifications that increased housing capabilities within four housing units.

The Facility Map uses a state-facility category because the build taxonomy does not have a juvenile-specific type, but Edgecombe YDC must be described as juvenile custody. It is not the Edgecombe County Detention Center, not the courthouse annex, not a county jail annex, and not an adult state prison. Public adult jail roster terms such as current confinements, mugshots, arresting agency, and bond do not fit this facility in the same way they fit adult bookings.

The average daily population and distinct-youth figures come from the FY 2023-2024 YDC annual report. They describe the state juvenile facility, not adult Edgecombe County jail population.

Edgecombe YDC Lookup Limits

Do not use Citizen Connect to search for youth at Edgecombe Youth Development Center. Citizen Connect is the Edgecombe County Sheriff's Office adult jail roster for local adult custody and recent adult bookings. Juvenile justice records are more restricted, and the research does not support any public roster of names, mugshots, charges, housing units, or public booking cards for Edgecombe YDC youth.

1. Use the official DPS Juvenile Justice facility page to confirm the facility address, phone, fax, director listing, and general facility identity.
2. Approved family or legal contacts should call the facility for case-specific visitation, contact, and communication rules.
3. Attorneys should use official juvenile court and DPS channels for authorized case access rather than adult jail roster tools.
4. Do not rely on adult jail mugshot pages, BOP, ICE, or NCDAC adult offender search for youth assigned to this secure juvenile facility.

Adults arrested in Edgecombe County should use the county jail pages for the Edgecombe County Detention Center and its annex. Edgecombe YDC belongs in the facility map because it is physically in the county, but its record-access rules are different.

Edgecombe YDC Contact

The state facility page lists Edgecombe YDC at 78 Positive Way in Rocky Mount. It also lists the facility phone, fax, and director contact. Case-specific questions should be handled through official DPS Juvenile Justice and approved family or legal channels because public disclosure rules for youth are not the same as adult inmate records.

The adult sheriff's detention number is not the right place to seek a juvenile name list or booking photo. For adult jail custody in Tarboro, use the sheriff's detention pages. For YDC contact, use the state facility source and approved juvenile justice process.

Edgecombe YDC Visitation

The reviewed DPS facility page gives address, phone, fax, director, capacity, and facility background, but it does not publish a full public visit schedule for Edgecombe YDC. Because youth development centers involve juveniles in secure state custody, visitation should be treated as an approved-contact process rather than an open adult jail video-visit schedule. Do not use the Edgecombe County jail's iWebVisit rules for YDC youth.

Adult detention rules from the Edgecombe County sheriff's page cover adult jail visitation and commissary. They do not establish public access, mail, phone, or money rules for Edgecombe YDC.

Edgecombe YDC Population

The FY 2023-2024 YDC annual report provides the strongest population data for this facility. It lists Edgecombe YDC capacity at 44 beds and average daily population at 43.6, which means the facility operated very close to its stated capacity during that fiscal year. It also reports 86 distinct juveniles served at Edgecombe YDC during FY 2023-2024.

The report also lists total expenses of $5,623,718, cost per bed of $127,812, and cost per ADP of $128,984 for Edgecombe YDC. Those figures describe state juvenile facility operations and should not be merged with adult county jail capacity or adult inmate-population counts.

Edgecombe YDC Source

The DPS youth development center page is the direct source for Edgecombe YDC's address, phone, secure-complex description, capacity, and four housing-unit background.

The state source supports facility identification, while the annual report supplies the population, staffing, cost, and program context.

Edgecombe YDC Programs

The FY 2023-2024 YDC annual report describes a broader state juvenile justice model around reentry, assessment, family engagement, restorative justice, education, treatment, and case planning. It reports Edgecombe YDC staffing across education, social work, nursing, psychology, chaplaincy, food service, youth counselor roles, supervisors, behavioral specialists, and administrators. Those details show a secure juvenile operation with a multidisciplinary staff profile rather than an adult jail pod model.

The report says restorative practices had been initiated at Edgecombe YDC and several juvenile detention centers. It also describes Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument work, coordinated case plans based on youth and family risks and strengths, Communities in Schools reentry support, and service matching. Those programs are state juvenile justice context, not proof that every youth has the same services or schedule.

Juvenile Record Boundaries

Edgecombe YDC should be handled with care because juvenile custody is not adult public booking. The research supports public facility facts, capacity, staffing, annual-report statistics, and program context. It does not support publishing or promising public youth names, mugshots, charges, bond information, housing assignments, or a searchable juvenile roster.

NC SAVAN/VINELink can provide custody-status notification for covered adult and state systems, but that does not create a public juvenile mugshot or charge page for Edgecombe YDC. Approved contacts should verify current rules with DPS Juvenile Justice or the facility, while adult jail searches should stay with the sheriff's Citizen Connect roster and adult detention contacts.
