Henderson County Detention Center

HCSO Detention Facility

General Information

The Henderson County Detention Center provides a safe and secure facility for the inmate population in Henderson County. The Detention Facility is located at 375 First Avenue East in Hendersonville directly behind the Henderson County Sheriff's Office building. The facility first opened in 2001 and contains 222 beds housed in 5 different housing units. One of the unique designs about this facility is the ability to transfer inmates directly from the detention center to the Henderson County Courthouse without leaving the confines of the structure. Henderson County's facility was the first in the Carolinas to use a video visitation system for inmates and their visitors.

Our primary purpose is the safe custody and control of inmates housed at the facility. A list of agencies that we support in housing their inmates include: Henderson County Sheriff’s Office, Hendersonville, Laurel Park and Fletcher Police Departments, N.C. Highway Patrol and others.
