### If you or a loved one has been arrested in Johnston County then you might have some questions regarding the procedures and the rules surrounding the detention center. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.

 

#### **Where is the detention center?**

 

The Johnston County Detention Center is located at 127 S. Second St., Smithfield, NC 27577. This is the location where law enforcement agents will take detainees to be processed.

Appointments are based on a “first come, first serve” basis. Only 4 people may visit an inmate during an appointment. Each inmate is allowed one 15 minute appointment per week. Each person registering to visit that is 16 years of age or older must have a valid ID or driver’s license issued by the DMV and be accompanied by an adult age 18 years or older. Visitation is located at 127 S. Second Street, Smithfield, NC 27577, in the Magistrate’s lobby.
