Guilford County Jail Inmate Communication Overview
Guilford County Jail is the county detention system in Greensboro, North Carolina, operated by the Guilford County Sheriff's Office. It includes the Greensboro Detention Center and the High Point Detention Center, which together house pretrial and sentenced inmates from across Guilford County in the Piedmont Triad.
Communication runs through Securus Technologies, which provides the jail's phone system and video visitation. Families set up Securus accounts to receive calls and to schedule video visits, and inmates use debit or prepaid calling options to place calls. Visitors must be on the inmate's approved list.
