Orange County's detention center serves the entire county including Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the UNC campus. Student and out-of-town arrests are common — and family is often far away. Here's how to handle it.
Orange County Detention Center
Address: 125 South Cameron Street, Hillsborough, NC 27278. Operated by the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Common Charges in Orange County
DWI, underage drinking, drug possession, and assault are among the most common — especially around UNC. Felony vs misdemeanor bail differences matter for what to expect.
