The Statewide Misdemeanant Confinement Program (SMCP) manages the housing, transportation, and medical expenses of state inmates convicted of a misdemeanor crime, including DWI, and sentenced to more than 90 days to be served in county jails. County jails may volunteer available space in local facilities to house Program inmates. Counties are reimbursed for expenses related to housing Program inmates from the Statewide Misdemeanant Confinement Fund. The North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association manages the day-to-day operations of the program.
The following counties have volunteered space to house a limited number of inmates pursuant to the Statewide Misdemeanant Confinement Program.
