The Harnett County NC Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 175 Bain St Lillington, NC which is operated locally by the Harnett County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Harnett County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Lillington Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Detention Center includes 300 beds for inmates as well as the Harnett County Sheriff's Office and Harnett County Magistrate's Office. Visitors can enter either the Sheriff's Office Lobby or the Detention Center Lobby. The Sheriff's Office main lobby is an attractive area which provides a receptionist work area and a waiting area for citizens requesting permits or a visit with the Sheriff Staff. The Detention Lobby is for visitors who would like to speak with a Magistrate and is equipped with video stations for visitation. Offenders enter the facility via a secured vehicular sally port, then into a secure Pre-booking area which as access to Magistrates.

The Detention wing consists of seven housing pods: three direct supervision medium-security pods for male inmates; one direct supervision minimum security pod for males; two indirect supervision maximum security pods for male inmates; one indirect supervision minimum and maximum security pod for female inmates; and booking/intake, kitchen, medical and laundry areas. All housing pods have video visitation booths, multi-purpose rooms and outdoor exercise areas. The design of the pods utilize rear mechanical chases so that maintenance personnel do not enter the housing pods, and natural light comes into day rooms from window walls that are in unobstructed view of control areas.
