(3) A Class A1 misdemeanor or felony under Article 8 of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes.
(4) Any violation of G.S. 50B‑4.1.

If the prisoner has not been lawfully admitted to the United States, the United States Department of Homeland Security will have been notified of the prisoner's status and confinement at the facility by its receipt of the query from the facility.
(b1) When any person charged with a criminal offense is confined for any period in a county jail, local confinement facility, district confinement facility, satellite jail, or work release unit, and the administrator or other person in charge of the facility has been notified that Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the United States Department of Homeland Security has issued a detainer and administrative warrant that reasonably appears to be for the person in custody, the following shall apply:
(1) Prior to the prisoner's release, and after receipt of the detainer and administrative warrant, or a copy thereof, by the administrator or other person in charge of the facility, the prisoner shall be taken without unnecessary delay before a State judicial official who shall be provided with the detainer and administrative warrant, or a copy thereof.
(2) The judicial official shall issue an order directing the prisoner be held in custody if the prisoner appearing before the judicial official is the same person subject to the detainer and administrative warrant.

a. The passage of 48 hours, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and holidays, from receipt of the detainer and administrative warrant.
b. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the United States Department of Homeland Security takes custody of the prisoner.
c. The detainer is rescinded by Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the United States Department of Homeland Security.
(b2) The administrator or other person in charge of any county jail, local confinement facility, district confinement facility, satellite jail, or work release unit shall adopt a policy for compliance with the provisions of subsection (b1) of this section.
(b3) No State or local law enforcement officer or agency shall have criminal or civil liability for action taken pursuant to an order issued under subsection (b1) of this section.
(c) Nothing Except as provided in subsection (b1) of this section, nothing in this section shall be construed to deny bond to a prisoner or to prevent a prisoner from being released from confinement when that prisoner is otherwise eligible for release.
…

(4) The number of times a prisoner was held for the full 48 hours.
(5) The number of times a prisoner was held then released following the rescinding of a detainer order by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the United States Department of Homeland Security.
(6) The number of times a prisoner was held who would have otherwise been eligible for release from custody.
