South Carolina Inmate Search

All South Carolina inmate data is accessible on the South Carolina department of corrections website, where you will see a prisoner lookup tool. The website contains inmates currently incarcerated in South Carolina only. However, the locator tool will not display data on inmates on parole, county prisons, and juvenile, and released inmates.  

Below is how to conduct a South Carolina offender lookup.  

1. Access The South Carolina Department of Correction website.  
2. Identify the offender lookup tool on the page.  
3. Provide the inmate's full name or SCDC number. Suppose you do not have the inmate's SCDC number; the name is enough to give you a good number of results based on the name you provided.  
4. A list of inmates will be displayed; go through the list to identify the inmate you are looking for.  
5. Click on the inmate whose information you are interested in, and a larger view of their data will appear on the screen.  
6. The search tool will provide the inmate's mugshots, conviction, race, gender, prison number, release date, and imprisonment facility.  

Suppose visiting The South Carolina Department of Correction website does not work for you; you may consider using the inmate information line-1-866-727-2846.  

Information on this website is not guaranteed to be accurate; therefore, it is not meant to be published. The department will not be held responsible for the damage brought about by publishing it.  

South Carolina Inmate Roster  

South Carolina inmate rosters contain official information on inmates in the state's county jails and state prisons. The information comprises their name, registration number, birth date, offense information, incarceration status, and location of the incarceration facility. The united states consider such inmate data public in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. 

Therefore, traditional governmental agencies, third-party websites, and organizations can disseminate this information to the public or other organizations that need it. Inmate data disseminated by traditional governmental agencies are up-to-date and believed to be reliable. However, only individuals living within the state where the inmate is being held can access the inmate's data. In other words, traditional governmental agencies are geographically restricted.  

Unlike traditional government agencies, third-party websites and organizations have no geographical restrictions. You can access inmates' information despite the state of imprisonment. All you will need is the inmate's name, state, county, and city where the inmate resides. However, the information on such websites more often varies since they are not government-sponsored.  

South Carolina Department of Correction 

The South Carolina Department of Correction is responsible for all inmate records in every county within the state. The department has developed programs and services that contribute to inmates' rehabilitation before returning to the community.  

Below are programs and rehabilitation services developed for inmates in South Carolina custody waiting for release: 

• The Division of behavioral health and substance abuse services- This program helps inmates battling with behavioral and drug abuse issues to recover. It first identifies, assesses then provides treatment services to such inmates.  
• Reentry services- Reentry services are provided to inmates to help them reintegrate into society. The services comprise jobs, treatment, and housing to transform an inmate into a responsible and reproductive member of society.  
• Educational and vocational training- The South Carolina DOC ensure inmates undergo educational and vocational training to attain job skills or get their GED.  
• The shock incarceration program- The shock incarceration program offers inmates a 90-day training program where inmates are offered substance abuse treatment, academic education, and mental health treatment. After which, the inmate receives parole and goes back to the community.
