If you have a loved one who has been incarcerated in South Carolina, it's natural to want to know where they are and how they're doing. Fortunately, there are several options available for locating inmates in South Carolina state correctional facilities. 

The South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) is responsible for maintaining the state's correctional facilities. The SCDC operates 21 facilities across the state, including 15 prisons, four community supervision centers, and two reentry centers. 

If your loved one is in a state correctional facility, you can find them using the SCDC's inmate locator tool on their website. The tool allows you to search for inmates by name or SCDC identification number. The main state prisons in South Carolina include: 

  • Broad River Correctional Institution 
  • Lee Correctional Institution 
  • McCormick Correctional Institution 
  • Perry Correctional Institution 
  • Ridgeland Correctional Institution 

If your loved one is in a federal correctional facility in South Carolina, you can use the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate locator tool on their website. The main federal prisons in South Carolina include: 

  • Bennettsville Federal Correctional Institution 
  • Edgefield Federal Correctional Institution 
  • Estill Federal Correctional Institution 
  • Williamsburg Federal Correctional Institution 

County jails in South Carolina are managed by the individual counties. If your loved one is in a county jail, you'll need to contact the county sheriff's office to get information about their location and status. Some of the largest county jails in South Carolina include the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center in Richland County, the Greenville County Detention Center, and the Charleston County Detention Center. 

The Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) system is a national program that provides information about the custody status of offenders. In South Carolina, the VINE system is managed by the state's Attorney General's Office. To use the VINE system to find an offender in South Carolina, you'll need to register for an account on the VINE website. Once you've registered, you can search for offenders by name or SCDC identification number. You can also sign up to receive automatic notifications when an offender's custody status changes.
