Beaufort County Detention, SC

Beaufort County Detention permits onsite visitation every day except Sunday, with visits suspended at 15:30 hours. Offsite visitation is available when inmates are on recreation and follows the same schedule. There's no stated limit on the number of visitors, though visits may cost you and adult visitors must be registered. Each inmate gets two free onsite visits per week, and visitor limits may differ for special events like Children's Day. Expect security screening: all onsite visitors must clear a checkpoint, and failing screening can lead to a more thorough search. A Shift Commander may authorize a frisk—refuse, and your visit will be denied. Inmates in Bravo 4 or on suicide watch cannot receive visits, and modified recreation may limit visits to one or two per day.

Beaufort County Detention has telephones in each housing unit. Calls are collect-only with a 10-minute limit, and all calls are recorded and monitored. IC Solutions handles calling accounts—reach them at 1-888-506-8407 for setup and support. Most billing or technical issues go through the vendor, not the detention center. Don't want to receive calls? Press #9 when you accept a call to block all future calls from the facility. Before relying on phone communication, confirm your loved one can call you and that your name matches what's required on their approved contact list and any vendor identity checks.

Beaufort County Detention allows inmates to receive unlimited mail, but staff will open and inspect non-privileged mail for contraband. Address letters to P.O. Drawer 1228, Beaufort, SC 29901-1228, and include the inmate's pod and number on the envelope. Always add a full return address. Oversized greeting cards and perfumed letters aren't accepted. Photos are allowed with restrictions: no Polaroids, nothing larger than 5 x 7 inches, and inmates may keep up to six photos. Books and magazines must come directly from the publisher. Packages require prior approval—confirm screening and processing steps before sending anything.

Beaufort County Detention accepts deposits by mail or online. For mailed deposits, send a money order or cashier's check through U.S. Mail.
