When Can You Visit? Greenville County Detention Center's Building-by-Building Schedule
Greenville County Detention Center offers visitation seven days a week, but your visit times depend on where the person is housed. Use the building and pod schedule below to find the right hours for your trip.
Visitation runs 7 days a week at Greenville County Detention Center, but not everyone has the same setup. The type of visit - video monitor, telephone with glass barrier, or vented glass - depends on where the inmate is housed. That's why the schedule works best when you break it down building by building, and sometimes pod by pod.
You'll see plenty of time blocks listed, but there's a weekly cap: inmates get two visits per week, 30 minutes each. Pick the two windows that fit the person's housing location and your schedule.
Tip: Because both visitation type and visit availability depend on housing, confirm the person’s current housing assignment before you travel - then match it to the building/pod schedule below.
Building One's Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red pods all share the same half-hour visit slots. Morning options: 8:00AM, 8:30AM, 9:00AM, 9:30AM, 10:00AM, and 10:30AM. Afternoon: 1:00PM, 1:30PM, 2:00PM, and 2:30PM. Evening slots run from 6:30PM through 9:30PM in half-hour increments - 6:30PM, 7:00PM, 7:30PM, 8:00PM, 8:30PM, 9:00PM, and 9:30PM.
Reminder: Multiple time slots are listed for Building One, but inmates are still limited to two 30-minute visits per week - plan your two visits around the times that work best.
Building Two gets more specific by pod. Think of it as two schedule groups. The first - pods B, C, D, E, F, G, i1, i2, i3, J1, J2, J3, K, and L - has daily visiting at 9:00AM, 10:00AM, and 2:00PM. The second group - pods M through Y - runs on a different daily schedule: 8:30AM, 9:30AM, 10:30AM, 1:30PM, and 2:30PM.
A-block is the exception. Units A3 and A4 have an 8:00AM visiting slot, while A5 and A6 show 8:00AM on some days and "NONE" on others. If you're visiting someone in an A unit, double-check the specific day and time before making the trip.
- ✓ Confirm whether the inmate is in the B/C/D/E/F/G/i1–i3/J1–J3/K/L group (9:00AM, 10:00AM, 2:00PM) or the M–Y group (8:30AM, 9:30AM, 10:30AM, 1:30PM, 2:30PM)
- ✓ Plan around the right time set (the two groups use different morning/afternoon blocks)
- ✓ If they’re in A3/A4 or A5/A6, look for the 8:00AM slot and be ready for “NONE” on some days
Building Four visits go through the Video Visitation Office in the public lobby of Building Two. The office is open 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., seven days a week, with the last visit accepted at 5:30 p.m. Visits are first-come, first-serve - arriving earlier helps you avoid a wait.
For Building Four units 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B, video visiting runs 8:00AM to 5:00PM daily. If your loved one is in one of these units, that's your window.
SHU visits follow a tighter schedule: 8:00AM–10:30AM and 1:00PM–2:30PM. Don't assume the all-day video hours apply - SHU has its own rules.
Tip: Building Four video visit hours and SHU visit windows are not the same - confirm which housing status applies before you head to the facility.
Before you finalize travel plans, confirm where the inmate is currently housed. Housing can change, and the Detention Center is clear on this: call or visit to find out an inmate's housing location. That one step can save you from showing up on the wrong day, at the wrong building, or during the wrong time block.
Reminder: Confirm the current housing assignment before you travel, and plan around the two-visits-per-week limit (30 minutes each) so you don’t waste a trip.
