Need to find out if someone is at Lexington County Jail? The Lexington County Sheriff's online inmate search is the fastest place to start. It includes booking photos, which makes it easy to confirm you've got the right person.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Department runs an online inmate search that includes booking photos. If you're looking for someone with a common name, the photo is a quick way to verify you've found the right listing - before you start calling, planning a visit, or putting money on their account.
Detention center help line: For detention center questions - visitation, telephone calls, and inmate financial matters - call 803-785-2740.
Each listing on the inmate roster shows the person's name, primary charge, arrest/booking date, and booking agency. These details help you distinguish between people with similar names and give you a clearer picture of why someone is being held.
Tip: Pay attention to the “booking agency” on the roster - it can help you confirm which agency handled the arrest.
