Spartanburg County Detention

Spartanburg County Detention typically allows two in-person visits per week (30 minutes each), plus one paid remote visit of 20 or 40 minutes—unless the inmate is under a restriction. All visits must be scheduled in advance through Securus (securustech.net) or the NetVisit Scheduler. Arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in with a valid photo ID. You'll need to be registered and approved through Securus before visiting—unregistered people in the visiting area may be removed, and approved visitors risk losing privileges. Expect a dress code, metal detector screening, and possibly a pat-down. You generally can't leave items for inmates, except money via the lobby kiosk during a scheduled visit.

Phone service at Spartanburg County Detention runs through Securus. All calls are recorded and monitored by detention staff. When first admitted, each arrestee gets one free local call to notify family, friends, or an attorney. After that, calls default to collect unless the inmate purchases phone time at the canteen kiosk using their PIN. If you receive threatening or harassing calls, report them to your local law enforcement—recorded calls can be accessed for investigation. For account setup, billing, scheduling, or technical issues, use the vendor's portal or help line rather than contacting the facility directly.

Spartanburg County Detention scans incoming non-privileged mail and delivers it electronically. Send standard letters to PO Box 9133, Seminole, FL 33775 for processing. Legal or privileged correspondence goes to the jail's physical address—950 California Ave, Spartanburg, SC 29303—and should be labeled "Attn: [inmate name]" to preserve privileged status. Sending money? The jail only accepts U.S. Postal Money Orders. Write the inmate's name and inmate number on the money order, and don't include letters or photos in the same envelope. Books are tightly restricted: only new paperbacks purchased through Amazon or Barnes & Noble are allowed. Used books, hardcovers, sexually oriented material, or anything that could incite a disturbance will be returned.

Spartanburg County Detention has a 24/7 kiosk in the main jail lobby (950 California Ave) where you can deposit cash, credit, or debit into an inmate's account. Cash deposits carry a $3.00 transaction fee; credit and debit deposits have variable deductions. The kiosk prints a receipt when you pay. You can also deposit online through McDaniel Supply Company (jailpackstore.com)—just enter the inmate's name or ID, and you'll get an email receipt. Prefer to mail funds? The facility accepts USPS postal money orders, processed Monday–Friday (excluding holidays). Don't send cash through the mail. For the fastest posting, use the lobby kiosk or the online vendor.
