Need to send paperwork by fax? The fax number is 803-436-2428.
Staff are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Calling during these hours gives you the best shot at getting your question answered or routed to the right person.
Visiting hours run Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call ahead if you're unsure about timing - you don't want to make the trip only to find out you missed the window.
Calling about someone's housing, booking status, or custody situation? Start with the main phone number. Have the person's full name and any identifying details ready. Keep your questions short and specific - ask to confirm their status and what the next step is. If staff can't share certain details over the phone, they'll usually tell you what they can confirm and point you toward the next step.
Note: Trying to remove sensitive numbers from court or public-record indexes? That's handled through a written redaction process with the courts - not through the detention center. Make sure you're contacting the right office for the record you need to fix.
