The Sheriff’s Office explains that its inmate-population and booked-and-released resources are intended to help identify current jail inmates and may include bail amounts and booking details. Jail information can change quickly, so verify time-sensitive information before visiting the facility or making a payment.
What You May Find in a Jail Record
Depending on the inmate’s current status and the information available through the county system, a booking record may show the person’s identity, booking information, charges and bail amount.
A jail record and a court record serve different purposes. Jail information concerns custody and booking. Court records are more useful when you need hearings, criminal-case activity or the final case outcome.
If the Person Does Not Appear
Search South Carolina State Prison Records
If the person has already been sentenced to South Carolina state-prison custody, use the official South Carolina Department of Corrections inmate search instead of the county jail roster.
- Open the SCDC Inmate Search.
- Review the inmate-search disclaimer.
- Continue to the search and enter the available identifying information.
- Compare the returned identity carefully before relying on the record.
SCDC states that its online search covers people currently sentenced to and incarcerated in the South Carolina Department of Corrections. It does not provide records for people sentenced to county detention facilities or people already released from SCDC custody.
Check the Criminal Court Case
Spartanburg County is in South Carolina’s 7th Judicial Circuit. If you found a booking and need the related court case, use the official South Carolina Judicial Branch records.
- Open the official Spartanburg County court page.
- Select the Case Records Search option.
- Follow the Judicial Branch search instructions.
- Search for the defendant and compare the case details with the jail record.
The Spartanburg County Courthouse is located at 180 Magnolia Street, Spartanburg, SC 29306.
Bond and Release Information
Spartanburg County magistrates handle many initial bond proceedings for people booked into county custody. During this process, the accused is advised of the charges and the court considers whether release should be allowed and under what conditions.
The amount and type of bond depend on the case and the judge’s order. Jail employees cannot simply change a court-ordered bond. When bond information is time-sensitive, confirm it through the current jail or court record instead of relying on an older third-party listing.
Official Bail InformationVisiting a Spartanburg County Inmate
The detention facility uses scheduled visitation. The Sheriff’s current policy generally provides an eligible inmate with two 30-minute visitation time slots per week and one available paid remote visit of 20 or 40 minutes, unless visitation privileges have been restricted.
Because visitation can be affected by security, court, medical or inmate-status issues, check the current policy before scheduling or traveling.
Current Visitation PolicyHow to Send Money to an Inmate
The Sheriff’s Office provides several approved ways to add funds to an inmate account.
The lobby kiosk is listed as available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Sheriff’s Office currently states that fees apply to deposits, so review the charge before completing a transaction.
Official Money Deposit RulesInmate Phone Calls
Spartanburg County provides inmate telephone access through a contracted provider. The Sheriff’s current telephone page identifies SmartInmate as the provider.
After admission, an inmate is offered an opportunity to make an initial free local call. Later calls use the facility’s telephone system and may be recorded or monitored for security purposes.
