In Berkeley County, just like in the rest of the state, the local police department lets you find inmates. They might not have the scoop on those in state prisons, but they can spill the beans about folks in detention centers managed by their Corrections Division. Curious about how it works? Keep reading to uncover more details.
These jails can be found within Berkeley County and they are only used for prisoners who have not been convicted as yet, inmates who have not been released on bail and offenders who are serving prison terms of one year or less. So, when you ask the police to get a Berkeley County jail inmate search done for you, you are essentially telling them to open up the records of such offenders for you.
In contrast when a Berkeley County prison inmate search is started through the SC DOC (Department of Corrections), you are requesting that you be allowed access to the crime files of inmates who are held in all state prisons, correctional and rehabilitation centers and penitentiaries. Both agencies have user friendly inmate finder services available for the general public.
