Detention Center Information

While specific inmate search capabilities are not mentioned on their website, they may provide information upon request. You can find more details on the Dorchester County Detention Center page.

Alternative Search Methods

If you’re unable to find the information you need through the county’s official channels, there are other options:

1. South Carolina Department of Corrections: For state-level inmates, you can use the SCDC Incarcerated Inmate Search. This requires either the inmate’s SCDC number, State Identification (SID), or name.
