South Carolina Department of Corrections

SCDC is the South Carolina Department of Corrections. The SCDC has 23,000 inmates in 28 institutions. With an SCDC inmate search, a person can find detailed information on anyone incarcerated in the South Carolina Department of Corrections. This is useful for the general public but also the inmate's family and friends, as well as any victims. Victims may find it useful to know the current status of an inmate, it is recommended that victims preform frequent SCDC inmate searches.

Each state varies as far as what information it provides in its inmate searches. SCDC inmate searches feature photographs as well as public information such as sentencing and location. Some states will provide information on inmates released from custody, however SCDC does not. It is not possible to find any information on released inmates, parolee's, probationer's, or those on community service within the SCDC inmate search tool. Information about juvenile delinquents is not available to the public therefore, that kind of information will never be found on the SCDC inmate search tool. It is also not possible to find inmates that are currently fugitives from the SCDC. To find out information about those inmates a more extensive search would have to be performed by using a national inmate search tool.

The best way to search for an inmate on the SCDC inmate search tool is to search by the inmates SCDC number or their state identification number. In either number are unknown. Instead of searching for the name of the inmate. It is required that at least enter the inmate's last name is entered into the search field. The first name is optional; however the return search will be a lot more successful and accurate if a first name is provided. If the exact spelling of the inmates name is unknown, click on the phonetic match button. The system will then return matches with similar sounded names as well as names that are similarly spelt. After the search criteria is entered in, select the correct inmate that the search is being performed on from the list of possible inmates displayed. At that time it is possible to review the inmate's information including a photograph.

If there is a need to search for an inmate that is not currently in the SCDC inmate search tool but used to be, then a person may want to consider using a nationwide inmate search tool like Las Vegas Inmate Search.
