McCormick County Jail Roster Overview
No official McCormick County online jail roster, inmate search, booking search, or searchable county inmate portal was located in the researched official sources. The county detention page, sheriff page, county forms page, Sheriffs' Association listing, and Judicial Branch county page did not provide a public roster. That makes the McCormick County Detention Center the primary county custody source. The detention phone is (864) 852-0058, and detention administration can be reached at (864) 852-0070.
The county jail is different from state prison custody. A person sentenced to and housed by the South Carolina Department of Corrections may appear in the SCDC inmate locator, but that system does not cover people sentenced to county detention facilities, people released from SCDC, juvenile offenders, or people under parole, probation, or community supervision. Court charge and bond details may appear separately in McCormick County arrest records and charges.
The McCormick County Detention Center source is the local starting point for county custody contacts and facility rules.
This county source supports the phone-first approach because it does not publish a searchable online McCormick County jail roster.
How to Check McCormick County Inmate Records
Without a public county roster portal, a McCormick County inmate search should follow a custody-source chain. Start with the detention center for current county custody, then use the sheriff records/support route if the question is tied to an arrest, warrant service, victim services, or law-enforcement record. Use the court index only after charges or bond events are filed with the court.
- Call McCormick County Detention Center at (864) 852-0058 for current county custody questions.
- Call detention administration at (864) 852-0070 for facility administration, PREA reporting, or mail and visitation routing.
- Contact the McCormick County Sheriff's Office at (864) 465-2520 for records/support questions tied to arrest or sheriff services.
- Use SCDC only if the person is a sentenced state-prison inmate, not a local jail detainee.
- Use SC VINE for custody notification, not for a complete county booking roster.
McCormick County Inmate Search Fields
The only county jail roster field table supported by the research is a negative finding: no official county portal fields were found. The SCDC locator has search fields for state-prison inmates, so the table separates the county custody route from the state-prison lookup route.
| Portal or Channel | Field Label | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| McCormick County jail roster | N/A | N/A | No official online county inmate search was located. |
| Detention Center phone | Person name or identifying details | As requested by staff | Use for current county detention questions. |
| SCDC inmate locator | SCDC number or SID | Optional if known | Useful for sentenced state-prison inmates. |
| SCDC inmate locator | First name and last name | Optional if ID known | Used when SCDC or SID number is unknown. |
| SC VINE | Custody notification search | Varies by service flow | Provides custody information and automated notifications. |
What McCormick County Inmate Records Show
A county inmate record is not the same as a full criminal court file. County custody information may confirm whether a person is detained, where the person is housed, how to schedule video visitation, and whether mail or funds can be sent. Court records provide filed charges, hearings, bonds, pleas, dispositions, and sentencing after the matter enters the court system. For active warrant questions, use the sheriff or court route described on the McCormick County warrant search page.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and Identifier | The person being held or searched, plus any booking or sheriff's office number if staff provides it. |
| Custody Location | Whether the person is in McCormick County Detention Center or a separate state facility. |
| Charges or Case Link | Charge information may require court records or sheriff records rather than a jail roster. |
| Bond or Court Date | Bond and hearing details may come from Magistrate, Bond Court, or Public Index entries. |
| Visitation Status | Whether the person can receive scheduled NCIC video visits after visitor approval. |
| Mail and Funds | Facility rules for scanned mail, legal mail, money orders, kiosk deposits, and commissary. |
McCormick County Jail Facilities
McCormick County has a local detention center and also has a state prison within the county. The local detention center handles county jail custody. McCormick Correctional Institution is a South Carolina Department of Corrections facility, not the county jail. Mixing the two can lead to wrong search results, wrong visitation rules, or wrong mail addresses.
McCormick County Detention Center
141 Cecil Wall Circle
McCormick, SC 29835
(864) 852-0058
Video visitation only through NCIC; no in-person visits listed.
McCormick Correctional Institution
386 Redemption Way
McCormick, SC 29899
(864) 443-2114 or (803) 734-0330
State prison for close-security male custody.
The SCDC institutions source distinguishes McCormick Correctional Institution from the county detention center.
That distinction matters because SCDC facility information is not a McCormick County jail roster.
Booking and Court Status in McCormick County
Booking information can lead to several different public-record paths. Detention staff can address current custody. The Sheriff's Office Support Services page lists Records, Victim Services, Criminal Investigations, Warrant Service, Civil Process, Courthouse Security, and related functions. Bond Court and Magistrate Court can be involved in early hearings, bond settings, and preliminary matters. General Sessions court records and later criminal case history are separate from the jail's custody information.
The county detention center is led by Division Commander Major Marvin Williams, and the research lists Jail Administrator Tyraneshia Lomax. PREA reports may be made by mail to 141 Cecil Wall Circle, by calling (864) 852-0070, or through Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC / 1-888-247-6372.
SCDC State Inmate Search for McCormick County
The SCDC inmate search disclaimer source explains the scope of South Carolina's state-prison lookup.
SCDC states that the locator displays public information for inmates currently sentenced to and incarcerated in SCDC as of midnight the previous day.
The SCDC inmate search portal source is the direct state lookup for sentenced state-prison inmates.
The state portal does not replace the McCormick County Detention Center phone route for county jail detainees.
SCDC does not provide information for released offenders, county detention sentences, parole or probation supervision, juvenile offenders, or current SCDC fugitives. The SCDC inmate information line is 1-866-727-2846, and data discrepancy questions may be sent to Ombudsman@doc.sc.gov.
McCormick County Inmate Visitation
McCormick County Detention Center research shows video visitation only. In-person visits are not offered. Visitors must create an NCIC account, request to be a visitor at the McCormick facility, submit required information, and wait for approval. The county says users need separate accounts for video visitation and messaging. Remote visitation is monitored and recorded at all times.
| Visitation Item | McCormick County Detail |
|---|---|
| Visit method | Video visitation only through NCIC. |
| Scheduling | Must be scheduled in advance. |
| Free visit allowance | All inmates allowed one free visit per week. |
| Video rate | $0.30 per minute. |
| Messaging rate | $0.26 per message. |
The SCDC family information source is relevant for state-prison family resources, not county jail video scheduling.
County detention visitation still follows McCormick County's NCIC video process rather than SCDC family-service rules.
McCormick County Inmate Mail Rules
Current or legacy physical mail was listed as McCormick County Detention Center, Inmate Name and Inmate ID Number, 141 Cecil Wall Circle, McCormick, SC 29835. The detention rules require a complete and legible return address with the sender's first and last name. Cash, personal checks, contraband, nude or partially clothed photos, books, magazines, publications, glitter, glue, tape, 3D elements, electronic parts, and prohibited content are not allowed.
Effective April 2, 2026, the county mail scanning process requires inmate mail to go to PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606, with inmate name, sheriff's office booking number, and return address. Mail cannot exceed 8.5 by 11 inches, cannot exceed five pages, cannot have writing on backs of pages, and may include only one photo. Legal and medical mail must not go to the scanning address and should be sent to 141 Cecil Wall Circle.
McCormick County Custody Notifications
SC VINE provides custody information and automated notifications. The Attorney General and SCDC announcement says SC-VINE covers county detention centers, state prisons, probation, and parole. Notification channels include phone, email, text, TTY, and in-app notifications through VINELink. The VINELink app is for custody notification and should not be described as a sheriff app, police app, roster app, or warrant app.
The South Carolina VINE source is the custody notification route for McCormick County custody changes.
VINE helps with notification, but it does not create an official McCormick County online jail roster.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
McCormick County inmates may order commissary once weekly. Items can include hygiene products, clothing items, writing materials, and snacks. Orders are due Wednesday at 8:00 a.m., with delivery Thursday morning. The lobby kiosk accepts cash, credit cards, and debit cards, with a $3.00 service fee. U.S. Postal Service money orders are accepted when made payable to Detention Center, with the inmate name in the memo or account line. Online store access is through JailPackStore, and service fees may apply.
Medical, dental, and mental-health services are requested by kiosk sick-call request. Medical request copay is $5.00, prescription refills are $3.00 per medication, and over-the-counter medication is $1.00 per pack. NCIC mobile tools may be used for video visitation, messaging, funds, notifications, photos, and video messages, but they are not a county jail roster or law-enforcement records app.
