Spartanburg County Jail Roster Overview
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office homepage links a Bookings Search at mugshots.spartanburgsheriff.org. The Detention Services page says its inmate population and booked-and-released pages are intended to identify current jail inmates and can include bail amounts and booking details. The same official material warns that information can change quickly and may not always reflect latest status. It is public-awareness information, not a complete criminal-history report and not a final court outcome.
Research could not capture usable content from the booking portal in this environment, so no exact county jail search fields or county inmate-profile columns should be promised. The practical fallback is the Spartanburg County Detention Center front desk and the Sheriff's Records Section. Jail questions can go to the detention center, while police reports and official sheriff records belong with the records line. Formal county-held public-record requests can use county FOIA when the record is not controlled by a court-specific access rule.
How to Use Spartanburg County Inmate Search
Start with the county Bookings Search for people who may be in current local custody. If the site does not load, produces no usable result, or the person has been transferred, use the detention center phone fallback before assuming there is no custody record. For sentenced state-prison custody, use SCDC. For notifications, use VINE or VINELink. For sex-offender registry information, use SLED SORT after its terms and captcha entry.
- Open the sheriff Bookings Search from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office homepage when current county jail custody is the issue.
- If the portal is unavailable, call the Spartanburg County Detention Center front desk at 864-596-2607 or the county detention page phone at 864-596-3424.
- For a person sentenced to state prison, search the SCDC public inmate application instead of the county jail roster.
- Use VINE or VINELink when custody-status notification is the need, especially after bond, release, escape, or transfer concerns.
- Use Sheriff's Records at 864-503-4550 for sheriff reports or official sheriff records, and gather the case number, incident date, people involved, and nature of the incident before calling.
When an arrest, charge, or warrant may have led to custody, jail data should be compared with the court case and warrant channels. A booking can exist before the solicitor's final charging decision appears in Spartanburg County arrest records and charges.
Spartanburg County Inmate Search Fields
The county booking portal did not return enough content during research to verify its public search fields. The table below uses the confirmed SCDC state-prison search fields because that portal had a captured field inventory. It is labeled as SCDC, not as the Spartanburg County jail roster. Use it when the person may be in state prison after sentencing, not when the person may be newly booked into the county detention center.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCDC ID | Text | Optional | State prison inmate identifier. |
| SID | Text | Optional | State identification number. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Name search. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Name search. |
| Phonetic Match | Toggle | Optional | Enables phonetic matching. |
| Projected Release Date Start | Date | Optional | Advanced search date filter. |
| Projected Release Date End | Date | Optional | Advanced search date filter. |
The SCDC public inmate search application is the official state-prison search tool for sentenced inmates in SCDC custody.
Spartanburg County Inmate Profile Fields
No county jail sample profile was safely captured from the official booking portal. The confirmed field inventory below is from SCDC sentenced-inmate data. It can help identify the kind of information a state-prison profile may show, but it should not be read as a list of Spartanburg County jail roster fields. The county detention page confirms only that county inmate population pages aim to identify current jail inmates and include bail amounts and booking details.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| SCDC ID and SID | State inmate and state identification numbers. |
| Name and demographics | First, middle, last name, sex, race, age, date of birth, and physical descriptors. |
| Admission and institution | Admit date, current institution, and sentence type. |
| Offense and offense county | The offense recorded by SCDC and the county tied to that offense. |
| Release and hearing dates | Projected maxout date, initial parole date, or next hearing date when present. |
| Sentence details | Sentence years, months, days, and sentence start date. |
| Photo and flags | Thumbnail/photo, picture date, sex-offender flag, FBI number, and phonetic-match flag where present. |
The SCDC inmate search disclaimer explains that the state search covers current SCDC inmates as of the previous midnight and excludes released offenders, county detention facility sentences, probation, parole, community supervision, juvenile offenders, and current SCDC fugitives.
Spartanburg County Detention Center
The Spartanburg County Detention Center is the local custody facility for people arrested locally, awaiting bond, awaiting trial, serving short or local detention sentences, held on warrants, or otherwise held under local authority. Official capacity was not located in the sheriff or county pages reviewed, so no capacity figure is used. SCDC is separate. A person can begin in the county jail and later move out of the county booking population after transfer to state prison.
Spartanburg County Detention Center
950 California Avenue
Spartanburg, SC 29303
Front desk: 864-596-2607
County detention phone: 864-596-3424
Fax: 864-596-3426
Hours: 24/7

Records hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Requesters should have the case number, incident date, people involved, and nature of the incident ready before calling.
Booking and Bond in Spartanburg County
Jail booking information may show a charge before the solicitor has made a final charging decision in General Sessions. Bail amounts and booking details may appear in county jail pages, but the sheriff's detention material warns that data can change quickly. That makes inmate records useful for custody and bond context, but not for final criminal-history conclusions. A release, bond change, dismissed charge, amended charge, or later court ruling can change the meaning of the jail entry.
A person with a new charge or warrant may have a bond hearing at the detention facility before a case is fully visible in the Public Index. Bond proceedings are usually listed at 11:00 a.m., 6:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m., midnight, and later as needed. Victims may attend or advise, and SAVIN/VINE can support release or escape notifications where available.
Spartanburg County Inmate Visitation
Spartanburg County inmate visitation is scheduled through Securus, and visitors must be registered and approved. The official visitation material does not support a walk-in assumption. Visitors should arrive early, bring required identification unless the visitor is a small child, and expect search rules. Weapons and contraband are prohibited. Children are limited to immediate family, a maximum of two children can visit without prior approval, children count toward approved visitors, and a parent or legal guardian must be present.
| Visit Type | Schedule / Allowance | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Regular video visitation | Two 30-minute time slots per week, as available | Schedule through Securus; visitor must be registered and approved. |
| Paid remote visit | One paid remote 20- or 40-minute visit, as available | Schedule through Securus and follow facility restrictions. |
| Children | Immediate family only; max two without prior approval | Children count toward approved visitors and require parent or legal guardian. |
| Visitor conduct | Arrive early and expect search | Weapons and contraband are prohibited. |
Note: The reviewed visitation text had inconsistent arrival wording, so "arrive early" is the most accurate phrasing unless the jail verifies a specific time.
Spartanburg County Inmate Mail and Calls
Regular inmate mail and legal mail use different routes. Regular inmate mail goes to Spartanburg County Detention Center, inmate name and name number, PO Box 9133, Seminole, FL 33775, where it is scanned and viewed digitally. Legal or privileged mail goes to the inmate's name at 950 California Ave, Spartanburg, SC 29303. Privileged categories include law enforcement, court officials, attorneys, legal representation groups, ACLU or prisoner-rights groups, PREA, mental health, victim advocates, and government officials.
Text messages and photos use SmartInmate, with listed rates of $0.50 per text and $1.00 for pictures. Books must be new paperback books fulfilled by Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Used, hardcover, leather, thread-bound, sexually oriented, inflammatory, security-threatening, or violence and illegal-action advocacy materials are excluded. Inmates may receive or place calls through Securus. The initial free local call after admission is an intake rule, not an unlimited free-call policy. Later calls are collect unless the inmate buys phone time from the canteen kiosk with a PIN. Calls are recorded and monitored.
Unwanted or threatening calls should not be accepted and should be reported to local law enforcement. The jail can block a number, but the reviewed material cautions that unblocking may not be possible later.
Spartanburg County Inmate Money
Money can be deposited through the lobby kiosk at the main jail, online through jailpackstore.com, or by USPS money order. The lobby kiosk at 950 California Ave accepts cash, credit, and debit 24/7. Cash deposits have a $3 transaction fee deducted, while credit and debit deductions vary by transaction. Online deposits use McDaniel Supply Company and require the inmate name or inmate ID, with receipt by email. USPS money orders post Monday through Friday excluding holidays, and no cash may be mailed.
Money-order mail has a strict content rule. Only U.S. Postal Money Orders are accepted, and the inmate name and inmate number should be included. If letters or photos are placed inside the money-order envelope, all contents are returned. Visitors generally may not leave property for inmates, except money deposits at the kiosk, so clothing, letters, books, or cash should not be brought to staff during a visit.
Spartanburg County Custody Notifications
VINE and VINELink are notification tools, not a substitute for the county jail roster or SCDC search. They can provide custody status information and notifications by app, phone, email, text, or TTY where available. Use them when release, transfer, escape, or status alerts matter. The sheriff bail page links statewide victim notification, and the South Carolina VINELink portal is available for public custody-notification access.
The VINELink South Carolina portal is one custody-notification channel for Spartanburg County inmate records users who need status alerts.
The SLED sex offender registry is a separate public-safety registry. It offers geographic search, name search, community notifications, multiple offender photos over time, residence mapping, aliases, sexually related convictions, and updates to the national registry. The registry contact listed in research is SLED Registry, P.O. Box 21398, Columbia, SC 29210, phone 803-896-2601, fax 803-896-2311, and email sor@sled.sc.gov.
The SLED SORT registry entry is the official South Carolina sex-offender search path after terms and captcha access.
