Direct Supervision

In 1992 it was opened to operate specifically as a direct supervision operation.  Each housing unit has an officer tasked explicitly with supervising and preventing potentially dangerous or inappropriate inmate behavior.  The facility and its staff strive to maintain a safe environment for everyone within the jail.

Inmates are transferred after their sentencing unless they receive sentences for less than 90 days.  Inmates whom the Family Court sentences will not be transferred and will be allowed to serve their sentence at the detention center. Additionally, inmates may be returned to the facility after being transferred to state custody under certain conditions.

To meet the requirements, an inmate must:

• Have no violent offenses
• Have no behavior violations during the incarceration
• Have ties to the Beaufort community
• Have no medical or mental health concerns
• Have a sentence no longer than ten years.

Beaufort Inmate Inquiry

The detention center offers an inmate lookup service to all members of the public through its official website. While no offender search tool is available on this website, the population lists can be sorted to help identify a specific inmate.

The system allows the user to lookup inmates booked within the last 72 hours or 90 days.  It also offers a list of inmates released for the past 15 days. Finally, the current population can be sorted by either the prisoner’s last name or booking date.

Beaufort County Detention Center also participates in the national VINE program through the State of South Carolina. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday.  Through this system, anyone who is a victim of a crime can register to receive information or be notified when specific custody status changes occur.

A victim may sign up to receive notifications by calling 1-866-727-2846 or visiting the VINE registration website. Once registration is complete, you will receive a telephone call or email notification whenever the specific inmate’s status changes.
