Use the list below to route the request by record type, because county jail, court, state prison, federal, and immigration systems do not share one public database.
- For someone held in the county jail, use jail inmate records, the FCSO booking portal, the FCSO inmate feed, or the booking desk at 843-665-9944.
- For booking photos shown with Florence County jail entries, use jail roster mugshots and the FCSO roster or FOIA path.
- For charges and case activity after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Florence County Public Index.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Florence County Detention Center or Palmer Pre-Release Center pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced South Carolina prisoner, use the SCDC locator at doc.sc.gov/inmate-search-disclaimer; Palmer Pre-Release Center can be reached at (843) 661-4770 or (803) 734-9487.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator at bop.gov/inmateloc or ICE ODLS at locator.ice.gov/odls.
