Florence County Released Inmates is a private reference, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record for those services.


Florence Record Contacts

Choose the office by custody type and by the fact you need confirmed. For local jail status or a Florence County booking release, start with the Sheriff's Office or detention center. The detention center is at 6719 Friendfield Road, Effingham, SC 29541. Call the Sheriff at 843-665-2121 or the detention center at 843-665-9944. The Sheriff's FOIA page and official request form are the routes for Sheriff's records. No records-unit business hours were verified, so call before visiting.

Use the SCDC address for a state-prison release or Palmer Pre-Release Center record, not for a Florence County jail booking. The Effingham Magistrate office shares the Friendfield Road location. It can be reached at 843-665-6690 or 843-665-9091, with published weekday hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For circuit-court case records, the Florence County Clerk of Court is at 181 N. Irby Street, Florence, SC, telephone 843-665-3031. The local SCDPPPS office handles probation and parole questions at 843-665-3063.

Use these routes according to the question:

  • For a released person or release record, begin with the Florence County search and records path, then contact the Sheriff if the portal does not resolve it.
  • For supervision after release, consult the SCDPPPS Florence County office and its official offender search.
  • For the newest county-jail exits, use the official Sheriff's Released mode and its day-count control.
  • For a projected state release or notification, use the SCDC release-date route or SC VINE, based on which agency holds custody.
  • For a specific facility, use the Florence County Detention Center or Palmer Pre-Release Center page listed below.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use SCDC's current-inmate or released-inmate system and its official records process.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator rather than the Florence jail portal.
