Sumter Jail and Sheriff Records
For an immediate county-custody question, contact the Sumter County Sheriff's Office Detention Center at 1250 Winkles Road, Sumter, SC 29153, or call 803-436-2340. Public hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mail for the Sheriff's office may be sent to P.O. Box 430, Sumter, SC 29151. A written release or booking request belongs with the Sheriff's Legal Division through its official FOIA form or stated mailing route.
Use the office that matches the record:
- For a named released person and county release record, begin with the Sumter County release search and request path.
- For parole, probation, or another community-control category, use the post-release supervision route and the DPPPS Sumter office at 20 N. Magnolia Street, 803-778-5185.
- For a recent county window, follow the 24-hour release fallback; no official rolling county feed was verified.
- For a calculated date or alert, use the release date lookup and VINE inmate check.
- For a specific facility, choose its page from the Facilities column below before calling.
- For an SCDC sentence, call SCDC Inmate Records at 803-896-8531 or the public inmate/VINE line at 1-866-727-2846. SCDC mail goes to P.O. Box 21787, Columbia, SC 29221-1787.
- For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE rather than the county or SCDC tools.
