Lookup Chesterfield County Detention Center Inmates

Chesterfield County Detention Center Overview

Chesterfield County Detention Center is the primary and only public adult jail facility located in the official Chesterfield County facility map research. The facility is operated through the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office and county detention-center structure. Official pages identify Sheriff Cambo Streater as the sheriff and list Director Troy Ellerbe for the Detention Center. The jail handles post-arrest intake and local confinement for the county rather than state-prison sentences.

The population held at Chesterfield County Detention Center includes adults recently arrested by the Sheriff's Office, municipal police departments, Highway Patrol, and other agencies when their charges are handled through local jail custody. It can also include people waiting for bond or first appearance, defendants with pending court cases, sentenced local inmates serving short terms, and people held for other agencies when the jail accepts a hold. Cheraw, Pageland, Jefferson, McBee, Mount Croghan, Ruby, and Chesterfield arrests may route into the county jail because no separate public city jail roster was located.

Chesterfield Detention Contact Information

The jail address and the Sheriff's administrative address should not be treated as the same office. Current custody, recent bookings, visitation questions, booking-report access, and jail-record questions should start with the Detention Center. General Sheriff's Office routing can use the Watson Street administrative office.

Chesterfield Facility Capacity Notes

Capacity and daily population require careful wording because official jail pages did not publish a current capacity dashboard, annual booking report, daily-count archive, average length of stay, or demographic table during the research sweep. Recent 2024-2025 local reporting described the jail as rated by the South Carolina Department of Corrections for 145 inmates and reported counts above that level. Older county-facing references described the facility as housing up to 95 inmates, so that lower figure should be treated as historical or conflicting unless the county confirms it.

The best public count for a given day is the live roster if it shows a current total, but that count should be treated as a point-in-time custody snapshot. A daily roster number is not the same as average daily population, annual bookings, jail incarceration rate, or a demographic breakdown.

Lookup Chesterfield Detention Inmates

Use the Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements roster for people believed to be in Chesterfield County Detention Center now. The roster is the local jail lookup, not the SCDC state prison locator. If a person has been sentenced and transferred to state prison, search the SCDC inmate search instead. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE systems rather than the county jail page.

1. Open the Citizen Connect roster for the Chesterfield County Detention Center agency.
2. Search by last name first, then add first name or spelling variants if needed.
3. Review the current-confinement result and confirm that the listed agency is the county detention center.
4. If the arrest may be recent, call (843) 623-3385 because booking records are not immediately available online.
5. For older arrest charges, search the Chesterfield County Public Index and compare court records against the booking information.

The broader Chesterfield County inmate records page covers the roster fields, SCDC, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and Public Index fallback chain in more detail.

Chesterfield Booking Records Access

The Sheriff's booking-records notice creates a practical three-channel model for the facility. Use Citizen Connect for current online confinement information. Call the Detention Center at (843) 623-3385 for possible arrests within the past 12 hours. Use the Chesterfield County Public Index for older arrest and court records, especially once charges have moved from jail booking status into bond court or criminal court records.

The same official notice also says people may visit Chesterfield County Detention Center at 319 Goodale Road during business hours and request to view booking reports within a specified timeframe. That does not mean every field in a booking file is public. South Carolina FOIA allows inspection or copying of non-exempt public records, but law-enforcement, privacy, juvenile, sealed, expunged, medical, victim, and security-sensitive details can be withheld.

Chesterfield Detention Visitation Schedule

Official sources did not publish a local visitation schedule, remote-video vendor, visitor approval rule, dress code, attorney-visit procedure, or visit length for Chesterfield County Detention Center. That finding should be handled plainly. Call the jail before travel, especially if the visit involves a child, a long drive, attorney access, mobility access, or a person whose custody status may have changed.

Note: Do not rely on a roster result alone before a visit because a court order, transfer, release, or lockdown can change access.

Chesterfield Jail Mail Phone Money

Chesterfield County did not publish a detailed inmate-mail format, phone provider, video platform, commissary vendor, online-deposit service, lobby kiosk rule, tablet program, or local fee table in the official source sweep. Do not invent vendors such as Securus, GTL, ViaPath, HomeWAV, Access Corrections, JailATM, or other deposit platforms unless the jail confirms them. Local jail rules and SCDC prison rules are separate.

Directions to Chesterfield Detention

The Sheriff's booking-records page gives unusually specific local driving directions to Chesterfield County Detention Center. From Cheraw, take SC 9 into Chesterfield town limits, turn left at the first light onto SC 102, then turn right at the fourth road onto Edwards Road. The notice says the road changes from two lanes to three lanes just before Edwards Road and advises using the far-right turn lane, then says the facility is on the left in about a mile.

From Pageland, take SC 9 into Chesterfield town limits, turn right at the second light onto SC 102, turn right at the fourth road onto Edwards Road, and continue about a mile. From McBee, take SC 145 into Chesterfield, turn right at the first light onto SC 9, then right at the first light onto SC 102, and right at the fourth road onto Edwards Road. The local note says Edwards Road becomes Goodale Road once it leaves the Chesterfield town limits.

Official sources did not publish visitor parking rates, visitor-lot rules, a transit route, locker rules, ADA entrance details, or a public-entry map. A call before arrival is the most reliable way to confirm where to park, what property to leave outside, and which entrance is used for booking-report requests or visits.

Transfers from Chesterfield Jail

Chesterfield County Detention Center is not an SCDC state prison. If a person is convicted and sentenced to state prison, the lookup moves from the county jail roster to SCDC after transfer. SCDC handles state-prison intake, classification, facility assignment, visitation approval, prison mail, phone access, deposits, and release or parole fields. That change can make a person disappear from the county roster even though they remain incarcerated.

Federal and immigration systems are also separate. The BOP inmate locator covers many sentenced federal prisoners and some former federal inmates released after 1982. Federal pretrial custody may sit with the U.S. Marshals Service before a person appears in BOP custody. ICE ODLS is the immigration detainee locator and requires an A-number and country of birth or biographical information. A county jail hold can delay release, but the hold must be verified with the jail and the agency that placed it.

Chesterfield Detention Conditions Context

Recent local reporting in 2024-2025 described Chesterfield County Detention Center as above its reported SCDC-rated capacity, with counts in the low-to-mid 150s against a 145-bed rating. That reporting is useful for capacity context, but it is not an official daily population dashboard. The county did not publish a consent decree, DOJ investigation, official jail reform plan, or new jail construction page in the accessible source sweep.

South Carolina Title 24, Chapter 9 establishes the state jail and prison inspection and minimum-standards framework relevant to county detention facilities. No detailed Chesterfield County program pages were located for GED, vocational, substance-abuse, religious services, inmate grievance, mental-health requests, work release, tablets, or reentry. Families should ask the Detention Center how inmates request medical care, mental-health help, grievance forms, or program access.
