Kershaw County Jail Roster Search
The Kershaw County Detention Center uses the Zuercher/CentralSquare public roster linked by both county and sheriff materials. The county also has an inmate-search redirect that sends users to the same roster. This roster is built for current local custody. It can help answer whether a person is housed at the Kershaw County Detention Center and what public hold information is visible, but it does not replace a court file, official disposition, incident report, or state-prison search.
A key local point is jurisdiction. The sheriff's detention page says the Kershaw County Detention Center is not under the jurisdiction of the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office, even though the sheriff site links to the jail and inmate list. The Detention Center sits under county Safety and Emergency Services. The Sheriff's Office remains the correct route for sheriff incident reports and FOIA records, while the Detention Center is the source for custody, visitation, bond-hearing, and inmate-money questions.
The official Kershaw inmate roster portal is the public search tool linked by county and sheriff pages.
The roster gives Kershaw County inmate records a current-custody starting point before a user checks court, SCDC, or FOIA channels.
Use the Kershaw County Inmate Roster
The roster can be searched by name and filtered with fields that were visible during the research sweep. A name search is usually the fastest path. Filters can narrow matches when names are common, but the public roster should still be read as a custody snapshot. Released offenders may no longer appear, and juvenile data or internal jail-management details may be restricted.
- Open the Kershaw inmate roster through the county inmate-search redirect or the direct Zuercher portal.
- Enter the person's name, or use the race, sex, or arrest-date filters if needed.
- Review visible roster results for mugshot, name, race, sex, age, and arrest date.
- Open the public profile or hold information when available to check agency, charge, warrant, ticket, bond, or judge fields.
- Verify charge status, case outcome, and warrant status with the court or agency that controls the case.
Kershaw County Inmate Search Fields
The public Kershaw County inmate search does not require every field. It allows a broad name search and filters that help narrow a current roster. The research did not confirm exact dropdown values for race or sex, so those should be treated as filters, not proof of every option available in the live interface.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Optional | Search current roster by inmate name. |
| Race | Filter/dropdown | Optional | Race filter is exposed, but exact options were not captured. |
| Sex | Filter/dropdown | Optional | Sex filter is exposed, but exact options were not captured. |
| Arrest Date | Date/date range | Optional | Filters roster records by arrest date. |
Kershaw County Inmate Profile Fields
A Kershaw County inmate profile can show more than the roster columns when hold reasons are available. Those hold reasons may include warrant, ticket, charge, agency, bond, or judge data. The public inspection did not confirm court dates, medical flags, protective-custody flags, suicide flags, or internal classification notes as public fields, so those should not be assumed available.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | A public image configured as a visible roster column. |
| Full name | The listed detainee name. |
| Race, sex, and age | Basic public descriptors; age is shown instead of full date of birth. |
| Arrest date | The date tied to the current booking or custody entry. |
| Cell block | A housing field returned internally where available. |
| Held for agency | The agency connected to the hold. |
| Hold reasons | Charge, warrant, ticket, or agency reasons for custody. |
| Release date | A release field returned where applicable. |
| Bond and judge | Bond type, amount, and judge when shown in hold reasons. |
Kershaw County Detention Center
The official county detention page lists one Kershaw County Detention Center for the roster and inmate-service rules reviewed. The facility address is also the mailing address for inmate-related mail and money-order information published in the detention FAQ. Facility capacity was not located in the official sources, so no capacity number should be added.
Kershaw County Detention Center
101 Bramblewood Plantation Road
Camden, SC 29020
803-425-1516
Office hours listed as 8:30 AM-5:00 PM Monday-Friday
Listed staff include Jermaine Gordon, Director; Yessia Reames, Captain of Security; Crystal Rufus-Robinson, Lieutenant of Security; and Chevonne Workman, Captain of Operations. Staff listings are useful for identifying the facility, but routine inmate roster questions should use the public roster or the detention phone line.
Kershaw County Booking Records
A Kershaw County arrest may involve a city police department, the Sheriff's Office, SLED, Highway Patrol, or another agency. If the person is booked into the Detention Center, the public custody record appears through the roster. The roster can show current custody, hold reasons, mugshot, age, race, sex, and arrest date, while the court case may later appear in Magistrate Court, Municipal Court, or General Sessions.
This split matters. Jail information answers whether the person is in local custody and what public hold reason is attached. The full criminal court file answers the filed charge, hearing history, plea, disposition, and sentence. Incident reports and sheriff records follow the KCSO FOIA process, not the jail roster. The court charge pathway is addressed separately in Kershaw County arrest records and charges.
Kershaw County Inmate Visitation
Visitation is by appointment only. The detention FAQ says visits are scheduled by calling 803-425-1516 option 2 during the weekday scheduling window.

Kershaw County Inmate Money
The detention FAQ gives three inmate-money channels. A lobby kiosk accepts cash or bank-issued debit and credit cards. Online deposits use the county-listed JailPackStore.com vendor. Mail deposits must be U.S. Postal Service money orders. The official research did not locate payment limits, vendor fees, or a commissary price list, so those details should be confirmed with the Detention Center before sending funds.
- Lobby kiosk - Cash or bank-issued debit/credit card.
- Online - County-listed vendor JailPackStore.com.
- Mail - U.S. Postal Service money orders only.
- Mailing address - 101 Bramblewood Plantation Road, Camden, SC 29020.
Detailed inmate mail formatting rules, banned mail items, scanned-mail policies, legal-mail rules, and indigent-mail policies were not found in the official Kershaw County pages reviewed.
Kershaw County Bond Hearings
The detention FAQ states that bond hearings for Magistrate and Municipal violations are held at the Detention Center. Camden City Judges have morning and afternoon blocks each day. County Magistrate Judges have weekday morning blocks and daily afternoon blocks. Hearing times can change, so the Detention Center directs users to call 803-425-1516 option 1 for more bond-hearing information.
- Camden City Judges - Sunday-Saturday, 7:30-8:00 AM and 3:30-4:30 PM.
- County Magistrate Judges - Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM.
- County Magistrate Judges - Sunday-Saturday, 4:00-5:00 PM.
Kershaw County Inmate Record Fallbacks
The county roster does not cover every custody status. The SCDC inmate-search disclaimer explains that state prison search covers inmates currently sentenced to and incarcerated in SCDC as of midnight the previous day. It does not cover released offenders, county detention inmates, parole, probation, community supervision, juveniles housed with SCDC, or current SCDC fugitives.
SCDC is the right fallback when a Kershaw County case resulted in a state-prison sentence rather than current county jail custody.
The SCDC public inmate search is the state portal for sentenced prison inmates.
Use the county roster for current local custody and the SCDC portal for state-prison custody after sentencing.
Custody notification is another separate channel. South Carolina VINELink may be used for custody searches and notifications when the relevant agency participates. It is not a Kershaw County jail roster replacement and does not provide the full court disposition. It is best used with the roster, court file, or SCDC search when a user needs notice of a custody change rather than a copy of a booking record.
The SLED sex-offender registry is also outside the jail roster. The Kershaw-specific entry point supports registry searches and community notification functions, but it is not a booking list, active warrant search, or General Sessions case file. Use it only when the question concerns sex-offender registration status.
Limits on Kershaw County Inmate Records
The Kershaw County inmate roster is current-custody oriented. Released offenders may disappear from public roster results. Juvenile data may be hidden or restricted. Medical, classification, protective custody, disciplinary, grievance, and internal jail-management records were not located as public fields. A hold reason can include warrant, ticket, bond, and charge details, but the court or agency that issued the record controls confirmation.
Sheriff incident reports follow a different route from Kershaw County inmate records. KCSO FOIA requests must be submitted in writing and should include case report number, incident address, incident date, full name, date of birth, and other details that help staff locate the record. KCSO fees include search, retrieval, and redaction time, plus set charges for incident reports, statements, and discs.
No official Kershaw County Sheriff mobile app, Camden Police app, or Elgin Police app was found for inmate lookup. City of Camden has a general Connect Camden SC civic app, but the research found it is for service requests, city issues, news, events, alerts, and push notifications. It is not a jail records app.
