Fairfield County Jail Roster Access
The research did not locate an official Fairfield County online jail roster or county inmate lookup on fairfieldsc.com. The practical local inmate search path is direct contact with the Fairfield County Detention Center. The facility address is 10 Faith Lane, Winnsboro, SC 29180. Main Detention Center phone channels are 803-635-4841 and 803-635-2013, with Inmate Booking at 803-815-4093 and Central Control at 803-635-4841.
The Detention Center is the county jail source for recent custody, booking, bond-hearing coordination, and facility rules. SCDC is separate and covers people sentenced to and incarcerated in state prison. VINE is a notification tool. Those three channels answer different Fairfield County inmate record questions, so a person in county custody may not appear in the state prison search, and a state inmate may no longer be in Fairfield County jail.
The official Fairfield County Detention Center page provides the local jail contact source.
That source is the starting point for Fairfield County inmate search questions when no public county roster is posted.
How to Search Fairfield County Inmates
Because a county jail roster was not found, the search steps are built around the available official channels. Use the Detention Center for current local custody, SCDC for state-prison custody, and VINE for custody notifications. If the inmate question is tied to a court charge, bond condition, or bench warrant, court records may also need to be checked through Magistrate Court, Municipal Court, or the Fairfield Public Index.
- For a recent arrest or booking, call Inmate Booking at 803-815-4093 or Central Control at 803-635-4841.
- For general Detention Center questions, call 803-635-4841 or 803-635-2013 during posted office hours.
- For a person sentenced to state prison, search the SCDC public inmate system by SCDC ID, SID, first name, or last name.
- For custody-change alerts, use South Carolina VINE or the VINELink app where the agency participates.
- For bond times and court source, use the detention bond-hearing schedule and the issuing law enforcement agency.
Note: The county's stale 2022-2023 bond agency PDF should not be treated as a current bondsman list without Detention Center confirmation.
Fairfield County Inmate Facility
Fairfield County has one Detention Center facility identified in the research. The county lists office hours as Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM. Director Alvin Graber is listed with phone 803-718-3230. The county news item says he was welcomed as Detention Center Director in May 2026 and brought 28 years of SCDC experience, most recently as Associate Warden at Goodman Correctional Institution.
Fairfield County Detention Center
10 Faith Lane
Winnsboro, SC 29180
803-635-4841 or 803-635-2013
Inmate Booking: 803-815-4093
Central Control: 803-635-4841
Office hours: Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM
No current official county jail capacity was found. The research also notes an address inconsistency in county material, but the custody contact block supports 10 Faith Lane as the safer detention contact address.
Fairfield County Inmate Search Fields
No official Fairfield County online roster search-field list was captured because no county roster was found. The usable searchable field table comes from the statewide SCDC inmate search. It is useful only for state-prison inmates, not for county jail detainees, people released from SCDC, or people under parole, probation, or community supervision.
This distinction matters for Fairfield County inmate records. A person held before trial, waiting on bond, serving a short county sentence, or recently booked by a local agency is normally a Detention Center question. A person already sentenced to the South Carolina Department of Corrections is a state-prison search question. When the name is common or the custody path is unclear, use the Detention Center first for current local custody and then use SCDC only for sentenced state custody.
| Field label | Type | Required | Options or notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCDC ID | Text | Optional | Numeric validation applies. |
| SID | Text | Optional | Accepts numeric or SID beginning with SC. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Name search. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Name search. |
| Phonetic Match | Toggle | Optional | Allows phonetic name matching. |
The SCDC source is limited because it excludes county-detention sentences, released SCDC offenders, juvenile offenders housed with SCDC, and current SCDC fugitives.
Fairfield County Inmate Record Fields
Since no official Fairfield County inmate profile sample was located, the field inventory below comes from SCDC public search results and detail pages. These fields should not be read as a county jail roster format. They show what a state-prison inmate profile can return when a Fairfield County-related offender is in SCDC custody.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Photo and identity | Thumbnail photo, last name, first name, middle name, SCDC ID, sex, race, height, weight, and age. |
| Inmate description | Citizenship, build, complexion, hair color, eye color, and picture date when available. |
| Sentence and location | SCDC ID, SID, offender type, admission date, facility location, dorm-room-bunk, EWC, EEC, and release projections. |
| Current offenses | Offense, sentence type, term length, county, start date, violent or nonviolent flag, category, indictment, and status. |
| Movement and conduct | Escapes, disciplinary sanctions, movement records, credits, certificates, and programs. |
The SCDC inmate-search disclaimer explains that the state data covers people incarcerated in SCDC as of midnight the previous day.
That disclaimer is important because a Fairfield County jail detainee may not be in SCDC custody at all.
Fairfield County Inmate Visitation
Fairfield County Detention Center provides inmate visitation five days per week. Inmates are allowed one 30-minute visit per week by appointment only, and visiting times vary by classification. Visits may be monitored and recorded. Visitation booths can accommodate up to three visitors at a time. Money, food, and clothes for inmates are prohibited, while medications or special medical equipment prescribed by a physician may be accepted with facility medical staff approval.
| Inmate classification | Days | Time or length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-sentenced inmates | Monday-Friday | 30 minutes | Appointment only. |
| Administrative Segregation / Protective Custody | Friday | 30 minutes | Appointment only. |
| Sentenced male inmates | Saturday-Sunday | 1:00 PM-4:00 PM | One weekly visit rule still applies. |
| Sentenced female inmates | Saturday-Sunday | 9:00 AM-12:00 PM | One weekly visit rule still applies. |
The Fairfield Detention Center visitation page is the source for appointment, classification, and visitor rules.
The visitation rules are part of Fairfield County inmate records research because they identify how family contact works after booking.
Fairfield County Inmate Bond Hearings
Bond hearings connect inmate custody to court records. The Fairfield Magistrate page states that bond proceedings advise defendants of charges and rights, and bond is set. The Detention Center bond-hearing schedule separates Winnsboro Department of Public Safety charges from charges issued by all other law enforcement agencies in Fairfield County.
The issuing agency can point to the court path. Winnsboro Department of Public Safety charges use the detention bond schedule tied to that agency, while other Fairfield County agencies use the separate detention schedule. After bond is set, related court records may appear with Magistrate Court, Winnsboro Municipal Court, or Circuit Court depending on the charge level and later prosecution steps.
| Charges issued by | Bond hearing location | Times |
|---|---|---|
| Winnsboro Department of Public Safety | Detention Center | 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, seven days a week. |
| All other law enforcement agencies in Fairfield County | Detention Center | 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, seven days a week. |
The Detention Center bond hearing schedule is the source for the agency-based hearing times.
Bond-hearing times help connect a Fairfield County inmate search to the court that will handle release conditions.
Fairfield County VINE Notifications
South Carolina VINE provides free, secure, confidential access to custody status, criminal-case information, and service providers where available. The VINELink iOS and Android app listings say the app provides access to VINE 24/7/365, offender custody status from participating agencies, and custody-change notifications by in-app notification, phone, email, text, or TTY where available. It is not a Fairfield County Sheriff app.
VINE should be used as a notification service, not as proof that the county jail has a public roster. If a current custody question is urgent, the Detention Center phone channels remain the local source. If the person is a state-prison inmate, SCDC is the correct search channel.
For Fairfield County inmate search work, VINE is most useful after a person has been found in a participating custody system and the user needs notice of a custody change. The research did not expose detailed South Carolina VINELink web search fields in static source, so the page should not promise a county-specific VINE roster or a full booking database.
Fairfield County Jail Contact Limits
Official county detention pages reviewed in the research did not publish detailed inmate mail rules, money deposit channels, commissary vendor, phone provider, video visitation vendor, tablet program, mail scanning policy, prohibited mail list, or pricing. The county news material says FCDC responsibilities include detainee processing, detainee commissary, detainee labor force, transportation, custody of pretrial and sentenced detainees, medical care, food services, and incarceration records, but it does not provide account instructions.
For mail, money, phone, commissary, or video-visit questions, use the Detention Center phone channels before sending funds or items. Facility rules can change faster than court records, and the research did not support a public vendor list. Former detainees seeking visitation reinstatement may make a written request or use the county form, but immediate family limits and victim restrictions apply.
That same caution applies to third-party jail-search claims. The official Fairfield County research path is the county Detention Center, the Sheriff's Office where law-enforcement records are involved, SCDC for state-prison custody, and VINE for notifications. A site that lists a roster without being linked from the county or state source should be checked against the official phone channels before anyone relies on it for a court date, release status, or bond decision.
