Find Lexington County Inmates

Lexington County Jail Roster

The official county custody search is the Lexington County P2C inmate inquiry. It is linked from the Lexington County Sheriff's Department and is used for current detention information. The visible list fields observed in research include name, primary charge, arrest date, and booking agency. The underlying P2C payload also includes demographic fields, booking identifiers, race, sex, age, date of birth, charge description, and agency fields.

The P2C roster is not the final court record. A primary charge in the jail roster may later be amended, dismissed, indicted, reduced, or resolved in court. For filed criminal cases, use the Public Index, Solicitor, or Clerk path for the Lexington County criminal court record. For arrest-to-charge context, current custody data can support the court charge record, but it should not be read as a conviction.

The roster should also be read as a point-in-time custody tool. A person may disappear from the Lexington County inmate list after release, transfer, bond posting, state-prison transfer, or a hold by another agency. A person who is not found may still have a court date, warrant issue, or pending charge. The court file and custody file serve different jobs, and both may be needed when a family member is trying to understand what happened after arrest.

Note: P2C is a current county detention inquiry, not a statewide prison search or a complete historical arrest archive.

Search Lexington County Inmates

The fastest official search path is name-based. A last name alone may return multiple rows, so adding a first name can reduce false matches. The P2C grid also supports filtering by fields that are not all visible as plain search boxes, including race, sex, age, and booking agency. If no record appears, consider spelling, release, transfer, state prison custody, federal custody, or booking in another county.

1. Open the official Lexington County P2C inmate inquiry.
2. Enter a last name, first name, or both in the visible search fields.
3. Use Filter Inmate List if the result set is too broad.
4. Review name, primary charge, arrest date, and booking agency.
5. Use the row or detail function where available for more custody information.
6. Check SCDC or BOP if the person is not in county custody.

Lexington County Inmate Search Fields

The county P2C search has two simple public name fields plus an advanced grid filter. Research found optional fields rather than mandatory fields, so a user can begin broad and then narrow the list. The row count control changes how many matches display on the page.

Lexington County Inmate Profile Fields

The list view gives the most important public custody snapshot. The research also identified official P2C model fields from the portal payload. Some full detail screens are dynamic, so not every field is guaranteed to display for every user or every inmate record.

County Jail, SCDC, and BOP

Lexington County inmates in local pretrial or county detention custody belong in P2C. Sentenced state prisoners belong in the SCDC inmate search. Federal prisoners belong in the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. These systems do not replace one another because they cover different custody populations.

SCDC states its search excludes released offenders, county detention sentences, probation, parole, community supervision, juvenile offenders housed by SCDC, and current SCDC fugitives. SCDC also lists a toll-free inmate information line at 1-866-727-2846 and Ombudsman@doc.sc.gov for error reporting.

Federal custody is a separate path because the Bureau of Prisons is not part of the Lexington County Sheriff's Department or SCDC. The BOP locator can help when a federal sentence, federal hold, or federal transfer is suspected. If the question is a local Lexington County arrest, start with P2C. If the question is a final sentence to South Carolina prison, start with SCDC.

Lexington County Detention Center

The Lexington County Sheriff's Department operates the detention center at the Gibson Road sheriff complex. Official sources describe a 720-bed detention center, but the 2024 Annual Report gives a more precise capacity picture: SCDC official rated capacity 599, optimal maximum occupancy 420, and 2024 average daily population 641. The annual report breaks the rated capacity into the old jail rated 102, annex rated 176, and 1998 pod structure rated 321. Both figures should be preserved because they describe different capacity measures.

Lexington County Booking and Bond

After arrest, a person may be transported to the detention center for intake, identification, classification, and booking into county custody. The P2C inmate list can update with the arrest date, booking agency, and primary charge. Bond information may change during the day, so Bond Court and detention contacts are better official sources for current release details than a single roster snapshot.

Bond Court is also distinct from the Clerk's later court-record functions. Bond Court handles the near-term custody and release question after booking. The Clerk and Public Index record the filed case path once a case is opened in the court system. The Solicitor's Office may later review charges, diversion options, plea paths, or General Sessions prosecution.

Note: Booking charge information is not a conviction; final charges and sentencing must be verified in the court file.

Lexington County Inmate Visitation

Lexington County detention visitation is split into on-site public visits, remote visits through IC Solutions, official or attorney visits, and special remote-only windows for disciplinary confinement. Public on-site visits require proper student, state, or government photo ID, including for children. Visitors should arrive at least 15 minutes early. Two adults may visit at one time, children under 12 are not allowed on-site, and ages 12-17 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.

Lexington County Inmate Mail

Regular mail and photos are routed through Smart Communications for electronic delivery. Money orders, legal or privileged mail, court documents, bank statements, and pre-approved publications use the Lexington detention P.O. Box instead. This split matters because sending legal mail to the wrong scan-mail address can delay delivery, while sending regular mail to the facility address can also fail the posted process.

Funds, Calls, and Medical Care

Inmates cannot possess cash and cannot receive phone calls. Money can be kept in an inmate account for canteen items such as snack foods, paper, stamped envelopes, toiletries, and undergarments. Lexington County accepts money orders by mail and links online inmate deposits to jailpackstore.com. The official daily deposit limit found in research is $140. Deposit service fees, commissary prices, phone rates, and remote visit charges were not located in official sources.

• Press option 6 through the Sheriff's phone system for information on opening an account to fund inmate calls.
• Emergency messages are limited to actual and verifiable emergencies such as death or medical emergency of immediate family.
• The shift supervisor number for urgent detention issues is 803-785-2743.
• Medical care is provided 24 hours by contracted personnel, with physician visits and emergency transport when needed.
• A mental health caseworker is available seven days a week and on call after hours.

Contact the shift supervisor immediately if an inmate appears depressed, suicidal, or unstable.

Lexington County Inmate Apps and Tips

Research did not find a Lexington County sheriff-owned inmate app or a Lexington Police-specific app. The official app connection for inmates is IC Solutions, which supports remote video visitation scheduling and account workflow. That app does not replace the P2C roster. It helps family and approved visitors connect for remote visits after the inmate has been identified through the detention process.

Lexington County and local police sources also direct anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers and P3 Tips. P3 is a tip channel, not an inmate search database. It supports anonymous tips, two-way dialog, image or video upload, and wanted or missing-person information in the app listing. Use it to provide information to law enforcement, not to confirm custody status.
