Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Richland County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

A.S. Glenn Detention Center booking search

Use the public Last Name, First Name and optional booking-date range controls. Confirm a missing or uncertain result with the Detention Center and ask about release or transfer.

Public search controls were reached without submitting a person query. Individual results, completeness, update delays and current custody accuracy were not tested. A missing result does not establish release; confirm custody, release or transfer with the actual agency.

Richland County Detention Center — 803-576-3200

The current County government page publishes this Detention Center contact. Ask the facility to confirm actual County custody, release or transfer. Initial Police custody may precede detention-center intake; county geography alone does not establish the holding agency. Call the published Detention Center contact and ask whether the person is held there, released or transferred, and which agency can confirm present custody. For a fresh arrest, confirm the arresting force and initial holding location. The number was not called.

Local source reviewed 2026-10-06. Public search controls were reached; individual search results were not checked.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the South Carolina correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.
