The Allendale County Detention Center is located within Allendale, SC. It has a top capacity of 50 inmates and is a medium security facility. It is one of 37 jails that are within the county, and it holds only male inmates with the female inmates being held in a comparable facility. Those who are found housed here are either waiting for their trail to end, those who are serving their sentence, and people who have been newly arrested and have not yet begun their trial. The largest portion of this population is almost always waiting for their trail to begin or to complete it. Kiosks are located within the lobby of the building to allow for inmates to have their commissary and phone account to be funded by their friends and family who are not incarcerated. If it is not possible or convenient to get to the jail for this reason, commissary purchases can be funded through inmatecanteen.com. All phone calls must be begun by the inmate with an outgoing call, and there is no strict schedule for these calls, but they are available during the hours the day room is in use or they have free time. All visitors must be first approved by the jail staff, and then they will be added to a list of people who are able to book visits. These must occur during approved visiting hours, when inmates will be available to their visitors. They are each permitted to have two visits each week and they will be for 30 minutes at each time. As visiting hours can vary it is necessary to schedule in advance with the jail and arrive a few minutes early to go through security. To accommodate this no visit will begin before 7:30am and no visit will begin after 9pm.
