About the Barnwell County Detention Center

The Barnwell County Detention Center is located at 330 Calhoun Street in Barnwell, and has post office boxes for incoming mail for inmates. This is the main detention center for the county and holds inmates both before and after their trial.

There are several ways in which to maintain contact with inmates during their incarceration, as outside relationships are key to a successful reintegration into society after the sentence has been served, and will help to increase the success of inmates at that time. To support this there is a PO Box that accepts mail on behalf of inmates, it is then checked for contraband and then delivered to the inmates. This address is PO Box 2925, PMB 79078, San Antonio, TX 78299-2925 for personal letters, while legal mail and money orders can be sent directly to the center itself.

Phone calls are only permitted to be outgoing from the center and incoming calls for inmates are not accepted. At this time the lobby is closed, limiting the use of the kiosks for depositing money or for the visitation times, so visits have been moved to a video system. The website to register and book visits is https://www.homewav.com/ and the support number for them is 844-394-6639.

It is not permitted to bring alcohol, tobacco, cell phones, or purses into visits or to have alcohol or unsupervised children in video calls. With the HomeWav program there is no need to book visits, but simply fund the account and allow inmates to initiate a call when they are ready. To ensure you are available it is recommended to discuss the next call when you speak to the inmate, and they will have access to the systems during their daytime hours when they are permitted to have access to phones and devices but are not in a class or session.

For up to date information on the detention center and the Sheriff's office they maintain a very active facebook page.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Barnwell County Detention Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Barnwell County Detention Center, call the jail’s booking line at 803-541-0283.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Barnwell County Detention Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Barnwell County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Barnwell County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Barnwell County Detention Center?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Barnwell County and other South Carolina and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Barnwell County Detention Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Barnwell County Detention Center Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

Does Barnwell County have bail?  

Yes,  Barnwell County recognizes most types of bonds.

What kind of bonds are accepted in Barnwell County? 

Barnwell County recognizes most types of bonds as listed at this site. The court will consider what type of bonds will be accepted depending on the circumstances of the arrest.

Who can set bail in Barnwell County?

Magistrate or Municipal judges conduct most bond hearings. Circuit Court judges must set bond on charges where the penalty is life imprisonment or death. 

When is bail set in South Carolina?  

Bail is set at the bond hearing when the judge sets the amount and conditions of a bond. This will generally occur within 24 hours from the time of arrest, not counting weekends or holidays. During this time, the solicitor learns about the crime and creates the charges.

In cases where the crime could result in life imprisonment or death sentence, the bond must be heard in the circuit court at the next term of General Sessions Court.
