Jennings Street in Saluda, South Carolina, is the main holding facility for the entire county and is under the operation of the Saluda County Sheriff Office. This is a medium security center and has space for up to 64 inmates at any one time.
Those who require a more secure environment or who will be serving an extended sentence will be transferred to an alternative facility that is larger and has access to more services to assist in their rehabilitation. Inmates may receive mail while they are incarcerated at the location, and this can be sent directly to the inmate at the jail itself, where it will be checked for contraband before it is passed to the inmate.
To assist an inmate with their stay, money can be deposited through the kiosk in the lobby to fund their purchases through the commissary, thus allowing them to have access to personal hygiene needs, clothing, and other needs.
When staying in the facility, offenders are able to stay within their own community and close to their support system, which can assist in their success after they have been released.
Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided.
Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit.
Phone calls will also be permitted from the inmates to their friends and family after 7am and before 7:30pm.
Visits must be arranged in advance and occur during the same type of hours, based upon the availability of the inmate in question, with no visits occurring before 7am and not starting after 7:30pm, while there may be some restricted blocks of time around meals.
Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.
