Schedule a Visit with an Inmate at the Dorchester County Detention Center

The Dorchester County Detention Center believes in the importance of their inmates having an opportunity to have visits from family and friends. When an inmate is released he or she needs to return home, and closeness to their family is one of the strongest reasons that keeps them from getting in trouble again.

One way that Dorchester County Detention Center is able to accomplish this is with on-site visitation, and video visitation using paytel.

The benefits of inmate visitation are:

• It keeps inmates happy.
• Allows the inmates to stay in touch with friends, family and children.
• It is used as a way to control bad behavior, as inmates could lose this privilege if they act out.

For more information on scheduling visits, call the facility at 843-832-0215, sign up with paytel, or scroll down for a complete section of Visiting Hours, Signing up and Registering with paytel, and Frequently Asked Questions and Answers, including dress codes, rules and guidelines.
