About the Oconee County Jail
The beautiful surroundings of Walhalla, SC, wrap around the Oconee Sheriff’s Office and the detention center that houses the locally arrested detainees while they await their trial or as they serve their sentence. Operated by the sheriff’s office, the facility maintains a focus on respect, fairness, safety, and security. There are several trained officers who operate the facility and ensure that the needs of each inmate is met. They are provided with meals three times a day that are nutritionally balanced, clothing to wear and a laundry service to ensure they have clean clothing items, a commissary to purchase additional clothing and personally hygiene items as needed, as well as some snack choices and other items. Phone calls are outgoing only but allow inmates to communicate with their friends or their family, and they are also permitted to have visits provided they are not restricted as a disciplinary measure. Programs are offered onsite that all inmates may take part in to get their GED as needed, religious service to attend, and access to rehabilitation services for any drug or alcohol addictions that are present. These services are provided to help inmates leave the facility better prepared for their life on the outside of the facility when their sentence has been served and incarceration ended. Part of the mental health care for inmates is access to counselling and other services, as well as communication with friends and family outside of the facility. It can promote healthy relationships that expand beyond the jail to provide supports upon their release and during the reintegration into the community. To support these relationships inmates can both receive and send responses through the mail at Oconee County Detention Center, 415 S Pine St, Walhala, SC. They are also able to make phone calls regularly throughout the day, and these can be funded via the kiosk near the entrance to the jail, online at JailPackStore.com or by phone at 888-984-1903. The website as well as the kiosk are both also accessible to add money to their commissary account, allowing them to make purchases they need, and visiting is processed through cidnet.net. Onsite visits can be scheduled up to twice a week for 30 minutes each time, and can book online at customer.cidnet.net. Remote visits are condicted on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet and these visits are not limited on how often they can occur. Due to the varying schedule of inmates, there is no one set visitation schedule that fits the entire facility, but using the online program to book a visit will provide access to the schedule of the specific inmate that the visit will be with.
