Colleton County Jail Roster
The Colleton County Sheriff's Office links the public to a Public Safety Suite Pro / Zuercher portal for current inmates. The county search-channel inventory identified the roster at Colleton County Current Inmates. During inspection, the portal returned 81 total records. The Detention Center address shown in the portal is 22 Klein Street, Walterboro, SC 29488, with phone 843-549-5742 and fax 843-549-4321.
The roster is for current local custody. It is not a full criminal-history report, a court disposition record, a state prison record, or proof that a listed charge ended in conviction. The portal warns that inmate information can change quickly, may contain errors, and should not be used for legal action. Arrest does not mean guilt. For the full case outcome after an arrest, check the court case file or the related Colleton County court charge records.

Use the Colleton County Roster
The Zuercher inmate roster can be searched without a booking number. The most useful fields are name, arrest date, held-for agency, and release date. If a search result shows a release date, confirm current status with the Detention Center before relying on the page. If no result appears, try a broader name search or use the state prison search if the person may have been sentenced and transferred.
- Open the county-linked Public Safety Suite Pro inmate portal.
- Enter a name, arrest date, held-for agency, or release date if known.
- Run the search and review the roster row for name, arrest date, agency, and hold reasons.
- Open or expand the result when available to read charges, warrant hold details, bond type, and bond amount.
- Call the Detention Center at 843-549-5742 before taking legal action based on a roster entry.

Colleton County Inmate Search Fields
The county public configuration enables a narrow set of search fields. Race, sex, cell block, and in-custody-on filters exist in the generic portal template but were not enabled in the Colleton public configuration. That distinction matters because users should not expect housing pod or full demographic filtering from the public roster.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Optional | Free-text name search. |
| Arrest Date | Date | Optional | Single date field. |
| Held For Agency | Dropdown | Optional | Examples include CCSO, CCDC, CCCHGS, CCMAG, CCPC, WPD, CVPD, EBPD, SCHP, SLED, SCDC, USMS, ICE/Homeland Security. |
| Release Date | Date | Optional | Single date field. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs query. |
| Reset | Button | n/a | Clears filters. |
Colleton County Inmate Profile Fields
The public roster shows an inventory of custody and hold information. It does not show every jail-management field.

Colleton County Jail vs SCDC
County jail records and state prison records are different searches. Colleton County's roster covers local detention. The SCDC public search covers inmates currently sentenced to and incarcerated in the South Carolina Department of Corrections as of midnight the previous day. SCDC excludes released SCDC offenders, county detention-facility inmates, parole and probation supervision cases, SCDC fugitives, and juvenile offenders housed with SCDC.
| Search | Official Holder | Best Use | Coverage Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colleton current inmates | Colleton County Sheriff's Office / Detention Center | Current local custody, arrest date, holds, warrants, bond entries. | Does not prove final conviction or state prison status. |
| SCDC inmate search | South Carolina Department of Corrections | Sentenced state inmates, SCDC ID, SID, physical fields, current SCDC custody. | Excludes county jail detainees and released SCDC offenders. |

Colleton County Inmate Funds
County materials say cash, credit cards, or debit cards may be used to deposit money into an inmate account at the lobby kiosk at 22 Klein Street. Kiosk hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding holidays. Weekend and holiday kiosk windows are 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. Inmates may also receive funds online by credit card through McDaniel Supply Company.
SmartInmate / Smart Communications categories shown in the research include telephone service, trust account deposits, electronic messaging, video visitation, photos, and postal mail processing / MailGuard. County text did not expose a complete Colleton-specific mail address format, banned item list, video visit price, phone call price, tablet program, commissary menu, or holiday visitation change rule.

The commissary source connects Colleton County inmate records to the official online deposit and store channel named in the research.
Note: For visitor ID rules, dress code, child visitor rules, mail details, and current vendor pricing, call the Detention Center or use SmartInmate rules.
Colleton County Inmate Warrant Holds
Colleton County inmate records may show warrant-related hold reasons, including Warrant, FTP Bench Warrant, Failure to Pay warrant, and Additional Hold. These hold reasons can include a warrant number, issuing jurisdiction, charge or statute, bond type, bond amount, and the judicial officer or court actor who set bond. A warrant hold in the jail roster should be checked against the issuing court or the Sheriff's Warrants and Civil Process line before a person makes court or surrender plans.
The research found no official Colleton County Sheriff's Office app, no official Walterboro Police Department app, and no app-only inmate lookup or warrant search. Official tools are web-based, including Zuercher, SmartInmate/SmartJailMail, JailPackStore, FOIA email, tip submission, and camera registration.
Jail roster data can also point to the next record channel. If the held-for agency is Walterboro Police Department, a municipal court or city case may be involved. If the held-for agency is General Sessions or the hold reason lists a felony charge, the Circuit Court criminal file may hold the later indictment, plea, disposition, or sentence sheet. If the roster lists only a local custody event and no court outcome, it should be treated as booking information rather than a final case record.
For a non-published sheriff record, the Sheriff's FOIA channel remains the fallback. South Carolina FOIA allows public-record inspection, copying, or electronic transmission unless an exemption or other law applies, but the Sheriff's Office form also lists local fees for search, retrieval, redaction, discs, flash drives, and paper copies. Body-worn camera video is not treated by the Sheriff's Office as a public record subject to FOIA disclosure.
