Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Turbeville Correctional Institution
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or state custody search. Inmate records typically list identifying information such as the person’s name, inmate number, admission or booking date, listed offenses or charges, sentence information when available, facility location, and custody status. New records do not always appear immediately after arrival or booking because intake, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours or longer. If a person was recently arrested in Clarendon County and does not appear in the state search, check the local county detention center or court records because pretrial detainees are usually held at the county level before any transfer to state custody.
