Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Leath Correctional Institution
To find someone at this facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. County jail rosters commonly list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but a state prison search may instead show the inmate’s name, identification number, current location, sentence information, and release or custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is booked, sentenced, or transferred. Processing and data updates can take several hours, and in some cases longer, before the record becomes searchable. If the person does not appear, check again later or contact the facility or the South Carolina Department of Corrections for guidance.
