How the Kershaw County Inmate Search Works
Search the Kershaw County roster by last name, first name or a word from the listed charge. Names may be spelled differently in booking records, so try the last name on its own first. When the public feed omits charges or bond, the official inmate search for Kershaw County Detention Center (kershaw-so-sc.zuercherportal.com/#/inmates) has the full booking record.
A new booking can appear several hours after the arrest, and a person transferred to another facility will drop off this list. Nearby county jails in South Carolina, such as Jasper, Lancaster, Horry, keep separate rosters; someone arrested across a county line will be booked there instead. Large counties publish inmate searches.
This roster covers Kershaw County Detention Center only; it is not a statewide South Carolina inmate search. People sentenced to state prison are listed by the state department of corrections. County detention centers are sheriff-run.
