W. Glenn Campbell Jail Overview
The official W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center page places the jail under Darlington County's Courts and Legal section and identifies it as the county detention facility operated by the Darlington County Sheriff's Office. The county sheriff page identifies Sheriff Michael August as the current sheriff. The jail is the local custody point for people arrested by county, municipal, state, and some federal authorities when they are booked into Darlington County custody.
The facility is built for male and female inmates. Darlington County describes the population as mainly pretrial or waiting to go before a judge, with a smaller share serving short county sentences or waiting for transfer. The county page also says the jail contracts with the U.S. Marshals Service to hold federal defendants awaiting trial in federal court. That mixed population makes the lookup path important: the county roster is the first stop for local jail custody, while SCDC, BOP, USMS, and ICE channels may be needed for other custody stages.
The county's detention-center image below comes from the official Darlington County detention page, the source for the jail's capacity, leadership, PREA, and operations details.
The image helps distinguish the official detention-center source from the separate roster portal, sheriff site, and court-record channels used elsewhere in the Darlington County custody process.
W. Glenn Campbell Capacity and Population
Darlington County publishes several facility figures for W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center. The detention page lists regular inmate housing capacity and additional holding-area capacity. It also reports more than 50 detention employees. The population mix is unusually clear: the county says 95% to 98% of inmates are pretrial or waiting to go to court, while 2% to 5% are serving 90 days or less or waiting to transfer to another facility.
The last located Darlington County medical-services RFP cited an average daily population of 163 over a prior 12-month period, an average length of stay of 20 days, and a proposal base population of 217. Those figures came from the 2017 RFP and should not be treated as a current daily count. Current custody must be checked through the county inmate list or by calling the facility.
Look Up W. Glenn Campbell Inmates
The Darlington County inmate search page and the sheriff's bookings page point users to the county-linked roster at bookings.darlingtonsheriff.org/dcn. The county says the inmate list covers people arrested and in jail, current status, bail amount, visitor timeframes, and people arrested or discharged within the past 24 hours. It also says searchers may use full name, date of birth, or arrest number.
- Open the county inmate search page or sheriff bookings page and follow the Inmate Search link.
- Search by full name first, with extra care on the last name because the county says inmates are listed alphabetically.
- Use date of birth or arrest number when several people have similar names.
- Read current status, bail amount, and any visitor timeframe shown for that inmate.
- Call W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center if the person was just arrested, just released, transferred, or held under another agency.
The county jail roster is not the statewide prison search. When a Darlington County defendant has been sentenced to SCDC custody, use the South Carolina Department of Corrections incarcerated inmate search. For sentenced federal prisoners, use the BOP inmate locator. Immigration detention checks belong in ICE ODLS, not the county jail roster.
W. Glenn Campbell Address and Contact
Use the jail address for visits, inmate-custody questions, and facility-specific confirmation. Do not confuse it with the Darlington County Sheriff's Office administrative address on Harry Byrd Highway or the Prison Camp address on Camp Road. The county detention page lists public contact hours for the office line and identifies Major/Director Mitch Stanley, Captain Valerie Rogers, and other detention leadership.

W. Glenn Campbell Visitation
Darlington County's accessible static pages did not publish a separate jail-wide visitation schedule, dress code, child-visitor rule, remote-video policy, or holiday schedule. The county and sheriff pages do state that the inmate list includes times or timeframes when inmates can have visitors. That makes the inmate's own roster record the first place to check for visit windows, followed by a phone confirmation with the jail before travel.
| Visit Source | What It Provides | How to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| County inmate record | Person-specific visitor timeframe when listed | Search the roster by name, date of birth, or arrest number. |
| Detention center phone | Current status, lockdown changes, and entry questions | Call 843-398-4220 before traveling. |
| Attorney or professional visit | Professional access procedure | Use professional channels and call the facility directly. |
| Holiday or emergency change | Schedule change or restriction | Confirm with the jail because no static holiday page was located. |
Bring government photo identification and confirm the entry point, visitor rules, and the inmate's current eligibility before leaving for Rogers Road. A release, court trip, medical transport, disciplinary restriction, or transfer can change the visit plan.
W. Glenn Campbell Phone and Commissary
The Darlington County inmate services page links telephone service to InmateSales and commissary services to JailPackStore. The county page does not publish a full money-deposit fee table, package limit, delivery calendar, jail mail format, or postcard rule in the located sources. Use only the vendor channels shown by the county and confirm custody before spending money.
| Service | Official County-Linked Source | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Telephone service | InmateSales | Rates and account rules were not posted on the county page. |
| Commissary packages | JailPackStore | Package limits and delivery days were not found in county static sources. |
| Call the jail for current rules | No official jail mail policy was located in the captured county pages. | |
| Money deposit | Confirm through the jail or vendor | No county deposit-fee table was located. |
W. Glenn Campbell Booking Intake
Booking at W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center starts when a person is brought into Darlington County jail custody after arrest. The local pathway includes identification, arrest-number creation, custody-status entry, property handling, initial screening, bond or first appearance, classification, and housing assignment. The roster can lag behind the actual arrest, and a person may be at court, a hospital, another county, or federal custody before appearing in the Darlington County list.
The county medical-services RFP gives unusually detailed intake-health context. It requires preliminary health screening when an inmate arrives, including current illness, medications, special health needs, mental-status observation, visible trauma or skin conditions, and referral for emergency care when needed. Those medical details are not public roster fields. They explain why intake can take time and why public custody records do not include confidential health information.
- Booking
- The jail intake record created after arrest.
- Classification
- The jail assessment used for housing, security, and movement decisions.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that can affect release.
- Pretrial detainee
- A person held before conviction or sentencing.
W. Glenn Campbell Records Requests
When the roster does not answer an inmate-record question, the sheriff's FOIA process is the official fallback for booking records, incident reports, photos, and older law-enforcement records. The research identifies the FOIA mailing channel as Darlington County Sheriff's Office, ATTN: Public Information Officer, P.O. Box 783, Darlington, SC 29540. The sheriff FOIA page cites South Carolina FOIA and posts fees for pages, staff time, and discs.
| Requested Item | Posted Fee Context | Source Note |
|---|---|---|
| 14-day reports | $0.35 per page | In-person requests only under the sheriff FOIA page. |
| Copies of documents | $0.35 per page | Use when requesting paper records. |
| Staff search, retrieval, or redaction | $20 per hour, with possible higher specialized rates | Applies when staff time is needed. |
| CD or DVD media | $5 per disc | May apply to photos, video, audio, or similar records. |
About W. Glenn Campbell Detention
W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center is the facility most people mean when they search for the Darlington County jail. The county calls it a direct-supervision facility and a self-contained jail operation. It also posts a zero-tolerance PREA policy for sexual assault and sexual harassment by inmates or staff. Reports can be made to the PREA coordinator or jail director through 843-398-4220, and the county says allegations are handled confidentially and investigated under PREA standards.
The jail's role should not be merged with the Darlington County Prison Camp. The detention center handles bookings, current custody, bond, short county sentences, transfer waits, and some federal pretrial holding. The Prison Camp is a minimum-security, all-male work and reentry facility with SCDC designated-facility screening. Current Darlington County inmate population questions often start at W. Glenn Campbell, but a sentenced or transferred person may need a state or federal lookup.
Note: Confirm custody, visit timing, and release status with the jail before traveling or sending money.
