This is a private reference site, not the York County Sheriff's Office, York County Detention Center, a court, or any government office. We cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull an official booking record. Use the official contacts below for those actions.
Where to Check First
The York County Detention Center is operated by the York County Sheriff's Office at the Moss Justice Center. The public detention address is York County Detention Center, 1675-3A York Highway, York, SC 29745. The Sheriff's Office administrative address is 1675-2A York Highway, York, SC 29745. General Sheriff's Office phone is 803-628-3059, detention command is 803-628-3080, and inmate information routes through 803-628-3083. General Sessions criminal court offices list Monday-Friday hours of 8 a.m.-5 p.m.; detention and bond operations should be confirmed by phone before visiting.
- Current York County jail custody: start with jail inmate records and the official current roster, which shows current bookings only.
- Booking photos: use jail roster mugshots for current roster photos, or request older booking photos through Sheriff's Office FOIA.
- Charges after arrest: use court records after a jail arrest and the York County 16th Circuit Public Index for court filings.
- Facility questions: use the footer links for the York County Detention Center Main Building and Annex, both at 1675-3A York Highway.
- State prison custody: use the SCDC public inmate search for people sentenced to and incarcerated in South Carolina Department of Corrections custody, or call SCDC inmate information at 1-866-727-2846.
- Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP inmate locator for federal sentenced prisoners and ICE's Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detention. York County may also hold U.S. Marshals or ICE detainees locally, so check the county roster if the person may be physically housed at YCDC.
- Notifications: use VINELink South Carolina for custody notification registration. It is not a complete booking record or court-record database.
- Mobile app searches: no York County Sheriff's Office South Carolina app-only inmate roster was verified during research. Use the web roster, phone paths, FOIA, court index, SCDC, BOP, ICE, and VINELink instead.
