Berkeley Records Contacts

Questions about a Berkeley County release must go to the office that controls the record. County jail, FOIA, state-prison, supervision, court, immigration, and military sources each have different authority. The contacts below route a request without suggesting that one office can answer for every custody system.

This private reference site is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record.

Mail: PO Box 6122, Moncks Corner, SC 29461
843-719-4011

Choose the Right Office

The kind of custody determines the right route.

  • Use the home search and records path for a named Berkeley County release.
  • Use Parole & Probation for SCDPPPS supervision.
  • Use the SCDC released-inmate search for a former state prisoner.
  • Use SC VINE for custody notifications and source-agency status changes.
  • Use ICE or BOP for the federal system that actually held the person.
  • For Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston, call Master Control at 843-794-0001 or the proper service liaison.
