Florence County, South Carolina

The Florence County Detention Center serves as the central booking facility for all arrests within the county. The facility processes bookings from the Florence County Sheriff's Office, the Florence Police Department, and other municipal law enforcement agencies operating within the county, including departments in Lake City, Johnsonville, and Timmonsville.

Florence County maintains an online inmate roster that provides public access to current detainee information, including booking photographs, charges, bond amounts, and arrest dates. Records are subject to the same FOIA provisions that apply to all South Carolina counties, meaning all booking information is available upon request.

About Florence County

Florence County is the commercial and medical hub of the Pee Dee region, a predominantly rural area of northeastern South Carolina. The city of Florence serves as a regional center for healthcare, with major hospital systems serving a multi-county area. The county sits at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Interstate 20, making it a significant transportation crossroads. This strategic location contributes to a steady volume of arrests involving travelers and interstate commerce.

The Pee Dee region has historically faced higher poverty rates and lower economic development compared to South Carolina's urban corridor. Florence County has worked to attract new industry and development, but the region's criminal justice system continues to process a volume of bookings that reflects both local activity and the county's role as a regional hub.
