Detention Facility Information

    Lexington County Detention Center in Lexington, South Carolina

    Trying to find someone after an ICE arrest in Lexington County? First confirm where the person is now. ICE's oversight listing names Lexington County Detention Center, but a listing does not show who is currently held there. In 2025, the Post and Courier reported that the sheriff described ICE stays at this jail as short, in cycles of about 72 hours, before people are moved to long-term centers in Georgia. This guide shares the public contact details and explains what to verify before you visit or send anything.

    How Can I Find Someone at Lexington County Detention Center?

    Use ICE's official detainee locator. Search ICE's official detainee locator using the person's A-Number and country of birth, or their name and country of birth. ICE's oversight page records an inspection of this facility on August 7, 2025; it is not a live roster and does not confirm a person's present location.

    You can also call (803) 785-8230, option 2 during regular detention information hours. Have the person's full name, any other names they use, date of birth, and country of birth ready.

    Can't find them? If the search finds no match, try again later and call the county detention information line. The ACLU of South Carolina says locator records may take hours or days to appear. A person can also be moved, so confirm the current location before making a trip.

    VISITATION & CONTACT

    Visiting, Calling & Sending Money

    The sheriff's public information describes services for county jail inmates. It does not confirm that the same rules apply to people held for ICE. Call first and ask specifically about ICE custody before traveling, setting up an account, or mailing money.

    Visiting Lexington County Detention Center

    The county lists on-site visits Monday through Friday, 8 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m., and remote visits daily at 9 to 11 a.m., 1 to 4 p.m., and 7 to 10 p.m. Its page says visitors need photo ID and should arrive 15 minutes early. Schedules can vary by housing unit and status. Ask the facility whether a person held for ICE can receive a visit and what booking steps apply.

    Calling Someone

    The county says inmates cannot receive calls, but may make outgoing collect calls. For the detention information menu, call (803) 785-8230, option 2. These are general jail instructions, not confirmed ICE-detainee call rules. Ask the facility how to contact a person in ICE custody.

    Sending Money

    For county inmates, the sheriff's website lists deposits by money order or online and says deposits are limited to $140 per day. The listed regular inmate mail address is Smart Communications, Lexington County Detention Center, Inmate Name-ID Number, PO Box 9108, Seminole, FL 33775-9108. Do not use this information for an ICE detainee unless the jail confirms the person, identification number, current address, and accepted payment method.

    Confirmation of the person's current location
    Bond amount, if ICE has set one
