Step 1. Go to JMS Online

Richland County maintains its own detainee lookup, JMS Online, at www7.richlandcountysc.gov/JMSOnline/public/default.aspx. It’s also linked directly from the county’s main Detention Center page under “Detainee Lookup.” Enter the person’s first and last name to search.

How Current Is the Roster?

The county doesn’t publish a stated refresh interval for JMS Online. If someone was booked recently and doesn’t appear yet, try again after a few hours, or call the facility directly to confirm booking status right away.

If You Can’t Find Someone

A name search can come up empty for a few reasons: the booking hasn’t been entered into the system yet, the person is being held by a different agency or at a different facility entirely, or a name variation (nickname, maiden name, misspelling) is affecting the match. If you’ve tried reasonable variations and still can’t find the person, call (803) 576-3201.

What to Do Once You’ve Confirmed Someone Is at Alvin S. Glenn

Once JMS Online confirms someone is in custody, the next steps are usually scheduling a visit, sending money, and confirming the mailing address. Each of those has its own requirements, covered in the linked guides below.
