Overview

Dillon County doesn’t publish visitation days, hours, ID requirements, or a dress code on its official site. Third-party sites list conflicting schedules for this jail, sometimes several different, mutually exclusive versions, which is a sign none of them reflect the current, accurate policy. Calling ahead is the only reliable way to plan a visit here.

Quick Facts

  • Visitation days, hours, and rules aren't published by the county.
  • Third-party sites give conflicting schedules for this facility. Don't rely on any single one.
  • Call (843) 774-1435 or (843) 841-3730 before planning a trip.
  • Ask whether visits are in-person or video, since South Carolina jails increasingly use video-only visitation.

Why This Page Doesn’t List Specific Hours

Some facility guides can tell you exactly what day and time to show up. This one can’t, because Dillon County’s official site doesn’t publish that information, and the third-party sites that claim to have it disagree with each other. One lists weekday and weekend hours that don’t match another site’s weekday-only schedule for the same facility. When sources conflict this directly, the responsible thing is to tell you to confirm directly instead of picking one and hoping it’s right.

What to Ask When You Call

Call (843) 774-1435 or (843) 841-3730 and ask:

  • What are the current visitation days and hours?
  • Are visits in-person, video-only, or both? Several South Carolina county jails, including nearby Horry County, have moved to video-only visitation in recent years, so don’t assume in-person visiting is available without confirming.
  • Do I need to register or be on an approved visitor list beforehand?
  • What ID do I need to bring?
  • Is there a dress code?
  • Are there age restrictions or requirements for bringing children?

Confirm the Person Is Still There First

Before you plan a visit around whatever hours you’re given, confirm the person you’re visiting is still in custody at this facility. See the inmate search guide for how to check, since Dillon County doesn’t offer an online tool and a phone call is the way to confirm.

If You Get Turned Away

If you show up and something about the visit doesn’t go as expected, ask directly what happened and what the actual current policy is, so you have accurate information for your next attempt instead of relying on what you were told the last time or what a website said.
