Public sources conflict on the exact street address. Call before mailing anything.

Different public sources list different street numbers on Ellis Avenue in Orangeburg for this facility, and Orangeburg County’s official site doesn’t publish a dedicated mailing address for the Detention Center. Call (803) 539-2091 to get the correct current mailing address before you send anything, instead of guessing based on conflicting listings.
This is one of the rare cases where we can’t confidently publish a mailing address. Multiple public sources list different street numbers on Ellis Avenue in Orangeburg for this facility, and Orangeburg County’s official site doesn’t publish a dedicated Detention Center mailing address separate from general Sheriff’s Office contact information. Instead of risking mail sent to a wrong or outdated address, call (803) 539-2091 and ask for the exact current mailing address, including whether personal letters route through a separate address from money orders or legal mail.
Photo policies, including how many can be included per letter and any restrictions on content, aren’t published for this facility. Ask when you call to confirm the mailing address.
Rules on whether books and magazines need to come from an approved vendor, and whether packages are accepted at all, aren’t published. Many county jails restrict packages entirely or route them through an approved vendor. Ask specifically about both before attempting to send either.
Regardless of this facility’s specific rules, some restrictions are universal at nearly every correctional facility: never mail cash directly to an inmate, and never include anything that could be mistaken for a prohibited substance or contraband. Doing so risks the mail being rejected or destroyed and can create legal exposure for the sender.
Call (803) 539-2091 before you send anything. Confirm the exact current address, whether personal letters use a different address than money orders or legal mail, and ask about photo and package policies.
The easiest way to send photos and letters to someone at Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center is through Pigeonly. Upload your photos or write your letter online, and Pigeonly prints and mails everything to the facility for you, following the mail rules listed above.
