The Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 3841 Leeds Ave North Charleston, SC which is operated locally by the Charleston County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Charleston County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the North Charleston Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
The Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center is also the Charleston Co Jail for 1,131 adult male and female inmates. The jail was originally built in 1966 and after three expansions consists of four large buildings. The original building, Tower A includes the Training Division, Training Room, staff weight room and showers, Inmate Library, Environmental/Logistics, eight inmate housing units, and two modular units. The expansion Towers B and C includes administrative offices, conference rooms, a state of the art control center, kitchen, laundry, staff dining, medical department, lobby, visitation area, twenty-one direct supervision units and an Infirmary. The fourth building is our work camp facility which is located on the same campus. The Detention Center is closely monitored by over 700 cameras in the "nerve center" known as Central Control to ensure the safety and security of the facility, staff, and inmates. Perimeter security consists of a single fence with concertina wire, a perimeter alarm system, and security cameras placed in several locations. The facilities main entrance requires contracted employees and visitors to pass through a metal detector and all bags are scanned to ensure no contraband is being brought into the facility. The facility's vehicle sallyport is secured by a hydraulic gate which is operated by Central Control to ensure safety and security.
Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center publishes the names of their inmates currently in their facility in South Carolina. Your search should start with this locator first to see if your loved one is there.
The second box is the InmateAid Inmate Search. This database of inmates is user-generated content for the purpose of accessing and utilizing any or all of the InmateAid services. If you need our assistance creating your own inmate profile to keep in touch, email us at aid@inmateaid.com and we will assist you in locating your inmate.
As a last resort, you might have to pay for that information if we do not have it. The Arrest Record Search will cost you a small amount, but their data is the freshest available and for that reason they charge to access it.
