Richland County Inmate Search & Jail Records

Inmate search or jail records are generated at the local detention center when an individual is booked. During this process, jail officers assign the person an inmate number and housing unit. The record is subsequently updated with the details of new events, such as bond-outs, court appearance dates, housing location transfer, sentencing, or release.

Richland County's Department of Public Safety (DPS) runs the county jail, which houses both people waiting for their court dates and those serving time after sentencing. Interested persons can search the jail roster online through the Offender Search resource. The public access version provides an inmate's name, age, height, weight, and booking date.
