Union County Detention Center Prison Work Facility
The Detention Center Pretrial and Work Camp Divisions employ 32 Officers that supervise an average population of 100 county/city detainees for pretrial confinement, and inmates serving sentences ordered by the Summary, and General Sessions courts for offenses consisting of 90 days or less, as well as Family Court sentences. The Prison Work Camp also houses up to 20 State Inmate Workers who perform full-time jobs while fulfilling their state sentence.
Supervised inmates prepare meals in the Detention Center kitchen for inmates at the Prison Work facility and for detainees awaiting trial in the Pretrial Division.
The Director of the Detention Center provides inmate work details at county buildings, the animal shelter, and the maintenance shop. Prison Work Camp inmates also provide labor to Union County’s Palmetto Pride Litter pickup, as well as assisting Code Enforcement in property cleanups.
