Use the route that matches the question:
- For a released person or county release record, begin with the full Richland release search and request path.
- For community supervision, use the parole and probation resource and the Richland SCDPPPS office.
- For people who may have left recently, use the 24-hour release workflow, which explains the absence of a County feed.
- For a date or alert, compare the projected release date and VINELink check resources.
- For a named facility, use the county jail or SCDC facility page listed below.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use SCDC's current or released system according to custody status.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the BOP or ICE locator, not a County or SCDC search.
