Find Broad River Secure Inmates

Broad River Secure Overview

The SCDC institution directory lists Broad River Secure Facility at the same Broad River Road address and phone number used for the Broad River complex. SCDC identifies Joseph Canning III as facility administrator. The directory says the facility opened in 1988 and became a standalone facility in 2021. It is a close-custody male institution.

The facility is not a county jail and should not be searched through Richland County JMSOnline. SCDC says Broad River Secure Facility houses prisoners in Restrictive Housing Unit, Secure Mental Health Unit, and Death Row. The Capital Punishment Facility is co-located there and carries out South Carolina court-ordered executions. Those roles make the page different from a normal county booking or roster page.

The official SCDC source below is the matched image for Richland County state-prison facility pages and shows the state institution directory used for facility details.

The directory source is important because Broad River Secure's identity comes from SCDC's facility listing, not from Richland County jail material.

Broad River Secure Population

The research did not locate a public capacity figure for Broad River Secure Facility on the SCDC institution page. The documented population note is functional: SCDC describes close-custody male prisoners in restrictive housing, secure mental-health housing, death row, and capital punishment facility functions. That type of housing can involve limits on public scheduling, movement, and ordinary family contact.

Because no facility-level count was published in the research, avoid treating Broad River Secure as a roster with a fixed public daily population. The better public-record path is to search a specific person through SCDC, confirm the listed institution or location, and then contact SCDC for any visit, mail, phone, or legal-mail details that may be restricted by unit assignment.

Broad River Secure also requires careful wording because several of its functions are not ordinary housing functions. Restrictive housing can limit movement and contact. Secure mental-health housing can involve treatment and clinical review. Death row and capital punishment functions carry legal, security, and court-order implications. None of those categories turns the facility into a county jail or a public daily booking list. The SCDC locator is the record path for custody status, while SCDC and court records are needed for sentence and case context.

Broad River Secure Lookup

Use SCDC's incarcerated inmate search for Broad River Secure Facility. SCDC search results can include SCDC ID, SID, name, sex, race, age, height, weight, thumbnail photo data, institution, offense, offense county, projected release or maxout fields, parole fields, and other descriptors when available. The detail report may open as a PDF from the SCDC application.

1. Search first by SCDC ID or SID when one is available.
2. Search by last name and first name when the number is unknown.
3. Use phonetic search if spelling, hyphenation, or name order may be uncertain.
4. Confirm Broad River Secure Facility as the location before mailing or planning contact.

If a search result does not show the expected location, check the name spelling and then consider whether the person is still in county custody, was assigned to another SCDC institution, or is under a federal or immigration hold. Broad River Secure is a state facility, so a missing result should not be solved by assuming the county roster is current. The right fallback is to call SCDC or the facility with the person's full name and any known SCDC ID or SID.

Broad River Secure Contact

The published contact block for Broad River Secure uses the Broad River Road facility address and SCDC phone number. Because the facility includes restrictive and secure mental-health housing, a phone call is especially important before visiting or sending items. A person's exact unit can change what contact is allowed.

Broad River Secure Visits

Broad River Secure Facility follows SCDC visitation policy. Specific hours for this facility were not in the research, and the facility's close-custody role makes confirmation more important than on a general-population page. Visitors should verify approval, schedule, identification, dress code, housing-unit limits, lockdown status, and any death-row or secure mental-health unit restrictions before making travel plans.

Broad River Secure Mail

Broad River Secure mail and money deposits follow SCDC family rules. Use SCDC mail information for current address format, content limits, and rejected-item rules. Use SCDC sending-money information for approved deposit methods. The research did not document a facility-specific fee table, so do not borrow Alvin S. Glenn commissary rules for a state prisoner.

Broad River Secure Programs

SCDC says education for Broad River Secure is provided through Broad River Correctional and includes literacy and GED preparation. Health care is also coordinated through Broad River, with routine medical and dental care and 24-hour medical coverage, while area mental-health care is available. No industries were listed for Broad River Secure in the research.

Programs listed for the facility include religious services, volunteer programs, recreational services, and transitional programming through Broad River. In this setting, program availability may depend on custody level, housing unit, medical or mental-health placement, and security status. Broad River Secure's mission is more specialized than most facility pages because SCDC identifies it with restrictive housing, secure mental-health housing, death row, and execution functions.

For families, the most important program detail is that services may be delivered through the broader Broad River operation rather than as a separate open program schedule. Literacy, GED preparation, religious services, and transitional programming can still matter, but access may be filtered through security status. If the SCDC record shows Broad River Secure, confirm whether the person is in restrictive housing, secure mental-health housing, death row, or another unit before making plans based on ordinary prison expectations.
