Manning Reentry Overview

The SCDC institution directory lists Manning Reentry/Work Release Center at 502 Beckman Road in Columbia. SCDC names Evonne Saulter as warden, lists the center as opened in 1963, and describes custody level as minimum, male. The facility is the agency's centralized pre-release center for male offenders within 180 days of release.

Manning is not a county jail even though its name includes work release. It holds sentenced male prisoners in SCDC custody and supports reentry, labor crews, and work-release participants. A person may appear at Manning after movement through sentencing, reception, classification, and placement. For public lookup, SCDC is the correct system, while Richland County JMSOnline remains limited to current county detainees at Alvin S. Glenn.

The official SCDC institution directory below is the matched image source for Manning and other state facilities in Richland County.

The directory source is important because it frames Manning as an SCDC reentry and work-release center, not as a local jail roster facility.

Manning Custody Population

The research did not locate a public capacity figure for Manning on the SCDC institution page. SCDC gives the population role instead: minimum-custody male prisoners within 180 days of release, pre-release participants, labor crew participants, and work-release participants. This is state sentenced custody, and program status can be tied to release planning, employment, restitution, child support, room and board, mandatory savings, and approved movement.

Manning's public records should be read through SCDC fields rather than booking fields. The SCDC locator may show identifiers, current institution, admission date, offense, offense county, projected release information, parole dates, and photo data when available. Work-release status does not mean the person is free from custody. It means SCDC has approved a controlled program status within state correctional rules.

This distinction matters for families and employers. A Manning listing can involve pre-release planning, labor crew status, or work-release participation, but SCDC still controls the person's custody, location, movement, and conditions. The county jail does not set Manning program rules. If there is a question about a local court case or earlier booking, use court and county records for that history, then use SCDC for current state custody.

Manning Inmate Lookup

SCDC's incarcerated inmate search is the correct lookup for Manning Reentry/Work Release Center. Use the SCDC ID or SID if known. If no number is available, search by name and use phonetic search when spelling is uncertain. The SCDC locator is also the better source for projected release fields, which are especially relevant to a pre-release center.

1. Open the SCDC locator instead of the county jail roster.
2. Enter SCDC ID, SID, or the person's name.
3. Use phonetic search or fewer name fields if the first search fails.
4. Confirm Manning as the current location before sending mail, money, or visitors.

When a Manning search fails, use the same custody split used for other Richland County facilities. New arrests belong in the county jail search. Sentenced SCDC prisoners belong in the SCDC locator. Federal and immigration custody use separate federal tools. Work release does not create a county roster entry, and it does not remove the need to verify the person through SCDC before sending mail, money, or visitors.

Manning Contact Details

Use the SCDC facility number for Manning questions. Because Manning involves pre-release, labor crew, and work-release programming, location and schedule questions should be confirmed directly. A person may have approved work movement while still being under SCDC custody and rules.

Manning Reentry Visits

Manning visitation follows SCDC visitation policy. Specific Manning visiting hours were not in the research. Work-release status can make schedules more complicated because a prisoner may be tied to program, employment, labor crew, or reentry obligations. Visitors should confirm approval, schedule, ID, dress code, program status, and any temporary limits before traveling.

Manning Mail Money

Manning mail and money deposits follow SCDC family rules. Use SCDC mail guidance for current addressing and content standards. Use SCDC sending-money guidance for approved deposit methods and fees. The research did not document a Manning-specific fee table, and county jail commissary deadlines should not be used for state custody.

Manning Reentry Programs

SCDC lists education at Manning including literacy, GED, and Work Keys. Vocational offerings include brick masonry, carpentry, NCCER Safety Orientation, forklift training, heavy equipment operator, small engine repair, and on-the-job certificate programs in horticulture, grounds maintenance, janitorial services, and food services. The facility's focus is practical release preparation and work capacity.

Programs include a 24-month reentry program, evidence-based classes, labor crew and work release with local businesses, restitution, child support, room and board, mandatory savings, family reunification, Department of Employment and Workforce resources, TURN90, MAT, peer support, and SPICE. Section 19 of the research notes that Manning offenders in work release can be paid by employers and pay victim restitution, child support, room and board, and mandatory savings. That makes Manning the Richland County facility page where reentry wording is essential.

Those deductions and savings requirements show why Manning is not just a place name in a locator result. The work-release program connects custody with employment, family transition, victim restitution, child support, housing costs, and required savings before release. A projected release date or program status should still be confirmed with SCDC because discipline, job status, court orders, parole decisions, or classification changes can affect how long a person remains at Manning.

Because Manning is near the end of many sentences, records questions often involve both custody and reentry timing. The SCDC locator can show projected release information, but that field is not a promise of a final release day. Program completion, work status, conduct, credits, and state decisions can change the practical timeline. Families should use the locator for the public record and the facility for current instructions.
