Find ABC Mugshots Through the Correct Midlands Jail and Court Record
If you searched for “ABC mugshots,” you are most likely looking for ABC Columbia’s Midlands Mugshots galleries. Those galleries include arrests from multiple South Carolina Midlands jurisdictions, so there is no single “ABC jail” or one official inmate database behind every entry.
Records Search
Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property
Use the ABC gallery to identify the person, county or arresting agency, then verify the information through the responsible county detention center and South Carolina court records. A mugshot or booking charge documents an arrest-stage event and does not establish guilt or final case outcome.
What Does “ABC Mugshots” Mean?
ABC Columbia maintains a “mugshots” category containing regularly dated “Midlands Mugshots” galleries. Current September 2026 archive pages show near-daily publication on many weekdays, while older galleries demonstrate that arrests can come from different counties rather than a single Columbia detention facility.
That means a person shown in an ABC Columbia gallery might belong to Richland County, Lexington County, Newberry County, Kershaw County or another Midlands jurisdiction. The county or agency attached to the arrest determines which government database should be checked next.

Useful for finding a dated ABC roundup, but it is secondary reporting rather than the authoritative jail or court record.

Use the county jail or detention-center search to check current custody, booking information and any public booking photograph provided by that jurisdiction.

Use the relevant Public Index or court office after the booking when you need filings, hearings or later disposition information.

An ABC Midlands gallery can contain arrests from more than one jurisdiction. Do not assume that everyone in a gallery is housed at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center or any other single jail.
| County shown or implied | Official detention source | Best use | Important current note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Richland County | Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center | Current detainee and detention information | County page provides a Detainee Lookup and detention-center contact information. |
| Lexington County | Lexington County Sheriff’s Department inmate search | Inmate and booking-photo lookup | Online inmate listings currently have a one-day delay. |
| Newberry County | Newberry County Detention Center | Current or recently released inmate information | The normal inmate search was temporarily unavailable when reviewed; the county provided current information separately and noted no pictures were available. |
| Kershaw County | Kershaw County Detention Center inmate list | County custody information | The Detention Center is not under the jurisdiction of the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office. |
How to Verify an ABC Columbia Mugshot
A dated gallery is only a starting point. Verify the person through the agency that actually maintains the jail or court record before relying on charges, custody status or later case outcome.
Open the relevant ABC Midlands Mugshots page
Note the person’s full name, the published charge wording and any county or agency information shown with the entry.
Identify the responsible county or detention center
Do not automatically send every Columbia-area arrest to Richland County. ABC galleries historically include several Midlands counties.
Search the county’s official custody source
Use the detention-center or Sheriff’s official inmate system. Compare more than just a name when additional identifiers are available.
Check whether the person is still detained
A dated ABC gallery can remain online after release. Current custody must be verified from the jail or detention authority rather than inferred from an older news page.
Follow the criminal case through court records
The arrest-stage charge is not necessarily the charge later prosecuted or the final disposition. Use the appropriate South Carolina court record when the outcome matters.
Richland County: Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center
Richland County states that the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center serves as an intake center for people held after arrest and houses both unsentenced detainees and some sentenced offenders. The official county page provides a public Detainee Lookup.

Lexington County Mugshots and Inmate Search
The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department provides an inmate-search route for inmates and booking photographs. A significant current limitation is that the department applies a one-day delay to inmate listings posted online.
Inmate information
Lexington County Sheriff’s Department inmate information line: 803-785-8230, option 2.
The Department also states that daily inmate rosters are available for review at its front desk.

Newberry County Bookings and 90-Day Inmate Records
Newberry County’s official detention guidance says its inmate website is intended to provide information about people in custody or released within the previous 90 days, consistent with South Carolina public-record requirements.
Newberry County Detention Center

Detention Center: 803-321-2141
How long information can remain online
The county says information is removed from the inmate website after 90 days from release, or earlier when an expungement order requires removal.
The county also states that underlying records can still be available through normal Freedom of Information Act procedures unless they have been expunged.
Kershaw County Inmate List and Detention Records
Kershaw County operates a public detention-center page with a county inmate list. An important organizational distinction is that the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office itself states that the Detention Center is not under Sheriff’s Office jurisdiction.

Why agency ownership matters
If you need the jail or inmate record, use the Detention Center. If you need an incident or arrest report created by a law-enforcement agency, the correct records custodian may instead be the agency that made the arrest.
Use South Carolina Court Records for the Later Case
An ABC gallery and county jail record describe the arrest or detention stage. When you need later criminal-case activity, identify the county and court that received the case and then use the South Carolina Judicial Branch or the appropriate county Public Index.
Serious criminal cases
General Sessions is the criminal side of South Carolina Circuit Court. A jail booking can lead to a General Sessions case, but the court docket—not the initial mugshot entry—is the better source for later filings and disposition.
Lower-level or local cases
Some charges proceed through Magistrate or Municipal Court rather than General Sessions. Use the court name shown on the booking, bond paperwork or later docket when possible.
Online record availability varies
Not every court record or document is necessarily public online. Sealed, confidential and certain restricted matters are excluded from public access.
Why an ABC Mugshot May Not Match the Current Jail Search
News galleries and detention databases serve different purposes and update on different schedules. A mismatch does not automatically mean either page is fabricated.
The person already left custody
An ABC article can remain online after release. Use the county’s historical booking options, court records or records-request process where appropriate.
The county intentionally delays online listings
Lexington County currently applies a one-day delay to its internet inmate listings, so a very recent arrest may not immediately appear online.
The official search is unavailable
Newberry County’s normal inmate-search service was temporarily unavailable at the time of this article’s review, demonstrating why a missing online result should not automatically be interpreted as no record.
You searched the wrong jail
A Midlands roundup can contain people from several jurisdictions. Recheck the county or arresting agency shown with the entry.
The person moved to another authority
A local jail entry can change after transfer to another county, state custody or another responsible facility.
The information is no longer publicly displayed
Sealed, expunged, juvenile or otherwise restricted information can be unavailable through ordinary public search tools.
