Proudly promoting Safety, Service, and Stewardship.
About us
Safety, Service, Stewardship The mission of the South Carolina Department of Corrections is: Safety--we will protect the public, our employees, and our inmates. Service--we will provide rehabilitation and self-improvement opportunities for inmates. Stewardship--we will promote professional excellence, fiscal responsibility, and self-sufficiency. About SCDC The original correctional system in South Carolina was established in 1866 when the South Carolina Legislature passed an act that created the first state-level prison for felons that were housed in county facilities. In 1960, the Governor of South Carolina decided to end the abuses of the correctional system and therefore created a new state agency. The agency was named the South Carolina Department of Corrections. Today, the Department of Corrections is still a state agency, reporting directly to the governor. The Department of Corrections currently has some 4,900 employees, just under 20,000 inmates, and operates 21 institutions.

Helping men experience the joy of fatherhood. South Carolina Department of Corrections began a program to help incarcerated dads connect with their children through the Riley’s Readers program established by Riley Institute at Furman University and funded by South Carolina Department of Social Services. We were delighted to meet these dads at the Father’s Day event on Friday. #thejoyoffatherhood #servemoredadsbetter
