The South Carolina Department of Corrections operates 21 institutions categorized into four distinct custody levels: close security, medium security, minimum security, and community-based prerelease work centers. These facilities are designed to meet the specific security, programming, medical, educational, and work requirements of inmates based on their designated custody classifications.
Minimum security facilities house nonviolent inmates with shorter sentences, while medium and close security facilities provide higher levels of security for offenders with more serious classifications. The department also emphasizes rehabilitation through various programs, including education, vocational training, and community service initiatives aimed at preparing inmates for successful reintegration into society.
