Horry County Mugshots, Arrest Photos & Booking Information
For recent Horry County, South Carolina bookings, start with the county’s official Bookings and Releases search for the J. Reuben Long Detention Center. It lets you search booking records by last name and date fields, making it the most direct county route for checking whether someone was booked or released.
Use a booking record as a starting point, not as proof that someone committed a crime. An arrest, charge, booking entry or photograph does not establish guilt, and a person’s court case can change after the jail record is created.
Search Horry County Bookings First
The county booking application covers individuals booked at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center. Search results can change as people are booked, released or records are updated, so check the data-collection timestamp shown by the county before treating a result as current.
How to Search Horry County Mugshots and Booking Records
The county’s booking tool provides fields for a last name, booking date and release date. Begin with the least restrictive search that reasonably identifies the person, then add dates if the initial results are too broad.
What a Horry County Booking Record Can Tell You
Booking information is created when a person enters the detention process. Horry County states that people processed at J. Reuben Long are fingerprinted and photographed during booking. Publicly displayed information can differ by record, and availability online should not be confused with the complete official case file.
Booking information
Look for the person’s recorded name, booking date and custody-related information. These details are useful for confirming that you have the intended individual.
Charges
A charge describes an accusation recorded in the criminal justice process. It is not the same as a conviction, guilty plea or final court disposition.
Release information
A release entry can help determine whether the person left J. Reuben Long custody, but it does not by itself explain every later court requirement or custody transfer.
How Bond Information Works at J. Reuben Long
Horry County’s detention center publishes separate bond guidance. Magistrate judges handle many bond matters, while certain serious charges require a Circuit Court judge in General Sessions Court. The county specifically identifies murder, accessory before the fact of murder and criminal sexual conduct with a minor among charges for which a magistrate cannot set bond.
County guidance says bond hearings and guilty pleas commonly occur around 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., but schedules can change. Confirm with the Magistrate’s Office at (843) 915-5145 before traveling.
Horry County says the Magistrate’s Office accepts cash, money orders and major credit cards for applicable cash or surety bond transactions. Personal checks are not accepted, and cash payments require the exact amount.
Some bondable pay offenses may qualify for the county’s “Cash and Dash” process without appearing before a magistrate first. The person still must appear on the court date shown on the ticket. Booking can confirm eligibility at (843) 915-6911.
Use Court Records to Check What Happened After Booking
If your question is whether a charge was dismissed, remains pending, led to a plea or resulted in another court action, do not stop at the mugshot or jail entry. Horry County’s Clerk of Court and the South Carolina court system are the appropriate next places to investigate the case.
Horry County Clerk of Court
The Clerk of Court handles Horry County court records and maintains separate contact lines for General Sessions and other divisions. The main Conway office is at 1301 Second Ave., Conway, SC 29526.
General Sessions Court
General Sessions handles adult felony and misdemeanor criminal cases within its jurisdiction. Horry County is part of South Carolina’s 15th Judicial Circuit.

For time-sensitive detention-center business, the county advises calling rather than relying on email outside normal business hours.
Visitation, Money, Mail and Inmate Communications
Once you confirm that a person is at J. Reuben Long, use the detention center’s own inmate-service pages. Communications changed to NCIC Correctional Services beginning in November 2025, so older third-party instructions may no longer match the county’s current process.
Video visitation
J. Reuben Long uses video visitation for both on-site and remote visits. Visitors must set up an NCIC account, obtain approval and schedule in advance. The county states that on-site visits are free and inmates may receive a combined total of four on-site and remote visits per week.

Depositing money
The detention center provides several inmate-account routes. Its lobby kiosk charges a published $3 service fee. The county also lists an online McDaniel Supply route, USPS money orders or qualifying checks mailed to the Cashier’s Office, and Western Union instructions.

Commissary timing
General-population commissary orders are processed twice weekly. The county currently lists processing on Monday and Thursday mornings, with deliveries generally on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Funds need to be available before the applicable order is processed.
Physical mail
Ordinary personal mail is sent to an off-site processing center in Texas for scanning and electronic delivery. The county currently instructs senders to address qualifying personal mail as follows:
Inmate NameAcct#
J Reuben Long Detention Center
PO BOX 591
Longview, Texas 75606
- Include the inmate’s name and inmate account number.
- Include a return address.
- Current general correspondence is limited to five pages.
- Write only on the front of pages because the scanning process is front-side only.
- The county currently allows a maximum of one photo per physical mailing.
Victim Services and Release Notification
Victims who need incarceration, bond or release information can contact the Victim Services team at J. Reuben Long at (843) 915-6915. Horry County says that office also coordinates certain bond hearings and proceedings when victim notification is required.
The county participates in South Carolina Victim Information and Notification, commonly identified by Horry County as SAVIN. The system receives information from the detention center’s booking system and can provide qualifying release notifications by phone, text or email after registration.
A Booking Search Is Not a Warrant Search
An active warrant and a completed jail booking are different events. Horry County Sheriff’s Office manages the filing and service of criminal warrants and lists its Warrant Division at (843) 915-8347.
If a person does not appear in the booking search, do not infer from that alone that there is no warrant. Likewise, a historical mugshot does not show whether a new warrant currently exists.
Release Information and Sentences at J. Reuben Long
Horry County says inmates sentenced to 90 days or less on criminal charges, as well as certain Family Court sentences, may serve those sentences at J. Reuben Long. Its classification department calculates applicable sentence time.
The detention center states that sentence-time information is updated daily after 2:00 p.m. The county also publishes separate rules concerning work credits and good-time credits, but individual calculations depend on the person’s sentence and eligibility.

Need More Than a Mugshot or Jail Booking?
The Horry County Sheriff’s Office publishes a separate local records-check service. The office says local record checks are available free of charge during designated weekday hours, and a signed, notarized waiver is required when requesting records for another individual.
A local records check, jail booking search and statewide background check are not interchangeable products. Choose the source based on the question you actually need answered.

Why You May Not Find the Horry County Booking You Expected
Recheck spelling and remove unnecessary filters. Search using the last name exactly as it may have been recorded at booking.
Add a booking or release date and compare available identifiers instead of guessing from the photograph.
Check the dates carefully. A historical record does not show that the person is currently incarcerated.
Check the court record. Charges can be amended, dismissed or handled differently after the initial booking entry.
Confirm the arresting jurisdiction. Myrtle Beach, another municipality, another county, state authorities or federal authorities may require a different route.
Check the data timestamp in the county application and call J. Reuben Long at (843) 915-5140 or Booking at (843) 915-6911 when timely confirmation is important.
Use Mugshot and Arrest Information Responsibly
Booking photographs are easy to interpret as a final judgment even though they document an earlier point in a legal process. Charges may later be changed or dismissed, and another person with a similar name can be mistaken for the subject of the search.
- Confirm identity with multiple details.
- Keep the booking date attached to screenshots or notes.
- Do not describe a charge as a conviction.
- Check court records before stating a case outcome.
- Do not treat an old booking photo as proof of current custody.
- Use official sources when accuracy matters.
