Evans Correctional Institution Overview
South Carolina Department of Corrections lists Evans Correctional Institution under Marlboro County as Evans C.I. (ME), meaning a medium-custody male institution. The official SCDC institution listing identifies Frederick Hubbard as warden, gives the address as 610 Highway 9 West, Bennettsville, SC 29512, and lists the facility phone numbers as (843) 479-4181 and (803) 896-4900. SCDC also identifies the institution as opened in 1989.
Evans is not the Marlboro County jail. It holds sentenced South Carolina state prisoners, not every person recently arrested in Marlboro County. Someone may start in local custody at Marlboro County Detention Center, move through court, and later appear in the SCDC system if sentenced to state prison. Until that transfer occurs, the county jail and court-public-index path remain separate from Evans and SCDC records.
The official SCDC listing includes a broad set of education, work, religious, reentry, health-care, and service programs. It does not publish a current bed capacity or a facility-specific public visitation schedule in the captured institution text. That means users should rely on the SCDC locator for custody status and then confirm visiting, mail, phone, money, and schedule details through SCDC family resources and Evans staff before making plans.
The SCDC institutions page shows the Evans Correctional Institution listing used for this page.
The screenshot is useful because it ties Evans to SCDC, not to the county jail roster, and confirms that the prison's lookup and family-information rules should come from state corrections sources.
Evans Correctional Institution Capacity and Population
The research did not locate a current bed capacity or current facility population figure for Evans Correctional Institution on the captured SCDC institutions page. The official details located for this facility identify it as medium custody for male prisoners, with SCDC as the operator. The absence of a published capacity figure should not be filled with county jail historical data or BOP federal data. Those belong to different custody systems.
For population context, keep the categories distinct. Marlboro County's local jail statistics are historical county-level jail figures. FCI Bennettsville has current federal BOP population figures. Evans falls under SCDC and should be described through SCDC facility and inmate-search records only.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Evans Correctional Institution
Use the SCDC incarcerated inmate search for Evans Correctional Institution. The SCDC search is the correct system for sentenced South Carolina prisoners. It is not a replacement for the Marlboro County jail phone when the person is a recent arrestee, and it is not the BOP locator for federal custody.
- Open the SCDC incarcerated inmate search and choose at least one search criterion.
- Search by SCDC ID, SID, first name, last name, or phonetic match. The app code captured during research requires at least one criterion and treats short or nonnumeric SCDC ID entries as invalid.
- Review result rows for thumbnail photo when available, name, SCDC ID, sex, race, height, weight, and age. Results are limited to 250 entries.
- Open the detail report for location, offense, sentence, projected release date, and related state-prison fields.
- Confirm that the current institution is Evans Correctional Institution before using Evans visiting, mail, or phone rules.
SCDC also links a released-inmate list and a release-date calculator from its inmate-search menu. Use those for state-prison release questions, not county booking status.
Evans Correctional Institution Address and Contact
Evans contact information comes from the official SCDC institutions listing. Call the institution or SCDC before visiting because state-prison rules depend on approval, scheduling, institutional status, and current security conditions.

Visiting Someone at Evans Correctional Institution
For Evans, use SCDC family and institution rules rather than county jail rules. The research located SCDC family-information resources and the Evans institution listing, but no facility-specific Evans visiting schedule was published in the captured institution text. State-prison visitation may require approval and scheduling, and it can be affected by custody status, disciplinary status, special housing, staffing, public-health rules, or security incidents.
| Topic | Official Detail Located | Before You Travel |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visiting schedule | Not published in located official sources | Check SCDC family resources and call Evans |
| Visitor approval | SCDC controls state-prison visitation approval | Confirm approval status before departure |
| Visitor ID | Governed by current SCDC rules | Confirm required ID with SCDC or Evans |
| Dress code | Governed by current SCDC rules | Review current SCDC visitor instructions |
| Schedule changes | Institutional conditions may change access | Call before travel |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Evans Correctional Institution
SCDC controls state-prison mail processing, phone or tablet communication, and money deposit rules for sentenced prisoners. The Evans institution text did not publish a complete facility-specific mail or deposit table in the captured research, so the practical path is to confirm the person's SCDC ID and current location first, then use the current SCDC family-information pages for approved methods.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address format | Use current SCDC mail instructions and include the prisoner's correct SCDC identity information. |
| Phone / tablet services | Controlled by SCDC state-prison rules; verify current provider and availability through SCDC. |
| Money deposit | Controlled by SCDC family resources; verify current deposit method before sending funds. |
| Commissary | State-prison commissary access is governed by SCDC and institutional status. |
Admission and Classification at Evans Correctional Institution
Evans is a sentenced state-prison facility, so the process is not street-arrest booking. A person reaches SCDC after the criminal case has moved through court and a sentence or transfer places the person in state custody. Once SCDC receives the person, the state system controls reception, classification, institutional assignment, records, sentence calculation, release-date fields, visiting approval, and program access.
The SCDC search app may show current location, offense information, sentence length, and projected release-date fields. Those are state corrections records, not the same as a Marlboro County booking sheet. If a family member cannot find a person in SCDC, the explanation may be that the person is still in county custody, has not yet transferred, was released, is in a different system, or the search terms do not match SCDC records.
About Evans Correctional Institution
SCDC publishes extensive Evans program detail. The captured institution information references Palmetto Unified School District and Evans CI Adult Basic Education, WIN testing, SC Work Ready Credentials, soft skills, digital literacy certificates, GED preparation, TABE testing, barbering, on-the-job certificate programs, prison industries, religious services, Jumpstart Reentry Program, volunteer services, Kairos, Men's Fraternity, conflict resolution and anger-management classes, and recreational services.
The same SCDC detail references Medicated Assisted Treatment, Certified Peer Support Specialist programming, Northeastern Technical College opportunities, 2nd Chance Pell Grant opportunities, applied business administration or welding, ARC Welding, Flux Core Welding, Machine Tool, Workforce Science, forklift training, blueprint reading, and OSHA 10-hour BASIC for projected returning citizens. Health-care details include routine medical and dental care on site, 12-hour medical coverage, and a hospice program.
SCDC also identifies industry and community-service elements. The research notes a private-sector industry assembling electronic components and a Prison Industries program in which participants are trained and paid hourly by MidCon Cables to produce cable and wire harnesses. Evans also provides an inmate labor crew to the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, an Operation Behind Bars program for at-risk youth and adults, and video-conferencing for parole hearings with the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services.
Note: Confirm location in SCDC and verify visiting approval, schedule, mail, and deposit rules before traveling or sending funds.
