The Doris C. Gravat Detention Center at 435 Wire Road opened June 2002 and is now run by the Aiken County Sheriff's Office since 2004. It holds about 317 inmates, with population ranging from 260 to nearly 500 in recent years. Inmates are pretrial or serving sentences, with sentences under 90 days kept in the jail and longer terms and civil sentences over 90 days handled by the state or jail, respectively. Inmate mail is allowed but screened for contraband, and deposits to commissary can be made in person or online. Inmates are classified and housed in pods with regular evaluations, and privileges depend on classification. The supermax pool houses the most violent inmates with limited privileges, while other inmates have access to TV, phones, recreation, and commissary. Meals are prepared on-site at roughly 94 cents per meal, and no on-site cafeteria exists.
The Aiken jail provides 24 hour medical care with weekly doctor visits and biweekly dentistry, plus a weekly one hour inmate visitation system evolving toward video visits. Inmates can file medical requests at unit kiosks and access programs like AA NA and GED, while staff emphasize professional humane treatment.
