Conway Quick Facts
Conway 24 Hour Booking Process
The Conway Police Department handles arrests in the city. After an arrest, the person is taken to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Conway. The jail sits within city limits, which makes transport quick. Intake staff log the arrest into the system. They record the name, charges, and personal details. A booking photo is also taken at that time.
Bond is usually set within hours. A magistrate reviews the charges and decides the amount. Some charges have a set bond schedule. Others require a hearing. The bond amount becomes part of the booking record. Once bond is posted, the person is released. If bond is not posted, the person stays in the detention center until a court date.
Conway is one of many cities in Horry County that feeds into this system. Myrtle Beach, Socastee, and other areas all use the same jail. That means the J. Reuben Long Detention Center holds a large volume of booking records each day.

South Carolina law governs how arrest and booking data is shared. The publication statute sets rules on the release of booking photos and arrest information. The expungement law allows some records to be sealed under certain conditions. If a Conway arrest has been expunged, it will not appear in a search.
These state rules apply to all agencies in the state. Conway police, Horry County, and the detention center all follow them. They shape what shows up in a 24 hour booking search and what does not.
Note: Expunged records are removed from public view, but the process takes time after a court order is issued.
