This file is a comparative data sheet for the Inmate Package Program operated by the South Carolina Department of Corrections, presenting order volume data across 27 correctional facilities for the years 2019 and 2024. The document tracks quarterly order quantities by facility throughout each fiscal year, enabling analysis of inmate package program demand and utilization patterns across the state's prison system. In 2019, the program processed 21,649 total orders across all facilities, with Tyger River Correctional Institution generating the highest volume at 1,971 orders and Livesay Correctional A Camp generating the lowest at 107 orders. By 2024, overall program volume declined to 17,703 total orders, representing approximately an 18 percent reduction from 2019 levels, with Tyger River again leading at 1,355 orders and Palmer Pre Release Center recording the lowest at 38 orders.

The data reveals significant quarterly variability in both years, with 2019 showing relatively consistent demand across quarters (ranging from 5,212 to 5,664 orders) while 2024 demonstrates more pronounced fluctuations (ranging from 3,788 to 5,195 orders). Facility-specific trends indicate declining participation at many institutions, with notable reductions at facilities such as McCormick Correctional Institution (from 1,441 to 439 orders), Lieber Correctional Institution (from 1,254 to 494 orders), and Palmer Pre Release Center (from 197 to 38 orders). The comparative analysis suggests either reduced inmate populations, policy changes affecting package eligibility, or shifts in inmate participation rates across the correctional system between these five-year periods.
