SCDPPPS would never call family members of incarcerated individuals to request money for early inmate release. If you receive a scam call, contact local law enforcement and report it to the FTC.
Eric found himself unexpectedly released from the Clean Slate program due to falling behind on payments—a circumstance beyond his control, as his disability check had been temporarily suspended with reinstatement not expected until June. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Agent Miller took swift and decisive action to ensure that this individual had a place to stay.
Agent Miller contacted the Region 4 RPA to arrange Emergency Hotel accommodations and promptly completed all necessary paperwork. When it became apparent that hotels in Sumter would not accept over-the-phone payments, Agent Miller personally transported Eric and his belongings to Florence after hours so that payment could be made in person.
During the journey, Agent Miller made sure Eric had something to eat, stopping to gather a few food items to sustain him for the next couple of nights. This thoughtful gesture not only provided shelter but also ensured basic comfort and dignity during this critical transition. Agent Miller arranged transportation for Eric to his new Sex Offender housing provider, bringing this initiative full circle through seamless collaboration.
This is not the first instance of Agent Miller stepping up in such a manner—this marks the third successful use of Emergency Hotel accommodations to ensure that offenders are well cared for. Agent Miller’s initiative and heartfelt service truly reflect our mission in action.
