Turbeville is a town in Clarendon County, South Carolina, United States.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km2), all land.

The facility's website states the institution is intended for juveniles and younger adults from 18-25 (referred to as "Youthful Offenders") and that inmates frequently assist in cleaning up highways and other roads near Turbeville.

In 1840, Michael Turbeville bought 125 acres (51 ha) of land one mile north of the present town limits in Diles Bay and built a home on this property.

His brother, Clem, likewise bought land and built next to William.

Since their land was substantially covered with large pine trees, the brothers built a turpentine still which they ran for about 20 years.

They also built a large store where they carried on an extensive mercantile business for an even longer time.

The suit alleges that the town's "town safety" ordinances, which allows Turbeville to write traffic tickets with higher fines than state traffic tickets and keep the money from the citations, are illegal and should be repealed.
