    DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) — The W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center in Darlington has been on lockdown since last Friday night when a lightning strike caused a power surge, damaging a piece of equipment.

He added that he hoped the system would have been repaired by now, but it appears it'll be fixed later on Thursday or Friday morning.
