Contact Visits at Camille Graham: What Families Need to Know

Camille Graham Corrections Center is part of South Carolina Department of Corrections' shift to contact visits. What does that mean for you? No plexiglass booth. You can sit with your loved one face to face.

Here's the catch: contact visits can be revoked. SCDC has been clear - if visitors bring in contraband, the facility could switch back to non-contact visits behind plexiglass. One person's mistake doesn't just affect them. It can change visitation for everyone at Camille Graham.

• ✓ Treat contact visits like a privilege that can be lost facility-wide if contraband becomes an issue.
• ✓ Don’t bring contraband - being caught can trigger a return to non-contact (plexiglass) visits at Camille Graham.
• ✓ Don’t “hold” or “carry” anything for someone else into the facility; you’re the one responsible if it’s found.
• ✓ If you’re unsure whether an item is allowed, leave it behind rather than risking a contraband incident.
• ✓ Remember the personal stakes: anyone caught bringing contraband into SCDC will be arrested and banned from visiting again.
