Columbia Work Camp

Anyone 12 or older visiting Columbia Work Camp must complete a visitation application. Only one application per person is allowed. Submit your completed form by e-mail or U.S. Mail to the institution, then wait until either the inmate or the facility notifies you of approval before making the trip. If you're 16 or older, bring a valid photo ID. All visitors and belongings are subject to searches. Refusing a search means a denied visit and possible loss of future visiting privileges. You may only bring authorized items: up to $50 in cash ($1, $5, $10, and $20 bills) for vending, one vehicle key (with restrictions), limited feminine hygiene items, and restricted infant supplies. Any prescription medications must be in their original labeled containers, with only the dose needed for the visit.

Phone calls at Columbia Work Camp go through AdvancePay prepaid calling. You fund your phone number so the incarcerated person can place outgoing calls using those funds. Set up and manage your account through ConnectNetwork. Enter your first and last name exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID, since it may need to match official visitation records. For help, ConnectNetwork customer service is available at (866) 732-9098. You can create an account or add funds at www.connectnetwork.com. If you need to mail correspondence related to the service, AdvancePay's service department address is PO Box 911722, Denver, CO 80291-1722. Florida facilities commonly offer multiple communication channels, and features and billing vary by vendor.

Money rules at Columbia Work Camp are straightforward once you know the limits. During visits, you may bring up to $50 in cash, but only in $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. That cash is strictly for vending machine snacks and beverages. You cannot hand money to inmates. To add funds to an offender's account, the facility accepts mailed money orders through JPay. Write the offender's name and DC number on the money order memo or "used for" line so the deposit gets applied correctly. Fill out all required fields legibly with valid contact information. Don't include letters or notes with the payment; they'll be discarded. Processing takes up to ten business days after JPay receives it.
