Kirkland Correctional Institution schedules virtual visits through the GTL portal at scdoc.gtlvisitme.com, where you can register, sign in, and book or manage visits. Anyone on the inmate's approved visitation list can request a virtual visit, but each visitor needs their own account at scdoc.gtlvisitme.com/app—use the exact name shown on the approved list. Up to four approved visitors can join a virtual visit; approved minor children count toward that limit and must be accompanied by an approved adult. Visitors 10 and older must show photo ID to the visitation coordinator, while children under 10 need a certified long-form birth certificate. For technical or account issues, call GTL Visitor Support at 1-855-208-7349. Visitation-list or name-change questions go to VirtualVisitation@doc.sc.gov.
