How to Visit Leath Correctional Institution, SC (SC)
Visiting someone at Leath Correctional Institution comes down to getting the scheduling and ID requirements sorted ahead of time. Here's what you need to know for both in-person and virtual visits.
Visits at Leath Correctional Institution are scheduled through the SCDC/GTL scheduling website. You'll register for an account first, then log in to request a visit. One thing before you start booking: make sure you're on the inmate's approved visitation list. Only approved visitors can use the scheduler.
Virtual visits run through GTL, and each participant needs their own account. Sessions cost $10 for 50 minutes. That charge kicks in when the visit begins, and it stays at $10 even if the visit ends early.
Important: If you can't make a scheduled visit, cancel at least 48 hours in advance. Otherwise, it still counts toward the inmate's monthly visit total. For virtual visits, approved visitors age 10 and older will need to show photo ID, and approved children under 10 need a certified long-form birth certificate. Be in front of your device 15 minutes before the virtual visit start time.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Register on the SCDC/GTL scheduling website, then log in to schedule your visit.
- ✓ Confirm you are on the inmate’s approved visitation list before you try to schedule.
- ✓ For virtual visits, set up an account at scdoc.gtlvisitme.com.
- ✓ Make sure each person who will join the virtual visit has their own GTL account.
- ✓ Have photo ID ready for approved visitors age 10 and older (virtual visits).
- ✓ For approved children under 10, have a certified long-form birth certificate ready as identification (virtual visits).
- ✓ Be in place in front of your device 15 minutes before the virtual visit is scheduled to start.
- ✓ If you need to cancel a scheduled visit, cancel at least 48 hours ahead of time so it does not count toward the inmate’s monthly visit total.
- ✓ Expect a flat $10 charge for a 50-minute virtual visit, charged when the visit begins.
- ✓ If the virtual visit ends early for any reason, the cost is still $10 (it is not prorated).
Before you plan your day around a visit, double-check that the SCDC/GTL scheduling process hasn't changed and that virtual visit accounts are still set up through scdoc.gtlvisitme.com. It's also worth confirming the current virtual visit pricing and session length ($10 for 50 minutes), since fees and policies can shift.
Confirm the cancellation window (48 hours) so a missed visit doesn't accidentally count against the inmate's monthly total. If you're visiting with kids, verify the ID requirements ahead of time: photo ID for approved visitors age 10 and older, and a certified long-form birth certificate for approved children under 10 (for virtual visits). And remember the 15-minute early arrival recommendation for virtual visits so you have time to get set up before the session starts.
