Livesay Corrections Facility, SC

Visiting at Livesay Corrections Facility takes a few steps, but it's manageable once you know the process. Starting June 1, 2025, adults 18+ with a valid South Carolina driver's license can register for visitation online. Paper applications are still available for adults without a SC license (including out-of-state IDs), minors, and anyone with computer access issues. These can be mailed to the Division of Visitation. Every visit must be scheduled at least 15 hours in advance through the GTL scheduler. If you don't cancel at least 48 hours ahead, that visit counts toward the inmate's monthly total. Up to four visitors can attend at one time (one must be an adult). General population inmates with visitation privileges get four in-person visits per month, limited to one per weekend.

Virtual visits at Livesay Corrections Facility are only available to people on the inmate's approved visitation list. To get added or updated, the inmate must initiate the change using SCDC Form 19-127. Once approved, schedule your visit within the required window: at least 3 days and no more than 7 days in advance. You can attempt changes 2 days ahead and cancel up to 1 day ahead. Test your device and connection before the session. All visits are recorded and monitored, and the rules are strict: no nudity or sexual activity, no gang paraphernalia, no unauthorized people on camera, and no drugs, alcohol, weapons, or other unlawful activity. Visitors age 10+ need photo ID. Children under 10 need a certified long-form birth certificate. Virtual visits cost $0.16 per minute ($8 for 50 minutes) as of Feb 1, 2025.

To send money to someone at Livesay Corrections Facility, use ConnectNetwork (GTL), which handles AdvancePay, trust-account deposits, and electronic messaging for SCDC friends and family. You can deposit online, by phone, at lobby kiosks, through walk-in retail or money-transfer services, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check following the provider's required account format. Online, phone, and kiosk deposits typically post quickly. Mailed deposits take longer because processing doesn't start until the payment arrives. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready when making an online or kiosk deposit to avoid delays. If you receive correctional collect calls, the phone vendor may impose a courtesy credit limit (1-866-230-7761) and offers a PrePay program if needed (1-800-483-8314).
