How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Perry Correctional Facility uses the GTL/VisitMe system for scheduling and managing visits. Every visit must be booked through GTL at least 15 hours ahead. Starting June 1, 2025, most adults 18 and older with a valid South Carolina driver's license can register online—paper applications can still be mailed to the Division of Visitation. Can't make a scheduled visit? Cancel at least 48 hours in advance, or the missed visit counts against the inmate's monthly total. Visitors 18+ entering Level II and Level III institutions must submit to a pat/frisk search (female visitors are searched by female employees). Children 10 and older need a government-issued photo ID; kids 9 and under need a long-form birth certificate. Inmates are limited to one visit per weekend and up to four per month, with up to 15 approved visitors. Arrive early for check-in and test your devices before virtual visits.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
