Topic Overviews

Visitation

Before visiting Turbeville Correctional Institution, you'll need approval. Starting June 1, 2025, most adults with a valid South Carolina driver's license can register online. Paper applications are still available for minors or adults without SC ID. The process begins when the inmate sends SCDC Form 19‑127 to prospective visitors—once approved, you're added to their visiting list. Every visit must be scheduled through the SCDC/GTL scheduler on the agency website at least 15 hours ahead. Arrive no more than 30 minutes before your time slot. General population inmates with privileges get up to four in-person visits per month (one per weekend). Closed-security inmates without restrictions may have one per week. Weekend sessions run 8–10am, 11am–1pm, and 2–4pm—each lasting two hours with up to four visitors (at least one adult required). Anyone 10 or older needs photo ID. Level II/III visitors 18+ may be pat/frisk searched. Vending machines are card-only.
