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.
Read full guideTurbeville Correctional Institution handles virtual visitation through GTL's visitor portal. Start by creating an account at scdoc.gtlvisitme.com/app. Book your virtual visit at least three days in advance but no more than seven days out. Plans change? You can modify a visit up to two days before and cancel up to one day before through the vendor portal. Each session runs 50 minutes with a flat $10 fee charged when the visit begins. If the session ends early, you won't get a refund. All video visits are recorded and monitored. Prohibited behavior—including nudity or displaying drugs or weapons—can lead to immediate termination and disciplinary action. For phone-related issues, the facility directs you to vendor help lines for blocking numbers or setting up prepaid calling accounts.
