How to Send Money to Tyger River Correctional Facility, SC (SC)

ConnectNetwork Walk-In Retail is a reliable way to fund an SCDC phone or inmate trust account. You make a cash deposit at participating retail locations nationwide, including Walmart and Kroger. No mailing required. To get started, sign into your ConnectNetwork account (or create one). When making your deposit, choose the deposit type and select "Walk-In Retail (pay by cash)" as your payment method.

You can also mail a money order for an SCDC trust account deposit. Make it payable to "GTL Financial Services" and include a facility deposit form. Double-check the details on your form. Use the offender's full name and verify the offender ID, since mistakes slow things down. A few strict rules apply: the maximum is $300 per money order, it must be in U.S. dollars, and you should only mail the deposit form and money order. Don't include staples, paper clips, stamps, cash, letters, photos, or anything else.

Note: If phone calls are blocked, you can set up a PrePay account for inmate phone calls by calling 1-800-483-8314.
