Wateree River Corrections Institution, SC

Wateree River Corrections Institution manages visitation through the SCDC/GTL VisitMe portal (scdoc.gtlvisitme.com), where you can register, log in, schedule, and manage visits. Starting June 1, 2025, adults 18+ with a valid South Carolina driver's license can register online. Minors and some adults will need to use paper applications instead. All visits, both virtual and in-person, must be scheduled through GTL. In-person visits require at least 15 hours' notice and run in 2-hour blocks between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. where visitation is available. General population inmates with visitation privileges can receive one visit per weekend and up to four in-person visits per month, with up to 15 approved visitors on their list. For help, call 803-896-1838 or email visitation@doc.sc.gov.

Communication at Wateree River Corrections Institution runs mostly through third-party vendors. That means you'll manage phone service, video visits, scheduling, and tech support through vendor portals or help lines, not directly through the facility. If an inmate's calls are blocked or you have questions about courtesy limits or account limits, call 1-866-230-7761. GTL also offers a PrePay option as an alternative to collect calls. To set one up, call 1-800-483-8314. Before trying to schedule remote or in-person video visits, make sure the inmate can receive remote communication and that you're on their approved visitor or contact list. Vendor systems typically require identity verification and advance booking, and some schedules require you to book hours or days ahead.

Wateree River Corrections Institution accepts mailed money orders through GTL. You must include the required GTL money order deposit form with every payment. Make the money order payable to "GTL Financial Services" and mail it along with the completed form to GTL Financial Services, 10005 Technology Blvd West, Suite 130, Dallas, TX 75220. Trust deposits must be in U.S. dollars and cannot exceed $300 per money order. If you prefer an electronic option, ConnectNetwork deposits (via website, app, phone, or kiosk) usually reach the facility within one business day. Mailed deposits are processed the next business day after the processor receives them. Deposit fees vary by facility, so sign in to your ConnectNetwork account to check fees and confirm account details before sending funds.
