How to send messages, photos, and packages
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.
