Mail & Photos at Camille Griffin Graham

Addressing a Letter

Letters reach women here from the start of her sentence, whether she’s still in reception status or already assigned long-term. Address it:

[Her Legal Name]
[SCDC Number]
Camille Griffin Graham Correctional Institution
4450 Broad River Road
Columbia, SC 29210

Include your complete return address in the upper-left corner. All mail is opened and inspected before delivery; legal mail is the exception, opened in her presence instead.

Photos Wait Until After Intake

While she’s in reception and evaluation status, she cannot receive any photos, regardless of how many you send. This is the same restriction used at Kirkland R&E for men, tied to intake and restricted housing status generally, not specific to this facility. Once she’s classified and processed, whether she stays at this facility long-term or transfers elsewhere, the standard SCDC rule applies: up to 10 photos per envelope.

Publications Are Also Blocked During Intake

Inmates in intake status cannot receive any publications, including newspapers and magazines. Once she’s past that period, SCDC’s standard rules apply: books only from one of five approved vendors (Hamilton Book, Books N Things Warehouse, Books2Inmates, SureShot Books Publishing, or Barnes & Noble/Books-A-Million online orders only), paperback only, with proof of advance payment enclosed, effective Oct. 1, 2025. Magazines don’t need to come from those vendors but must be paid in advance and shipped directly from a verified subscription source.

Clippings and Printouts

Up to 5 pages of newspaper clippings, magazine clippings, crossword pages, or printed internet material (other than SCDC’s site) per envelope, provided the content isn’t questionable. This limit applies regardless of intake status.

What’s Never Allowed

Cash, stamps, writing materials, food, drinks, and tobacco can never be mailed to an inmate anywhere in SCDC, including here.

Once She’s Fully Processed

The photo and publication restrictions are tied specifically to intake status. As soon as classification finishes, whether she remains at this facility or transfers, the standard SCDC mail rules apply in full.
