Can I send money to her during the reception intake period?
Yes. Money deposits aren't affected by the reception-period visitation restrictions. You can fund her Cooper Trust Fund account right away.
Sending CommissaryFive ways to fund a Cooper Trust Fund account, available even during intake.
Send photos and letters too
Money deposits aren’t affected by the reception-period visitation restrictions here. Every SCDC inmate, including a woman still going through intake, has a Cooper Trust Fund account you can fund right away through GTL/TouchPay Holdings.
Unlike in-person visits, which are blocked for the first 30 days during intake, Cooper Trust Fund deposits aren’t restricted by reception status. You can start sending money the moment she’s in SCDC custody.
Online. Go to web.connectnetwork.com/payments-support/trust-fund/ and choose “South Carolina Dept. of Corrections” as the facility, since SCDC manages trust fund deposits statewide, not per institution.
Mobile app. Download the free ConnectNetwork app for Android or iPhone/iPad.
Phone. Call (888) 428-1845 and follow the prompts, or reach a live agent 24/7 at (877) 650-4249.
Mail a money order. Send it with the required deposit slip to:
TouchPay Holdings SCDOC PO Box 649535 Dallas, TX 75264-9535
Make it payable to TouchPay Holdings, LLC, never to SCDC or the facility directly. Funds become available within three business days of TouchPay receiving it.
Walk in with cash. Start online or in the app, select “Walk-In Retail (Pay in Cash),” then complete the deposit with cash and the generated PaySlip at more than 26,000 retail locations nationwide.
Your name on the money order must exactly match the name on her approved visitor list, and you need to include your Visitor ID Number, found on the upper right of the visitation scheduling system at scdoc.gtlvisitme.com/app. Missing either requirement can get the money order returned unprocessed.
| Amount | Online | Phone | Money Order | Walk-in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.01–$50.00 | $4 | $5 | $0.00 | $4.95 |
| $50.01–$100.00 | $6 | $7 | $0.00 | $4.95 |
| $100.01–$200.00 | $8 | $9 | $0.00 | $4.95 |
| $200.01–$300.00 | $10 | $11 | $0.00 | $4.95 |
Physical care packages go through Access Securepak, SCDC’s approved package vendor, ordered by phone at 1-800-546-6283, online at southcarolinapackages.com, or by mail. This runs on scheduled ordering windows with posted limits, separate from the ongoing Cooper Trust Fund deposit process.
