Turbeville Correctional Institution, SC

Use South Carolina's statewide inmate search at doc.sc.gov/inmate-search-disclaimer. SCDC doesn't run a separate lookup tool for each institution, so search by name there and confirm the listed location says Turbeville.

Non-contact. Turbeville is one of nine SCDC institutions (with Broad River, Kershaw, Kirkland, Lee, Lieber, McCormick, Perry, and Ridgeland) where all visits happen through plexiglass, not in person.

Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., scheduled in 2-hour blocks through the GTL scheduler at scdoc.gtlvisitme.com/app. You cannot show up without a scheduled visit.

Turbeville mainly houses men sentenced under South Carolina's Youthful Offender Act (YOA), for offenders roughly age 17 to 25 at sentencing. A YOA sentence works differently from a standard determinate sentence: instead of a fixed release date, the parole board reviews the case and release timing can depend on program participation and behavior, not only time served. It doesn't change how you visit, send money, or write, those all follow the same statewide SCDC rules on this page, but it does mean the release date you're expecting may not work the same way it would for someone sentenced as a standard adult offender.

Deposits go into the inmate's Cooper Trust Fund account through GTL/TouchPay Holdings. You can pay online, through the app, by phone, by money order, or in cash at retail locations like Walmart and Kroger. Since Nov. 3, 2025, money orders must include your Visitor ID Number and your name must match the visitor list exactly.

SCDC uses GTL/ConnectNetwork statewide, billed at a flat 5.5 cents per minute anywhere in the U.S. Since Turbeville houses medium-custody male inmates, calls are also subject to SCDC's overnight phone curfew, no calls between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m., in effect since Oct. 27, 2025.
