COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Some South Carolina prisons will allow in-person visits this month, more than a year after officials canceled visitations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Visitation will resume June 19 for vaccinated inmates at four minimum security institutions across the state, the South Carolina Department of Corrections announced in a news release Wednesday.
Visitors at these facilities must test negative for COVID-19 within three days of the visit, or provide a card indicating they have completed their coronavirus vaccine shots. The one-on-one visits must be scheduled ahead of time and are limited to an hour a week.
