Leath Correctional Institution is a South Carolina Department of Corrections facility housing female inmates in Greenwood, SC. Commissary spending limits at SCDC facilities are set by the department and can vary based on an inmate's custody level and disciplinary status.

The most accurate and current spending limit for Leath specifically is best confirmed by calling the facility directly, as these limits are subject to change and can differ from what is posted publicly. Generally speaking, South Carolina DOC facilities impose weekly or biweekly spending caps that typically fall somewhere in the range of $50 to $100 depending on classification, though that number can shift based on policy updates or an individual inmate's status.

If your person has a clean disciplinary record they are more likely to be at the higher end of whatever limit applies. Inmates with recent incident reports or restricted housing status often have commissary privileges reduced or suspended entirely.

The facility's case manager or counselor can give your person the specific limit that applies to their current status, and that is the most reliable source for an accurate number. Calling the facility directly at the main number for Leath Correctional in Greenwood will also get you that information from the administrative side if you prefer to confirm it from the outside.
