What you call a prepaid credit card is actually a secured credit card, I guess. A prepaid card is a sort of debit card, when you put money on a card account and then you can spend it without carrying cash.
As for secured credit card, it is not pre-paid, as you do not use the money you install. You secure your credit with your own money, this makes the bank feel free to issue some credit to you. In case you will not be able to pay off, the bank has a right to take the money you installed.
At the site I work at, the most popular secured credit cards are by First Premier and Orchard bank.
