Toledo Correctional Institution, OH

Every visit at Toledo Correctional Institution requires a reservation. Call the institution or email the visitation address to reserve your spot and confirm visiting hours before you go. Once your visitor application is approved, register with GTL VisitMe to schedule your appointments. Applications must include a legible copy of your photo ID, and incomplete or falsified answers can get you disapproved. Each incarcerated person may list up to 15 approved adult visitors, with no more than two friends on that list. Minor children don't count toward the 15-person limit. Leave prohibited items at home: cell phones, smart watches, purses, backpacks, weapons, cash, and other electronic devices aren't allowed. Some infant carriers and medical devices may be permitted after a search, and medications must be logged.

Toledo Correctional Institution uses ViaPath for electronic correspondence. Messages sent through ViaPath are not confidential, so attorneys should not use it for legal communication. Like other Ohio facilities, Toledo monitors and records calls, video sessions, and electronic messages for security. Phone, tablet, messaging, and video services run through third-party vendors, and account setup, payment options, and technical rules vary by vendor. Planning an in-person visit or video session?

Before sending money, have the incarcerated person's full name and ID number ready. Confirm the facility's approved deposit channels so you don't fall for a scam.
