Augusta Corrections Center, Va

Visiting someone at Augusta Corrections Center takes planning. Virginia facilities can offer in-person visits, video visits, or both, and contact vs. non-contact rules depend on the location and schedule. Visiting days, hours, and visit lengths are set by the facility—many use weekend time slots and may include some state holidays, but this varies. Confirm before you go. Most adults need to submit a visitor application and background authorization to the Central Visitation Unit and wait for approval. Out-of-state applications can take longer. Video visits typically require advance scheduling—often at least 24 hours, sometimes up to two weeks. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID that matches your application. List minors on the adult application, and follow the dress code and other on-site rules.

Phone service at Augusta Corrections Center runs through ConnectNetwork (Global Tel*Link). To receive calls, set up a prepaid account through the vendor or call toll-free support at 1‑800‑483‑8314 for help with collect calling. Inmates and CCAP probationers/parolees use an approved call list limited to 15 numbers. They manage the list through the auto-enrollment system by dialing *44. Your number won't activate until you complete the vendor's automated consent/verification process. Calls are monitored and recorded—except properly verified attorney calls, which require a recording block requested in advance. Calls are generally limited to 20 minutes, and access can be suspended during counts or emergencies.

To send money at Augusta Corrections Center, you'll typically use ConnectNetwork to fund an inmate's PIN Debit account. When depositing online, enter the inmate's 7-digit state ID number—this is required to credit the right account. Watch your own ConnectNetwork/AdvancePay activity too: accounts with 180 consecutive days of inactivity become inactive and are subject to forfeiture under a policy effective Dec 28, 2022. Before paying, double-check which account you're funding (commissary, phone, or tablet). Different account types often use separate vendor portals and can have different posting rules. If a deposit doesn't show up, contact the vendor and the facility's finance/commissary support to trace the payment and confirm posting times.

Contact procedures at Augusta Corrections Center follow VADOC operating procedures used across Virginia Department of Corrections facilities. For phone calls, the inmate calling system runs through ConnectNetwork (Global Tel*Link). Set up a prepaid account through the vendor, or call toll-free support at 1 (800) 483-8314 for help receiving calls.
