Visiting someone at Bellamy Creek Corrections Facility starts with the Michigan DOC Visitation Scheduling system, hosted by ViaPath. Register first, then wait for your visiting application to be approved before trying to book anything. Once approved, you can schedule in-person or video visits through the ViaPath portal. MDOC rules allow up to two separate visits with the same prisoner on the same day. Visiting blocks typically follow MDOC patterns: longer weekday blocks and shorter weekend blocks, though visits can be restricted during medical quarantines or other operational changes. Video visits run 20 minutes and cost $3.20 per session, paid in advance. Log into the ViaPath Visitor Website about 10 minutes early and have an acceptable government-issued photo ID ready for verification.

You can set up AdvancePay at web.connectnetwork.com or by phone with the vendor, then add funds using the vendor's instructions. Videophone calls are limited to 30 minutes and currently free. Michigan DOC distinguishes Videophones (primarily for deaf or hard-of-hearing incarcerated people) from standard video visitation. Videophones are initiated by the incarcerated person through the vendor app with matching account details. To schedule in-person or video visits, register on the Michigan DOC Visitation Scheduling site (ViaPath) and get your visiting application approved first. Keep in mind that non-legal calls and video visits may be monitored or recorded.
