Dillwyn Corrections Center, Va

Virginia prisons offer both in-person and video visits, though the specifics—contact vs. non-contact, scheduling windows, available days—depend on the facility and its security level. Check Dillwyn Corrections Center's current schedule before planning your trip. Video visits typically need to be booked at least 24 hours ahead and may open up to two weeks in advance. In-person scheduling varies by location. Before you can schedule anything, you'll need to submit a visitor application with background authorization and wait for approval. Out-of-state applications often take longer. Bring a valid government photo ID that matches your approved application exactly. Minors must be listed on an approved adult's application and visit with that adult. To add phone funds, use ConnectNetwork or call the vendor toll-free.

Dillwyn Corrections Center handles inmate phone service through ConnectNetwork (Global Tel*Link). Inmates are automatically enrolled when they enter VADOC custody. All calls are recorded and monitored—except properly verified attorney calls. If your loved one needs to block recording for an attorney number, they can request it in advance. Calls typically max out at 20 minutes unless the Director authorizes longer. Phone access may be suspended during counts or for security reasons. Each inmate maintains an approved call list of up to 15 numbers, which includes attorneys and investigator hotlines. Cell phones are treated the same as landlines. To help cover call costs, deposit money to a prepaid phone account through ConnectNetwork or the vendor's toll-free line using the inmate's state ID and PIN.

Start with the Virginia DOC inmate locator to search for someone at Dillwyn Corrections Center. This covers people in state custody—federal inmates or those held by other jurisdictions won't appear. Results typically show housing location, current charges, bail amount, and next court date, though public databases can lag or have gaps. To search, enter at least the person's full last name and first initial, or use their inmate ID if you have it. For deeper charge information and docketed adult case records, check the Virginia Courts website. Planning to call? VADOC uses ConnectNetwork by Global Tel*Link (GTL). Calls are recorded and monitored (except verified attorney calls) and generally capped at 20 minutes.

At Dillwyn Corrections Center (a VADOC facility), most account funding and phone services run through third-party vendors. To deposit money to an inmate's PIN/debit account via ConnectNetwork, select "VA" then "Department of Corrections" and enter the inmate's 7-digit state ID number. Phone service is operated by Global Tel*Link through ConnectNetwork. Scheduled phone hours vary by security level—check orientation materials or posted facility notices for current times. Special situations may require approval. For example, a marriage-ceremony call to an intended spouse's documented number needs Facility Unit Head approval using the Inmate Marriage Request (801_F1).
