How to send messages, photos, and packages
On-unit video visits at Dodge Correctional Institution must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance but no more than seven days out. They're not available for RHU residents. Each visit runs 25 minutes, and you may need to show photo ID when it starts. Under DOC policy, each person in custody gets one free video visit per week. General Population residents can purchase up to 12 additional 25-minute visits per month (about $2.50 each) if facility operations allow. If either you or the resident is more than 10 minutes late, the visit cancels automatically. For tablet messaging, DOC is transitioning services to ICSolutions. Set up a GettingOut (GTL) account, but don't close your CorrLinks account until DOC says to.

Scheduling a visit at Dodge Correctional Institution (DCI) is straightforward once you know the system. You'll book through ICSolutions, need a Party ID from the person you're visiting, and should plan ahead—visits must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.
DCI uses an on-unit video visiting system with specific scheduling windows, time limits, and ID checks. Know the rules ahead of time—especially the Party ID requirement and the 10-minute late cutoff—and you'll avoid the most common last-minute problems.
