Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Ely State Prison uses the GettingOut platform for electronic communication. To send messages, photos, or 30-second video clips, or to schedule video visits, create a gettingout.com account. Everything sent or done through GettingOut, including video visits, is monitored and recorded. Attorneys who need non-recorded exceptions for video visits or calls should create a GettingOut account and email ViapathNVTechs@viapath.com with their name, address, phone numbers, and BAR number. Phone access can also be restricted by NDOC, including limits on call length, call hours, number of calls, monitoring or recording, and blocking certain number types. Calls may be billed to the person receiving the call depending on their phone provider. Offenders can also use NDOC Trust funds to buy debit calling time through the facility's Offender Services Commissary Section.
