How to send messages, photos, and packages
Garden State Youth Correctional Facility runs videoconferencing Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. To schedule a session, complete a VTC request form and fax it to the facility VTC coordinator (or designee) at least 48 hours (two or more business days) before your requested time. The form asks whether your agency will fax documents to the inmate on the day of the conference. Legal interviews use the Client/Attorney Interview reason code (code 25). Out-of-state agencies must confirm any Interstate Compact conflicts before proceeding. Video-link communications are privileged and confidential—state-sentenced inmates must be advised of confidentiality and sign an Inmate Consent Form. Inmates appear alone in a sound-dampened booth; no additional person may be present unless properly acknowledged. The VTC system can receive incoming faxes, but inmates cannot send faxes.
