How to send messages, photos, and packages
Glossbrenner Unit offers remote video visits through Securus. Each session costs $10, lasts 60 minutes, and inmates are limited to one remote video visit per month. Schedule through the approved vendor or the agency visitation portal, following their booking and payment steps to lock in a time. When setting up a visitation-scheduler account, choose your email carefully—once registered, it can't be changed or deleted. You'll receive a validation email with a 7-digit code and a registration link to complete setup. Before traveling, confirm the inmate is assigned to Glossbrenner and has visitation privileges. Call the unit for final confirmation since listings update daily. Other communication options may be available depending on the unit.
