How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Everything starts with ViaPath. Create an account and get approved before you can schedule any visit—in-person or online. Applications use State Form 14387 and go through facility staff. When booking, double-check the time: ViaPath displays schedules in Eastern Time. Visitors 16 and older need an accepted photo ID and will go through criminal background and warrant checks. Active warrants get reviewed by facility investigators, and local law enforcement is notified as appropriate. Be accurate on your application—falsifying information gets you banned from all correctional facilities for one year. Trafficking contraband? That gets referred to Indiana State Police with prosecution recommended, and can mean a permanent ban. For video visits, sign in 15 minutes early. For on-site video, arrive 15 minutes early with valid photo ID and follow dress standards: shirts or blouses, appropriate bottoms and undergarments, no hats unless for religious reasons.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
