Lansing Corrections Facility, KS

Visiting at Lansing Correctional Facility takes planning. All in-person visits must be scheduled at least 72 hours before the visitation week, and scheduling closes 72 hours before visitation begins. You'll need to be an approved visitor and get on the schedule through the online system at www.icsolutions.com or by contacting the facility Visitation Clerk. Each day has two visitation slots—morning and afternoon—and you can sign up for one or both to allow an all-day visit. If the scheduler shows every slot filled, don't travel; you won't be admitted. You can't sign up for multiple days on one weekend. Cancellations must be recorded in the online scheduler—missed visits could lead to suspension. Late arrivals may be allowed for the remaining time. Each resident may have up to four visitors, and a brief hug or embrace is allowed.

Communicating with someone at Lansing Correctional Facility involves two systems: ViaPath (GettingOut) for electronic messaging and ICS Corrections for phone calls. For messages, photos, or 30-second videos, create a ViaPath account at https://www.gettingout.com/kansas-doc/ or in the GettingOut app. You'll need to deposit at least $10 before you can send anything. Pricing is straightforward: electronic messages and photos cost $0.25 each, and 30-second video attachments cost $1.75. Printing and tablet entertainment have separate charges pulled from the resident's ViaPath balance. You can add funds electronically with no fee. For calls, residents can make collect or prepaid outgoing calls but can't receive incoming calls. Set up prepaid calling through ICS Corrections at 1-888-506-8407 or www.icsolutions.com. Calls (except attorney calls) may be monitored and recorded. Three-way calling and call forwarding aren't allowed.

Paying for a Lansing Corrections Facility resident's tablet content works through ViaPath/GettingOut (website or mobile app). This covers messages, photos, and short videos. That ViaPath balance is separate from money in the resident's trust account. Adding funds for trust-account spending? You can't do it through ViaPath—electronic trust deposits go through Access Corrections instead. ViaPath funds cover in-tablet items like messages, printable photos, and entertainment, while commissary and debit-phone purchases run through different channels. For trust or commissary deposits, stick to the facility's approved options (online/phone vendors, lobby kiosks, or mail) and double-check the resident's ID number before sending. If the resident is temporarily moved, deposits may be held until they return.
