Madison Correctional Facility uses GTL's visitor platform for remote video visits. Register at gtlvisitme.com, add the incarcerated person, then choose an available date and time. The booking screen shows the visit cost before you confirm, and payment is required at scheduling. Current rates are $3.30 for a 10-minute session and $8.25 for a 25-minute session. You can pay with debit cards, charge cards, or Visa/Mastercard gift cards. Dress standards still apply—wear a shirt, bottoms, appropriate undergarments, and limit head coverings. Tablet and video messaging services may charge per use, and some tablet accessories must be purchased through commissary.

ViaPath (GTL) lists $3.30 for a 10-minute remote video visit and $8.25 for a 25-minute remote video visit. The fee is shown during scheduling and charged at booking.
You can pay with a debit card, a charge card, or a Visa/Mastercard gift card. Card payment is required when you schedule through the vendor portal.
No. All general (non-legal) correspondence is copied in black and white by the facility mail room, and the incarcerated person will not receive the original paper.
Include the inmate’s full name, DOC number, the facility name, and a complete street address or PO Box with city, state, and ZIP on every letter.
Mail from courts, attorneys, and legal organizations is treated as legal mail and must be identified as legal by the sender. Legal mail is handled differently than general correspondence.
