How to Contact an Inmate at Marion Correctional Treatment Center
Staying in touch with someone at Marion Correctional Treatment Center? Your main options are video visitation (either from home or at a Visitor Center) and phone calls through the state's phone provider.
VADOC offers At-home Video Visitation, so you can connect from your own home computer, tablet, or Android smartphone. Before your scheduled time, make sure your device is supported and your internet connection is solid.
Don't have the right tech for home visits? VADOC also runs staffed Visitor Centers (AFOI Visitor Centers) around the state where you can do video visits. This is also a good option if your loved one doesn't qualify for At-home Video Visitation.
ID required (18+): If you are 18 or older, you must have a valid government-issued photo ID to participate in video visitation.
Phone calls for VADOC inmates go through ConnectNetwork by Global Tel*Link (GTL). All calls are recorded and monitored, except for properly verified attorney calls. Keep that in mind when deciding what to discuss.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Complete the VADOC online visitation application before you try to visit. Plan for about 20 to 30 minutes, and set aside time to finish it in one sitting since you cannot save it as a draft.
- ✓ If you are doing home internet video visitation, log into the GTL system 15 minutes before the visit start time.
- ✓ Choose your setup for video visits: use a home computer, tablet, or Android smartphone for At-home Video Visitation, or use a staffed Visitor Center if you do not have the needed technology at home (or if at-home visits are not an option for your loved one).
- ✓ If you are 18 or older, have your valid government-issued photo ID ready for video visitation.
- ✓ For phone contact, expect calls to run through ConnectNetwork by GTL. Assume calls are recorded and monitored unless it is a properly verified attorney call.
Before starting the visitation application, confirm that the online process is still how VADOC wants you to apply. Set aside 20 to 30 minutes to complete it. The form can't be saved as a draft, so you'll need to finish and submit it in one sitting.
Planning an At-home Video Visitation? Log into the GTL system 15 minutes before your visit start time. Confirm any additional steps for your device or setup beforehand.
For Visitor Centers, verify the practical details before making the trip. Confirm the center's hours, availability, and scheduling rules. Ask whether there are eligibility requirements for who can use a staffed Visitor Center.
Double-check before you go: Confirm which forms of government-issued photo ID are accepted for visitors 18+. If you need a properly verified attorney call, review the phone monitoring rules ahead of time.
