Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Metropolitan Detention Center uses GTL for video visitation, so you'll need an online GTL account before scheduling a visit. During signup, GTL asks for your name, address, phone number, email, and a password. One key detail: your first name must match your government-issued ID exactly, or you could face delays. The whole process typically takes less than five minutes. Already using GTL for inmate tablet messaging? You can use the same login for video visits. No separate visitation account needed. Your password must be at least eight characters and include one number, one uppercase letter, and one lowercase letter. Once your account is active, you can schedule visits online during the facility's normal visitation hours. Be ready to show ID when requested.
