Northeast Ohio Corrections

All visits at Northeast Ohio Corrections require a reservation through the facility's online registration portal. Call the institution to confirm hours before you go—schedules can change. Once your visitation application is approved, register with GTL (ViaPath) at www.gtlvisitme.com to book your visits. To apply, complete the adult Visiting Application (DRC2096), sign the Declaration of Understanding (DRC2554) and General Visiting Instructions (DRC2274), and include a legible copy of your photo ID. You'll register at each visit and show bona fide identification at the door. On probation or parole? Include a permission letter from your officer. Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. ODRC rules prohibit contraband like cash and cell phones and set attire standards.

Northeast Ohio Corrections uses third-party vendors for phone calls and video communication. Once your visitation application is approved, register with GTL (ViaPath) at www.gtlvisitme.com to reserve visits through the facility's online portal. Reservations are required for all visits, so confirm visiting hours and any site-specific rules with the institution before traveling. Watch your ViaPath AdvancePay account activity: accounts go inactive and may be forfeited after 180 consecutive days without use. Refunds and account issues are handled through the vendor's customer service—keep your payment records. All calls, video sessions, and electronic messages are routinely monitored and recorded for security. Offsite video visits require a compatible device, a vendor account, and any required payment.

Starting Jan. 30, 2025, personal letters and cards for someone at Northeast Ohio Corrections must be mailed to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Mail Processing Center (OMPC): Ohio Dept. of Rehabilitation and Correction Mail Processing Center, 884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road, Youngstown, Ohio 44505. Having trouble with addressing or delivery? ODRC provides an OMPC email address and phone number for mail-processing questions. This OMPC routing applies to personal correspondence only—legal mail, business correspondence, and printed materials like magazines, newspapers, and books still go to the prison's physical mailing address. For ViaPath tablet repair payments, mail a deposit form and payment to ViaPath Technologies, PO Box 3023, Houston, TX 77253. Only approved visitors may send those payments.
