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.
