Remote (video) visitation at Pamunkey Regional Jail runs seven days a week. The general availability window is about 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. That flexibility helps if you work weekdays, need to coordinate childcare, or are dealing with time zone differences.

Note: Each video visit lasts up to 30 minutes, so plan your call time accordingly.

Unavailable Times

  • 10:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
  • 2:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m.
  • 4:00 p.m.–5:30 p.m.

Tip: Even though visits generally run about 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., do not schedule inside the unavailable windows above.

The jail's internal schedule includes brief interruptions for meals and other activities. To avoid delays, build in a little buffer and aim for times outside the daily blackout windows.

  1. Pick a time outside the daily blackout windows. Avoid 10:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m., and 4:00 p.m.–5:30 p.m.
  2. Do the one-time setup ahead of your first visit. Remote visitation requires an initial setup, and the jail recommends allowing 1 to 3 days for approval and account setup before your first appointment.
  3. Create your GettingOut.com account before you try to schedule. You will need an account there to get started with video visits.

Reminder: Visits run until about 11:00 p.m., and each session lasts up to 30 minutes. If multiple people want to say hello, plan around that time limit.

Hit a snag during setup? Contact the jail's on-site ViaPath representative at 804-365-6400 ext. 3099. If this is your first time using the system, start 1 to 3 days before you want to visit so account approval and setup are not rushed.

Have a one-time emergency visitation need? Call Pamunkey Regional Jail at 804-537-6400 ext. 3013 (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Outside those hours, try 804-537-6400 ext. 3014 to ask about a special appointment.

If scheduling is tight, remember that video visits are available every day of the week. Most of the time, you can find a workable slot by staying within the 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. window and steering clear of the daily blackout times.
