When Can You Video or Remote Visit? Pamunkey Regional Jail's Remote Visitation Hours and Unavailable Times
Trying to schedule a remote (video) visit with someone at Pamunkey Regional Jail? Timing matters. Here are the general hours, daily blackout windows to avoid, and a few ways to keep your visit from getting cut short.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
