How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Pendleton Correctional Facility handles visitation registration through the GTL/ViaPath system. You'll need a valid email address because the portal sends your initial password and visitation notifications there. Registration follows a set workflow: Log On Information, Personal Information, Personal Identification, a Professional visitor request option (if needed), Search for Inmate, and Confirmation. Before you can schedule, visitors typically must be approved first. In most Indiana facilities, that means completing the state visitation application, passing background and warrant checks, and being added to the inmate's approved visitor list. Visits may be in-person or by video, so follow the portal and facility instructions closely. For video visits, sign in early and test your camera, audio, and connection before the visit starts.

A Trust Fund deposit puts money into an incarcerated person's account at Pendleton. They can use it like cash to buy items through commissary—snacks, hygiene products, and other basics the facility allows.
