How to Set Up Your First Video Visit at Prince William - Manassas Detention Center
Getting set up for your first video visit comes down to three things: register, get approved, and show up on time. Here's how it works at Prince William - Manassas Detention Center.
Prince William - Manassas Detention Center uses video visitation only - no in-person contact visits. Each inmate gets one video visit per week, so plan ahead and pick a time that works for both of you.
Before you can schedule anything, you’ll need to register online through the facility’s GTL visitation site at http://princewilliamva.gtlvisitme.com. During registration, you’ll select which inmate(s) you want to visit, and your request will be reviewed before you can book a time.
Tip: Finish your online registration first, then wait for approval - scheduling typically isn’t available until your request is approved.
Once approved, you can schedule your video visit. Visit length depends on the inmate's custody level: maximum custody gets 20 minutes, medium/minimum custody gets 30 minutes, and inside/outside workers may have 60-minute visits. The time options you see should match the person's status.
- ✓ If the inmate is Maximum custody, plan on a 20-minute visit.
- ✓ If the inmate is Medium/Minimum custody, plan on a 30-minute visit.
- ✓ If the inmate is an inside/outside worker, look for a 60-minute option.
- ✓ If you’re not sure which category applies, confirm the custody level with the inmate before you schedule so you pick the right length.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled visit. That buffer gives you time to check in without feeling rushed.
- ✓ Bring valid photo identification for check-in.
The standard limit is one video visit per week. Need a second visit? The detention center sometimes allows you to purchase an extra visit when space is available - but it's an add-on option, not a guarantee.
- Confirm you’re approved before trying to book - registration happens online at http://princewilliamva.gtlvisitme.com, and scheduling comes after approval.
- Match the visit length to custody level - Maximum custody is 20 minutes; Medium/Minimum is 30 minutes; inside/outside workers may have 60 minutes.
- Arrive at least 15 minutes early - check-in takes time, and arriving early helps you avoid missing your start time.
Reminder: All visits are video-only, and inmates get one per week. Don't be surprised if you can't book multiple standard visits in the same week.
