How to Set Up Your First Video Visit at Prince William–Manassas Detention Center
Getting your first video visit at Prince William–Manassas Detention Center comes down to one thing: getting registered and approved before you try to book. Once that's done, scheduling is the easy part.
All personal visits at Prince William–Manassas Detention Center are non-contact video visits. Inmates get one video visit per week. If slots are available, you can purchase and schedule a second non-contact visit that same week for a nominal fee.
How long you get depends on the inmate's custody level. Maximum custody: up to 20 minutes. Medium or minimum custody: up to 30 minutes. Inside or outside workers: up to 60 minutes.
First step: register online at http://princewilliamva.gtlvisitme.com. Do this before anything else - you can't schedule a visit until your registration is approved.
When you register, you'll select which inmate you want to visit. Detention center staff then review your request against the visitor list the inmate already submitted. If you're on the list, you'll get approved and can start scheduling.
Here's something to know upfront: approval depends on the inmate's visitor list. Each inmate can have up to six visitors (depending on privilege level), and that list can only be changed every four months. If you're not on it, your registration will be denied - and you won't be able to schedule until the inmate updates their list.
Once you're approved, head back to http://princewilliamva.gtlvisitme.com to schedule your visit. Don't try to book before approval comes through - you'll hit a dead end.
Want extra time the same week? You can purchase a second non-contact video visit for a nominal fee when space allows. Availability depends on open slots, so it's not guaranteed.
