How to Visit Putnamville Corrections Facility, In (IN)
Visiting at Putnamville starts online. Once you know where to register and how scheduling works, the rest comes down to following the rules and showing up (or logging in) prepared.
Before you can visit someone at Putnamville Corrections Facility, you need to register for a ViaPath account and get approved. This approval comes first, whether you want an in-person visit or a video visit. Once approved, ViaPath will show you the available dates and times for your loved one's facility when you go to schedule.
One scheduling detail catches people off guard: ViaPath displays all visit times in Eastern Time. If you live in a different time zone, convert the scheduled time before you lock it in.
Video visit dress rules: Video visits follow the same general rules as in-person visits, but some dress standards are relaxed. Wear a shirt or blouse with pants, shorts, or a dress, plus appropriate undergarments. No hats or head coverings unless required by your religious beliefs. Clothing cannot be torn, transparent, or frayed enough to show undergarments.
This guide does not cover on-site visiting hours, ID requirements, check-in procedures, visit length or frequency limits, or the full in-person dress code for Putnamville. Confirm those details through the official visitation information and your ViaPath scheduling screen before making the trip.
- Register for ViaPath. Create your ViaPath visitor account for Putnamville.
- Wait for approval. You must be approved before you can schedule in-person or online visits.
- Schedule using the listed openings. ViaPath will display the available dates and times for the incarcerated individual’s facility.
- Double-check the time zone. All scheduling on ViaPath is done in Eastern Time, so adjust the start time to your local time if needed.
- ✓ Follow the same rules and procedures used for regular visitation, since video visits are held to the same standards (with some dress exceptions).
- ✓ Dress for the camera: shirt/blouse, pants/shorts/dress, appropriate undergarments; no hats or head coverings unless for religious reasons; no torn, transparent, or heavily frayed clothing.
- ✓ Be ready to pay if your video visit is fee-based. ViaPath accepts debit cards, charge cards, and Visa/Mastercard gift cards during scheduling.
If scheduling is not working as expected, check your ViaPath status first. Make sure your visitor account shows as approved and that you are scheduling under the correct incarcerated person and facility. Otherwise, the available dates and times you see may not match Putnamville.
- ✓ Confirm the visit start time in Eastern Time on ViaPath, then convert it to your local time.
- ✓ If multiple people are coordinating the same visit, make sure everyone is using the same time zone so nobody logs in late.
- ✓ If the visit is fee-based, confirm the final total shown at checkout before you submit payment.
- ✓ Have an accepted payment method ready for ViaPath scheduling (debit card, charge card, or Visa/Mastercard gift card).
- ✓ Re-check the conduct rules and dress rules that apply to your visit type. Video visits follow regular visitation procedures, but video dress rules specifically restrict head coverings except for religious reasons and require basic clothing coverage.
Before an in-person visit, confirm the basics that can cause a wasted trip: what ID you need, when and where to check in, how early to arrive, how long visits last, how many visitors can attend, and any rules about cancellations or rescheduling. Those details were not included here, so treat them as "verify first" items for Putnamville.
