How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before you can schedule any visit at Reception Diagnostic Center—in-person or video—you need a ViaPath account and approval. When booking through ViaPath, watch the time zone: all appointments display in Eastern Time, even if you're somewhere else. For fee-based video visits, head to gtlvisitme.com. Create an account, select the facility, add the incarcerated person, then schedule and pay. Video visits follow the same rules as in-person visits, including dress standards: shirts or blouses, bottoms or dresses, and appropriate undergarments. Hats and head coverings are only permitted for religious reasons. Both visitors and incarcerated individuals may be searched. Refuse a search, and your visit gets denied. Trafficking allegations can result in a permanent ban and referral to state police. The facility provides written visitation procedures to incarcerated individuals within 24 hours of arrival.
