How to Visit Facility

You can schedule and manage visits through the CDCR GTL VisitMe site. Reserving a time in advance helps you skip long lines instead of relying on walk-in availability.

New users need to claim their account first. Look for the "CLAIM ACCOUNT" option on the VisitMe login page and complete that step before you can sign in and book a time.

How to Visit Facility

Steps to Follow

  • If you are new to the system, use the “CLAIM ACCOUNT” link on the GTL VisitMe site so you can access visitation scheduling.
  • After your account is claimed, sign in to CDCR GTL VisitMe to schedule and manage visits, and reserve a visitation time to avoid long lines.

This guide only covers using GTL VisitMe: signing in, claiming an account, and reserving a time. Before you visit, check the facility's current rules directly with staff or on official resources. Confirm visiting days and hours, check-in procedures, ID requirements, dress code, and whether any additional steps beyond a VisitMe reservation apply to your specific visit.
