How to Schedule a Visit at Wabash Valley: Why ViaPath Uses Eastern Time (and what you should do)
ViaPath schedules all visits in Eastern Time—even when the facility sits in a Central Time zone. This trips people up constantly. You pick a slot that matches your loved one's facility schedule, but the time displayed is still Eastern. So while the dates and times reflect when visits actually happen at the facility, you'll need to convert the clock time if you're not in the Eastern zone.

Topic Overviews
Visitation
Visiting at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility starts with ViaPath. Create an account and get approved before scheduling any in-person or video visit—you'll complete the electronic application (State Form 14387) through the system. When picking a time, remember the ViaPath portal uses Eastern Time, so double-check your visit time in ET. Anyone 16 or older must submit an accepted photo ID and will undergo background and warrant checks. Active warrants trigger facility review and may involve law-enforcement contact. Submit any required supplemental documents electronically to the Visitation Coordinator to avoid delays. Falsifying information results in a one-year ban. Both visitors and offenders may be searched. Refuse a search, and your visit ends. Bring contraband, and you're looking at a referral to Indiana State Police plus a permanent ban.
