Warren Correctional Institution

Visiting at Warren Correctional Institution starts with getting your visitor application approved, then reserving your visit through the statewide ViaPath/GTL online portal, which offers 24-hour scheduling access. When you request a reservation, you'll need the first and last names of all adult visitors, plus the incarcerated person's last name and ID number. Approved visitors must register with GTL/ViaPath to schedule in-person or video visits. All visits are monitored. Plan for entry screening: you'll go through a search and need to show bona fide photo identification every time. Don't bring prohibited items like electronic devices, purses or backpacks, cash, or tobacco products. Clear diaper bags are allowed for infants with limited approved baby items. Minors need a signed Minor Visitor Application and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Communication and visiting at Warren Correctional Institution starts with approval. The incarcerated person typically needs to add you to their approved visitor list before you can finish registration and book a time through ViaPath at http://ohdoc.gtlvisitme.com. All reservations for in-person or video visits go through the vendor portal. Video visits may be available on-site using facility terminals or off-site from your computer or phone, though off-site sessions require a compatible device and an active vendor account. Leave all electronics behind: cell phones, smart watches, and similar devices are not permitted during visits. The facility's Declaration of Understanding also lists cash and cellular telephones as prohibited on facility grounds. For ViaPath tablet repairs, payments are limited to money orders or cashier's checks.

Paying for a Viapath tablet repair at Warren Correctional Institution has strict rules. Only visitors approved on the incarcerated person's visiting list can send a tablet repair payment. The repair fee must be paid all at once as a single $250.00 (USD) payment, and the facility accepts only a money order or cashier's check (no other payment types). For regular deposits to an inmate's commissary or trust account, you'll typically need the inmate's full name and booking or ID number. Use the facility's approved deposit channels, such as an online portal, phone, lobby kiosk, or approved retail options. Verify the accepted methods before sending money, and expect vendor convenience or processing fees on phone, online, or kiosk deposits.
