How to Visit Warren Correctional Institution (OH)

Every visit at Warren Correctional Institution must be reserved through the online visitor portal. After your visitor application is approved, you'll register with the GTL VisitMe portal to book your reservations.

When requesting a reservation, you'll need to provide the first and last names of every adult visitor. For minors, the facility asks for the minor's first name and relationship if they're related to the incarcerated person, or just the minor's age if they're not related. You'll also need to include a legible copy of your government-issued photo ID with your visitor application. One thing to keep in mind: the incarcerated person's approved adult visiting list is capped at 15 adults total, and no more than two of those can be listed as friends.

Before making travel plans, confirm you're using the right reservation system. Warren Correctional Institution requires all visits to be reserved through the online visitor portal, and approved visitors must register with the GTL VisitMe portal to schedule.

Double-check the current visitor application requirements before submitting anything. Make sure you're providing the requested names and minor information for your reservation request, and that your photo ID copy is clear and readable. Also confirm the incarcerated person still has room on their approved adult visiting list (up to 15 adults, with no more than two friends).

Entry and screening procedures can change, so verify the current search process, what you can bring in, and any clothing or accessory rules before you go. Even small items like hairpins, underwire, certain shoes, extra zippers, or too much jewelry can hold you up at the metal detector.
