Waupun Correctional Institution (WCI) currently lists two video visits per month for a person in DOC care. Each visit runs 50 minutes and is shown as free at this time. WCI also publishes weekend and holiday video-visit schedules with multiple 50-minute sessions available. You schedule video visits through ICSolutions, and your account details must exactly match the information on your approved Wisconsin DOC visitor application. One thing to be aware of: a separate Wisconsin DOC enhanced video visitation policy states each person in DOC care may receive one free video visit per week, with additional paid 25-minute visits available for $2.50 each. This differs from WCI's local statement. For tablet messages and photo uploads at WCI, use Getting Out (GTL) at www.gettingout.com.
