Visitors will need to be reviewed for approval after submitting information about any criminal history, employment with DOC and relation to the Incarcerated Individuals. Once approved, a visitor can request a visitation appointment with an Incarcerated Individual. Available dates and times will be listed for that Incarcerated Individuals facility.
Visitors will need to register at https://idoc.gtlvisitme.com/ to schedule in-person and online visits. All visitors must register and be approved before scheduling a visit. Visitors who have already registered for video visitation through GTL will not need to register again.
All scheduling is being done through the GTL website at https://idoc.gtlvisitme.com/. Scheduling on GTL is for Eastern Time. So even if a facility is in an area that is Central time, all visits will observe Eastern time. If you are unsure of your time zone you may check it HERE.
