The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) and partners ViaPath and Assisting Families of Inmates (AFOI) have expanded video visitation at State Farm Work Center. The expansion took effect at approximately 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 25.
Every living area at the facility is now equipped with video visitation equipment, allowing inmates to conduct visits from their living areas.
Hours of operation for the general population will be 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekends.
Any previously scheduled visit outside of those hours will need to be rescheduled once the new hours are implemented.
If two inmates in the same living area are scheduled for a visit simultaneously, one visit will remain and the other will be canceled. For the canceled visit, the visitor can reschedule their visit in the Visitation Scheduler.
Video visitation will not be available when facilities are operating on lockdown status.
