ViaPath Technologies is a privately held technology company headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, specializing in advanced communications, technology, and management solutions for the criminal justice system. The company's mission is to foster safer environments, strengthen connections, and improve lives and communities by facilitating meaningful connections, educational opportunities, and successful reintegration for incarcerated individuals. Formerly known as Global Tel*Link Corporation (GTL), the company rebranded to ViaPath Technologies to better reflect its expanded mission and vision.
ViaPath Technologies offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services, including inmate call-processing and recording, inmate telephone systems, video visitation management, and jail management systems.

The company's SAFESuite corrections technology platform integrates advanced security, operational intelligence, and rehabilitation tools. ViaPath serves correctional facilities, government agencies, and law enforcement across North America, with deployments in nearly 2,000 facilities, including over 30 state Departments of Corrections and 640 counties in the United States, as well as international operations in Canada, Australia, and Mexico.
Under the leadership of CEO Deb Alderson, ViaPath Technologies continues to innovate within the corrections market. Recent developments include a January 2026 partnership with The Change Companies to integrate the Atlas platform for behavior change programs onto ViaPath's secure tablets. In February 2026, the company launched ViaPath Insights™, an AI-powered suite for correctional messaging analysis, debuting "Insights in Command" to enhance facility safety and reduce manual workload. The New Jersey Department of Corrections also began transitioning to ViaPath Technologies' services in March 2025.
