Hancock State Prison, GA

Hancock State Prison holds in-person visits on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for general population, and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM for Tier I and Tier II inmates. You'll schedule visits through the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) online visitation form, which requires the offender ID plus your name, email, relationship, date of birth, and ID type. Weekend visit requests must be in by 5:00 PM Wednesday of that week. For state holidays, submit your request by 5:00 PM three days before. First-time visitors need to complete the Visitation Request Form and send it to the facility before scheduling. You can also add visitors or cancel appointments through the visitation page links.

Hancock State Prison uses Securus for telephone services. You can set up a pre-paid, collect, or direct-bill account online or by calling 1-800-844-6591. Pre-paid collect accounts have a $200.00 deposit cap. For reference, Securus lists a local rate of $0.06 per minute—a 25-minute call would run about $1.50 under Pre-Paid Collect, Direct Billed, or Debit setups. Calls are limited to 25 minutes and may be monitored or recorded. They can only go to numbers on the offender's Call Allow List, and call forwarding or three-way calling isn't permitted. Before expecting calls or scheduling video visits, make sure your Securus account is set up and funded, and check any device or connectivity requirements with the vendor.
