How to Contact an Inmate at Arrendale State Prison
Need to get a message to someone at Arrendale State Prison, or sort out a communication issue? Your fastest option is reaching the facility staff who handle these questions directly.
Arrendale State Prison lists Julie Yeargin as the primary contact. For communication questions, her email (julie.yeargin@gdc.ga.gov) is a solid starting point. If your question needs to go higher up, the Warden/Administrator is Murray Tatum. You can reach him at murray.tatum@gdc.ga.gov.
Heads up: Two different phone numbers appear for key contacts: 706-776-4731 (Julie Yeargin) and 706-776-4800 (Murray Tatum). If you're calling about something time-sensitive, confirm you're dialing the right person and that the number is still current.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Email the primary contact, Julie Yeargin, at julie.yeargin@gdc.ga.gov.
- ✓ If your issue needs leadership review, email Warden/Administrator Murray Tatum at murray.tatum@gdc.ga.gov.
- ✓ If you plan to call, start with 706-776-4731 for Julie Yeargin.
- ✓ If you are trying to reach the Warden/Administrator by phone, use 706-776-4800, and confirm you have the correct office when the call is answered.
Email first when you can. It creates a written record of who you contacted and what you asked, which is helpful if you need to follow up. Save phone calls for urgent situations or when you're not getting a response by email. Just make sure you're using the right number for the person you're trying to reach.
- Call the number you plan to use (706-776-4731 for Julie Yeargin, 706-776-4800 for Murray Tatum) and ask to confirm you have reached the correct office.
- Verify the contact at the start of the call by asking the person who answers to confirm the name and role you are trying to reach.
- Write down what you learn (date, time, number dialed, who you spoke with) so you can follow up consistently if you need to call again.
- Send a brief email first to julie.yeargin@gdc.ga.gov or murray.tatum@gdc.ga.gov stating what you need and asking for the best way to handle it.
- Confirm you are contacting the right person by asking whether Julie Yeargin is still the primary contact for your type of request and whether Murray Tatum is the correct point of contact for administrative concerns.
- Keep your messages easy to route by including the incarcerated person’s name and any identifying details you have (for example, an ID number), so staff can direct the request appropriately.
Tip: If you find conflicting contact details across different sources, check them against the facility's official website or the state corrections directory. Try to get confirmation in writing when possible.
