How to Schedule Your First Visit at Bacon Probation Detention Center
Scheduling your first visit at Bacon Probation Detention Center means going through the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC). The process has two steps: get approved as a visitor first, then request your visit. Once you know that order, the rest is straightforward.
All visits at Bacon Probation Detention Center go through the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) system. Here's what trips people up: you can't schedule a visit until you're already approved. First, apply to become an approved visitor. Then - and only then - submit your visit request.
Heads up: You must submit a Visitation Request Form and get approved before you can schedule any visits.
- Get the Visitation Request Form - This is the form GDC uses to start the visitation process.
- Fill in the required details - You’ll be asked for the offender’s GDC ID and your information (including your name, email, relationship, date of birth, ID type, and a telephone number).
- Choose an ID type carefully - The form indicates you must be at least 18 years old to select Driver’s License or State ID.
- Submit the completed form to the facility where the offender is housed - For Bacon, that means sending the completed Visitation Request Form to the Bacon Probation Detention Center.
Submit the completed Visitation Request Form to Bacon Probation Detention Center at: 165 Eastside Industrial Boulevard, Alma, GA 31510.
After submitting your form, wait for approval. This step isn't instant - the facility reviews each application. Until you're approved, you won't be able to schedule a visit.
Once approved, request your visit through the GDC visitation request form. Write down the date and time you selected - you'll need those details to plan your trip.
