How to Write to Someone at Bacon Probation Detention Center (Addressing Mail and Who to Contact)

The mailing address for Bacon Probation Detention Center is 165 Eastside Industrial Boulevard, Alma, GA 31510.

Include your loved one's full name and GDC number on the envelope. Staff use both to match mail to the right person - leaving either off can slow things down or cause delays.

Not sure you have the right address? Use the Georgia DOC

Double-check the envelope before you drop it in the mail: missing the person’s name or GDC number can delay delivery. Keep your letter compliant with facility rules, too - if something isn’t allowed, it may be rejected instead of delivered.

  • ✓ Keep a copy of what you send (even a quick photo) so you can reference it later if there’s a delay.
  • ✓ If you’re sending something time-sensitive, consider using a mailing option with tracking.
  • ✓ If you’re unsure about the correct address, verify it using the Georgia DOC “Find a Facility” tool before mailing.
  1. Start with the inmate’s counselor - this is usually the best first contact for resolving a medical treatment concern.
  2. Contact the Chief Counselor - if you can’t get traction at the first step, move up the chain.
  3. Reach out to the Deputy Warden of Care & Treatment - for unresolved care and treatment issues.
  4. Escalate to the Warden - if the concern still isn’t being addressed.
  5. Contact the Regional Director - for issues that remain unresolved after facility-level contacts.
  6. Then contact Ombudsman staff - this is the last step in the recommended escalation order.

Note: This contact order is for escalating unresolved medical treatment concerns. Most issues get resolved in the earlier steps, so start at the beginning and work your way up only if needed.
