Baldwin Prison

All visits at Baldwin Prison are by appointment only. You'll request visits through the Georgia Department of Corrections online visitation form. Before booking, you must be an approved visitor—submit the Visitation Request Form to the facility where the offender is housed. Need to add visitors to an existing appointment? Use the link provided for that scheduled visit. You can cancel the same way. Watch the deadlines: weekend visit requests are due by 5:00 PM Wednesday of the same week, and state-holiday requests are due by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Visits can be refused or revoked for security reasons. For Family Day, register ahead of time and check in at Building A with your ID and the offender's GDC number.

To receive calls from someone at Baldwin Prison, set up a Securus pre-paid collect or direct-bill account on the Securus website or by calling 1-800-844-6591. Deposits are capped at $200.00 each, so plan accordingly. People inside the facility can also transfer money from their trust accounts to Securus debit calling accounts in $1 increments. A few things to know: calls may be monitored or recorded, and call forwarding and three-way calling aren't allowed. Calls only go to numbers on the offender's approved list, and each call maxes out at 25 minutes. Set up and verify your account before expecting any calls.

To send food packages or commissary items to someone at Baldwin Prison, order through Union Supply, the approved vendor. You can place orders by mail (to the vendor address provided), by phone at 1-562-361-5719 or toll-free 1-855-247-0563, or by fax at 1-310-603-1188. Every order includes a non-refundable $2.95 shipping and handling fee. Spending and weight limits apply: State Prisons and Integrated Treatment Facilities (ITFs) cap orders at $100 per offender or 15 lbs per package, while Probation Detention Centers cap orders at $50 per offender or 7 lbs per package. Don't miss the vendor deadline—late orders won't be accepted.

Routine transfer eligibility at Baldwin Prison depends on time and conduct. The inmate must have been at an institution for 12 months with no Disciplinary Reports in the prior six months. Once eligible, they'll need to speak with their counselor to start the request—but meeting the requirements doesn't guarantee approval. Transfers go through a multi-step review. Contact options vary by housing assignment and offender phase, and may include phone calls and/or in-person visits under facility rules. If you're concerned about medical care or treatment, follow the facility's escalation order and encourage the inmate to use the grievance process. If internal steps don't resolve the issue, the Office of the Ombudsman can help address systemic problems and protect offender rights.
