Facility Info

Bleckley Probation Detention Center is a Georgia facility housing adult female probation and parole populations. Contact with an inmate can vary by phase and housing—during diagnostic and assigned phases, the facility may permit phone and/or in-person visits under its own rules. Check the current visiting policy before making plans. Looking into a routine transfer? Ombudsman guidance says transfers typically aren't considered until the inmate has been assigned to an institution for 12 months and has had no disciplinary reports in the previous 6 months. For parole or early-release questions, contact Pardons and Paroles—those issues fall outside the Ombudsman's jurisdiction. For medical-care concerns, the recommended path is the inmate grievance process and the facility chain of command, starting with the inmate's counselor.
