How to Schedule Your First Visit at Bleckley Probation Detention Center

Bleckley Probation Detention Center sits at 179 Jac Arts Rd., Cochran, GA 31014. It houses adult female probationers and parolees.

The facility holds up to 238 residents. It was built in 2003 and opened in 2004.

How to Schedule Your First Visit at Bleckley Probation Detention Center

You'll need to become an approved visitor before you can schedule anything. Start with the Visitation Request Form - fill it out completely and submit it to Bleckley Probation Detention Center. You can download the form from GDC's "Visit an Inmate" page under the Visitation Request Form section.

  • ✓ Download the GDC Visitation Request Form and fill it out fully before you submit it.
  • ✓ Submit the completed form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated (Bleckley Probation Detention Center, if that’s where they’re housed).
  • ✓ Double-check your information for typos before you turn it in - small errors can slow things down.
  • ✓ Keep a copy of what you submit for your records.

Once approved, you'll request visits through GDC's online visitation form. This is the only way to schedule a visit at Bleckley Probation Detention Center - there's no workaround or alternate method.

  1. Go to GDC’s “Request a Scheduled Visit” form - Start from the Georgia Department of Corrections visitation page and open the scheduled visit request form.
  2. Enter the requested information - Fill out the fields the form asks for so GDC can match your request to the right person and facility.
  3. Submit your request - Send the form through the online system and keep any confirmation details you receive.

Planning a weekend visit? Submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that same week. Miss the deadline and you'll need to pick a different date.

Holiday visits have a separate deadline: 5:00 PM three days before the holiday.

Tip: Miss the cutoff and you'll have to request a different date. Submit early when you can.

After submitting your request, wait for review and approval. Watch for any confirmation message or instructions, and follow them closely. If you need to check on your status, use the contact method listed in the same visitation materials where you found the form.

Understanding Phone Calls from Bleckley: Costs, Time Limits, and How to Set Up an Account

To receive phone calls from Bleckley, set up either a pre-paid collect account or a direct-bill telephone account through Securus. You can do this online at the Securus Technologies website or by calling 1-800-844-6591. If your family uses multiple phone numbers - say, a cell and a home line - you can add them all to a single pre-paid collect account. This keeps calls from getting blocked just because your loved one dials a different number.
