Scheduling, Adding, or Canceling a Visit at Butts County: Deadlines You Need to Know

To schedule a visit at Butts County Detention Center, start with the facility's visitation request form. That form is your gateway to getting on the calendar, so complete it before the week's deadline hits.

Note: Weekend and state-holiday visits have firm request cutoffs. Check the deadline section below before you submit so you don’t miss the window.

  • ✓ Have the added visitor’s details ready to enter when you add them to the scheduled visit

Plans change. To cancel, use the same scheduling system - find your existing appointment and cancel your scheduled visitation.

Weekend visits have a firm cutoff: 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week. Submit after that, and your request won't make it through.

State holiday visits have an even earlier deadline: 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Mark your calendar accordingly.

Tip: If you’re aiming for a weekend or holiday, submit your request earlier than the cutoff whenever you can. It gives you a buffer if you need to fix a form entry or adjust your plans.

The ID Type section on the request form - driver's license, state ID, or none - is only available to requestors 18 or older. If you can't select an option, make sure an adult is submitting the request.
