Scheduling Your Visit at Butts County Detention Center: Deadlines, Cutoffs, and How to Change a Booking

To schedule a visit at Butts County Detention Center, start with the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) visitation form. This form is your entry point for getting on the schedule - use it any time you need to set up a visit.

• ✓ Become an approved visitor first by filling out the Visitation Request Form.
• ✓ Submit the completed Visitation Request Form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated.
• ✓ Use the GDC visitation form to request the scheduled visit once you’re ready to book.

Weekend visits have a firm cutoff: your request must be in by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that week. Miss the deadline? You'll have to aim for a later date.

Holiday cutoffs work differently. Submit your request by 5:00 PM, three days before the holiday. Count backward early - holiday weeks fill up fast, and the deadline sneaks up on people.
