5 Ways to Send Money to Someone at Butts County Detention Center (and the visitor-list rule)
Trying to put money on someone's account at Butts County Detention Center? Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) offers five ways to do it. But before you pick one, know this: you must be on the person's approved visitor list, or the transfer won't go through.
GDC lists five ways to send money to someone who's incarcerated. The simplest approach is to follow their
Before you send anything, check this: GDC requires you to be on the recipient's approved visitor list. This applies to every payment method - whether you're mailing a money order voucher or using JPay. No visitor list approval, no transfer.
- Get the Visitation Request Form - this is the form GDC uses to start the approved-visitor process.
- Fill it out completely - incomplete forms can slow things down.
- Submit the completed form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated - approval is tied to the facility, so it needs to go to the right place.
Want to avoid fees? GDC lets you create a free money order voucher, print it, and mail it in for deposit. This works well if you're not in a hurry and want to skip card-processing costs. Just plan ahead - mail delivery and processing take time.
Timing tip: GDC says to allow up to 2 weeks for mail and processing time when you use the money order voucher method.
Need the money there faster? GDC directs people to JPay for electronic transfers. You'll need the inmate's ID to get started. If you already have a JPay account, you can send money online with a credit or debit card. The convenience comes at a cost - electronic transfers have fees that mailing a voucher doesn't.
Stuck or confused? GDC offers live phone support 24/7 to walk you through sending money.
