How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Start by completing the Visitation Request Form to get on the approved visitor list at Butts County Detention Center. Once approved, you'll schedule specific visits through the facility's request process—forms and online scheduling are both available. Keep deadlines in mind: weekend visit requests must be in by 5:00 PM Wednesday, and state-holiday visits need to be requested by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Already have a visit scheduled? You can add more visitors by locating your scheduled visitation and adding them, or cancel using the facility's cancel link. For non-immediate family or other significant relationships, the offender must start the approval process by submitting a Significant Relationship Visitor Application for review.

Before you can visit someone at Butts County Detention Center, you need to get approved. Start by filling out the Visitation Request Form and submitting it to the facility. Once approved, you can move on to scheduling your visit.
Getting approved to visit at Butts County Detention Center depends on your relationship to the person incarcerated. Immediate family members—parents, siblings, spouse, grandparents, grandchildren, and children—can be requested by the offender for visitation approval. Not immediate family? You may still qualify as a "significant relationship" visitor. This includes step-parents, in-laws, cousins, friends, employers, and pastors. The catch: you can't start this process yourself. The offender has to initiate it through the facility's significant-relationship application.
