How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
To visit someone at Calhoun State Prison, you'll first need to get on their approved visitor list by completing the Visitation Request Form and submitting it to the facility. Once approved, request appointments through the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) online visitation form. GDC also lets you manage bookings—use the "Add Visitor" link to add people to a scheduled visit or the "Cancel my visit" link if plans change. Watch the deadlines: weekend visits must be requested by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week, and state-holiday visits by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Follow the form's ID instructions carefully—some ID selections require you to be 18 or older. Visitation can be refused or revoked for security reasons, so stick to facility rules.
