Bringing Your Child to Visit: Rules for Minors at Charles B. Webster Detention Center
Bringing a child to visit takes extra planning. Here's what you need to know about the rules for minors (under 17) at Charles B. Webster Detention Center—and how to avoid getting turned away.
Children under 17 can only visit when accompanied by a registered and approved parent or guardian. The facility also limits visits to one person at a time - so you can't bring a second adult along to help while your child visits.
Note: A minor can only visit if they’re accompanied by a registered and approved parent or guardian - and only one person may visit at a time.
Children under 17 cannot be left unattended in the lobby. No quick drop-offs while you check in. No expecting staff or other visitors to keep an eye on your child. Plan to stay with them the entire time you're on-site.
Reminder: Since minors can't wait alone in the lobby, the registered and approved parent or guardian must stay with the child throughout the visit.
Practical Steps Parents
- ✓ A picture I.D.
- ✓ A valid Georgia or other state driver’s license
- ✓ A valid passport
- ✓ A valid military I.D.
Before making the trip, confirm the minor will be visiting with a registered and approved parent or guardian. If your child isn't approved - or the accompanying adult isn't registered and approved - you'll likely be turned away, even if everything else is in order.
- Arrive with time to spare - You must check in at least 15 minutes before your scheduled visit time.
- Check in with your photo ID - Bring one of the accepted photo IDs, because you’ll need to present it at arrival.
Planning tip: Make sure the approved parent or guardian is the one who arrives and checks in with the child. Don't leave your child waiting in the lobby, and remember - only one person can visit at a time.
