Your First Video Visit at Charles B. Webster: Checklist and Arrival Tips
Getting your timing and ID sorted before your first video visit makes everything easier. Follow this checklist so you don't get turned away or lose precious visit time.
Your visit must be scheduled and approved before you arrive at Charles B. Webster. Plan to check in at the Visitor Center at least 15 minutes early. Show up late and you might only get whatever time remains in your window - or be turned away entirely.
If you need to schedule an on-site visit, you can do that at one of the two kiosks located in the Visitor Center.
Accepted IDs
- ✓ Bring a picture I.D. - it’s required when you arrive to visit.
- ✓ Accepted IDs: valid Georgia driver’s license, valid out-of-state driver’s license, valid passport, or valid military I.D.
Only one person may visit at a time, so plan accordingly if multiple family members want to see the same person.
Bringing kids? There are extra rules. One visitor under age 17 is allowed, but only when accompanied by a registered and approved parent or guardian. Children under 17 can't be left unattended in the lobby during visitation - make sure you have a supervision plan for the entire visit.
No electronics: Cell phones and any electronic recording devices are prohibited inside the video visitation area.
No food or drinks in the video visitation area. Smoking, eating, and drinking are all off-limits during your visit.
Visitation can be restricted: Visitation is a privilege, and inmates who become disciplinary problems or security risks may not be allowed to receive visitors.
Arrival Checklist
- ✓ Make sure your visit is scheduled and approved before you go.
- ✓ If you still need to schedule on-site, use one of the two kiosks in the Visitor Center.
- ✓ Bring an accepted picture I.D. (valid GA or other state driver’s license, passport, or military I.D.).
- ✓ Arrive early enough to check in at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time.
- ✓ Leave your cell phone and any electronic recording devices out of the video visitation area.
- ✓ Don’t bring food, drinks, or anything you’ll want to eat or smoke during the visit.
- ✓ Remember the visit can be impacted if the inmate isn’t allowed visits due to disciplinary or security issues.
Late arrival risk: If you check in late, you may only receive the remaining visiting time - or you may not be allowed to visit at all.
