How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To send money to someone at Chattooga County Jail, you must be on the inmate's approved visitor list first—confirm your status before starting. One option is mailing a money order with the jail's free printable voucher; allow up to two weeks for delivery and processing, and follow the facility's instructions exactly so your deposit isn't delayed. Depending on what's available, common deposit routes in Georgia include online/vendor transfers, lobby kiosks, or mailed money orders. Have the inmate's name and facility information ready and follow submission steps carefully. If something doesn't go through, a live agent is available 24/7 to help troubleshoot.

Getting approved to visit comes down to one thing: the facility has to add you as an approved visitor before you can request or schedule anything. The steps below follow Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) visitation guidance, which provides a solid roadmap—but Chattooga County Jail is a county facility, so the exact form, submission method, and approval process may differ. Before you spend time filling anything out, confirm whether Chattooga County Jail uses the GDC Visitation Request Form or their own local form, and how they want it submitted (mail, fax, or another method). If you can't find the answer online, call the jail or check the county sheriff's website. A quick phone call beats a rejected or lost application.
