Cherokee Adult Detention Center, GA

Cherokee County Detention Center offers both on-site and remote video visitation. On-site visits are free, last up to 30 minutes, and allow a maximum of two visitors per terminal—but you'll need to schedule at least one day ahead. Remote visits run seven days a week. You can book them same-day (up to one hour before the session starts) or reserve up to three weeks in advance. Each inmate can have up to three remote visits per day, with 15-minute sessions. Standard visitors pay $6.00; approved confidential visitors pay $7.00. Availability may depend on housing assignment or inmate status. A few rules to know: visitors under 18 need an adult present for iWebVisit, minors must be fully clothed on camera, and personal items and food aren't allowed. Bring valid ID for check-in and reserve early—slots fill up.

All personal mail for Cherokee County Detention Center goes through JailATM, a central processor. Staff open incoming letters, inspect non-privileged mail for contraband, scan it, and email the scanned copy to the inmate. The original paper gets discarded within 60 days. Send personal mail to: JailATM, 925B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309. Always include the inmate's full name and inmate number. Don't send legal/privileged correspondence, cash, personal checks, or money orders to JailATM—those go directly to the facility's Inmate Records or Legal Mail address. Mark legal mail clearly as "Legal Mail." Staff will open it in front of the inmate.

Money sent to an inmate at Cherokee County Detention Center goes into their inmate funds account. The facility accepts money orders, cashier's checks, and government checks—but not personal checks or cash. Mail is the approved way to send these payments. Follow the facility's mailing instructions and include the inmate's name or ID to avoid delays. Don't send cash or personal checks to the mail processing center. Legal/privileged mail and payments may have different routing instructions, so confirm whether money should go directly to Inmate Records. Once deposited, funds may be applied to outstanding debts before the inmate can use them for commissary or other purchases.
