How to Contact an Inmate at Clarke County Jail (GA)

Clarke County Jail handles personal mail and legal mail differently. Personal mail goes to a central processing facility where it's opened, scanned, and made available electronically to the inmate for 14 days. Send personal mail to this address: JailATM.com – Clarke County Jail, Inmate Name / Inmate Number, 925B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309. Legal mail skips that processing center entirely. It must be mailed directly to the jail (Clarke County Jail, 3015 Lexington Rd, Athens, GA 30605) and can only come from a legally approved entity.

There are no in-person visits at Clarke County Jail. All visitation happens through internet video on JailATM.com. Timing matters if someone was recently booked. Inmates must complete intake processing before they can receive visitors, and that can take up to 24 hours from the time of booking.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Wait until the inmate has cleared intake before trying to visit (this may take up to 24 hours from booking).
• ✓ Decide whether you are sending personal mail or legal mail, since they go to different addresses.
• ✓ Send personal mail to: JailATM.com – Clarke County Jail, Inmate Name / Inmate Number, 925B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309.
• ✓ Send legal mail directly to: Clarke County Jail, 3015 Lexington Rd, Athens, GA 30605, and make sure it is coming from a legally approved entity.
• ✓ Use JailATM.com for internet video visitation (the jail does not offer public lobby visits).
• ✓ Choose a scheduled 15-minute video visit ($3.75) or an unscheduled video visit ($0.25 per minute).
• ✓ Plan your video visit during the available hours: 9–11 am, 1–4 pm, and 6–9 pm.
