Scheduling Your Visit at Coffee Correctional Institute: Deadlines You Need to Know

To request a visit at Coffee Correctional Institute, submit your request through the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) visitation form. This is the official channel - don't try to schedule informally.

You have to be an approved visitor before you can schedule anything. Get approved by filling out the Visitation Request Form and submitting it to the facility where your loved one is housed. If you're not approved yet, start there. Waiting until the week you want to visit can put you right up against the cutoff.

For weekend visits, your request must be in by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week. Trying to visit Saturday or Sunday? Treat Wednesday afternoon as your hard deadline. Don't wait until Wednesday evening, and don't assume a Thursday request will slide through.

For state holiday visits, the cutoff is 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Count back three days on your calendar and submit before the end of that business day. Once 5:00 PM hits, you're looking at the next available visiting opportunity.
