How to Contact an Inmate at Colwell Probation Detention Center, GA

To schedule a visit, start by submitting a visit request through GDC's visitation request form. Send the completed form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated. GDC also offers an online request form on their "Visit an Inmate" page, which is often the fastest way to get started.

Want to send a food package? GDC allows family and friends to order through Union Supply. You can order by mail (Union Supply, 2500 Regent Blvd Dept. 421, P.O. Box 619059, Dallas, TX 75261-9059), by phone at 1-562-361-5719, or toll-free at 1-855-247-0563. If multiple orders are placed for the same person, they'll be combined into one package that can't exceed GDC's limits. For State Prisons and Integrated Treatment Facilities, the maximum is $100 per offender or 15 lbs per package (whichever comes first). For Probation Detention Centers, the limit is $50 per offender or 7 lbs per package. All orders include a $2.95 non-refundable shipping and handling charge.

1. Find the GDC “Visit an Inmate” page - this is where GDC provides the online option to request a scheduled visit.
2. Complete the GDC visitation request form - fill it out carefully so the facility can review your request.
3. Submit the completed form to the facility - the request must be sent to the facility where the inmate is currently incarcerated.
