How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To send money to someone at Colwell Probation Detention Center, Georgia DOC's "Send Money to an Offender" page directs you to statewide guidance rather than listing Colwell-specific deposit methods. That guidance covers online transfers through approved vendors, lobby kiosks or ATMs, and mailed money orders with printable vouchers. Before sending anything, pick your method and gather the exact inmate name or ID plus the correct facility details. Online or phone deposits usually require the state, facility, and inmate name or ID. Mailed vouchers and money orders must follow the listed formatting to avoid delays. Deposits go to the inmate's account, but funds may be applied to outstanding debts or fees first.
