How to Get Money Released from an Inmate's Account at Coweta County Jail

This process starts on the inside. The inmate must complete a money release form while in booking - without it, the jail won't authorize the release. There's no way for family or friends to kick things off from the outside.

Timing trips people up. Once the inmate completes the form, you have less than 12 hours to pick up the money. That window is firm. Be ready to go as soon as you hear the form is done.

• ✓ Money release is processed Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
• ✓ Money release is not processed on weekends, Wednesdays, or holidays.

One more thing: you only get one shot at this. Coweta County Jail allows money to be released from an inmate's account just once per incarceration. Make sure the timing and amount are right before you make the trip - there are no do-overs during the same stay.

1. Go on an eligible day and time - money release is only handled Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm.
2. Bring a government ID - have it with you when you go to pick up the release.
3. Arrive early once the form is completed - you have less than 12 hours to pick it up, so don’t wait until the end of the day.
