What You Need to Know Before Sending Money to Someone at GA Diag Class Prison

Quick Checklist

  • ✓ Confirm you’re on the recipient’s approved visitor list (this is required for every payment method).

Before you pay, double-check you have the right GDC ID for the person you’re sending money to, and make sure your approved visitor status is in place. Those two details are where most first-time senders get tripped up.

Georgia Department of Corrections offers several ways to send money to someone at a GDC facility, including GA Diag Class Prison. Not sure which to pick? Start with GDC's Send Money tool - it walks you through the current, approved process for your recipient.

  • ✓ Free money order voucher - create a voucher, print it, and mail it in (allow up to 2 weeks for mail and processing).
  • ✓ JPay online money transfer - send funds online (fees apply).
What You Need to Know Before Sending Money to Someone at GA Diag Class Prison
  1. Create the free money order voucher - use the voucher option provided through GDC’s process.
  2. Print the voucher - you’ll need a printed copy to mail in.
  3. Mail it in - send the printed voucher as directed.
  4. Plan for the timeline - allow up to 2 weeks for mail and processing before you expect the funds to show up.

Reminder: You must be on the recipient’s approved visitor list to use the money order voucher (and any other payment method).

Sending money online through JPay? Factor the fee into your plan, especially for smaller amounts. An internet funds transfer of $0.01–$20.00 costs $3.50 per transaction.

Heads up: The approved visitor requirement still applies even if you’re using JPay.

If your payment won't go through, you're not sure which option to pick, or you need help completing a transfer, you can call and speak with a live agent 24/7.

The biggest

Going the free money order voucher route? The tradeoff is speed. Because it relies on mail and internal processing, allow up to two weeks for funds to post. If that window has passed or something seems off, call the 24/7 live agent to troubleshoot.
