How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
GA DIAG CLASS PRISON schedules most in-person visits for general population, UDS, and SMU inmates on Saturdays, Sundays, and State Holidays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. If your loved one is a diagnostic offender, visits aren't allowed during the first 60 days—and only immediate family (as defined by GDC) can visit. TIER III STEP program inmates follow a different schedule: weekday visits on Wednesdays and Fridays across three time blocks, all scheduled in advance. To get started, submit the Visitation Request Form to the facility so you can be added to the approved visitor list. Once approved, request your visit through the online visitation form. You can also add visitors or cancel scheduled visits using links on the visitation page. Weekend requests close at 5:00 PM Wednesday; state-holiday requests close at 5:00 PM three days before the holiday.
