Walker State Prison

Visiting Walker State Prison is a two-step process: get approved as a visitor first, then request an appointment through the department's online visitation system or the facility's scheduling portal. Visiting days are typically weekends and state holidays, though some housing units or special-status inmates have different or limited windows. At check-in, you'll need to be on the inmate's approved visitation list and show a valid government-issued photo ID, along with any documents required during the approval process. Follow dress-code and item rules exactly—showing up intoxicated or in prohibited clothing means your visit gets denied and your appointment slot is lost. Schedule early, keep your confirmation details handy, and double-check any special instructions before you travel.

Walker State Prison offers phone calls, video visits (remote or on-site), and electronic messaging through third-party vendors. Rules vary by vendor and facility policy, so check current schedules, fees, approved devices, and account requirements before planning a visit or adding money. For video visits or messaging, you'll need to create and verify an account with the approved communications vendor—and fund it if the service requires payment. At-home video visits require a computer, smartphone, or tablet with a working camera and microphone, plus a stable internet connection. Calls and messages are monitored, and the person inside may need to add you to an approved contact list first.

Adding money to an inmate account at Walker State Prison follows standard Georgia options: online transfers through third-party vendors, deposits at a lobby kiosk or ATM, mailed money orders with a printable voucher, or purchases through approved commissary/vendor packages. For online or phone deposits, you'll need the state, facility name, and the inmate's name or ID so funds route correctly. Mailing a money order? The voucher and addressing rules must match the facility's format exactly—otherwise the deposit can be delayed or rejected. Money posted to the account may be applied first to outstanding debts or fees under facility processing rules. You'll also need to be on the inmate's approved sender/visitor list. Vendors, fees, and exact steps vary by facility.

Tattnall County posts current inmate information online through a public roster. The roster shows booking-level details: name, booking status, sex, physical description, address, arrest date, court, days in jail, and bond status. You'll need to agree to a disclaimer before viewing the online inmate inquiry. Spot a discrepancy? The county asks that you notify the Sheriff's Office immediately. When confirming someone's status in Georgia, it helps to also check statewide tools like the Georgia Department of Corrections "Find an Offender" or facility lookup for additional confirmation. To avoid mix-ups, gather identifiers first—full or partial legal name, date of birth, aliases, and any booking or GDC ID.
