Common options in Georgia include online transfers through approved vendors, lobby kiosks or ATMs, and mailed money orders with printable vouchers. For online or phone deposits, have the inmate's state, facility, and name or ID ready. Follow voucher requirements for mailed money orders to avoid delays.
