How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Getting approved to visit Gwinnett County Jail starts with the Visitation Request Form—submit it to the facility where your person is housed. Once approved, you'll book every visit through the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) visit scheduling form. Walk-ins aren't allowed; appointments are required. Need to make changes after booking? Use the Add Visitor link to find your appointment and add people, or the Cancel my visit link to cancel a reservation. Be aware that visits can be denied, revoked, or suspended for suspected contraband, dishonesty on forms, repeated conduct warnings, or security concerns. The Ombudsman unit can't overturn a warden's visitation decisions made under facility policy, so following the rules is essential.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
Setting up a visit—or changing one you've already scheduled—comes down to three simple actions through GDC's online tools: request the visit, add visitors, or cancel.

First, complete and submit the Visitation Request Form to the facility where the inmate is housed. Once you're approved, book your visit through the GDC visit scheduling form—every visit requires an appointment.

Visitation can be refused if you’re suspected of, caught with, or attempting to introduce contraband into a facility.
