How to Send Mail to Someone at Habersham County Jail: Which Address to Use
Habersham County Detention Center uses different mailing addresses depending on what you're sending. Pick the right one, and your mail gets processed normally. Pick the wrong one, and it gets delayed or rejected.
Regular letters, cards, and personal mail go through JailATM.com to a processing center in Atlanta - not directly to the jail. Legal mail works differently: send it straight to the facility, and only a legally approved entity or Attorney of Record can be the sender. Business documents and official paperwork (especially originals needing the inmate's signature) go to the jail's Clarkesville address, attention Jail Administration.
Note: If you use the wrong address type (personal vs. legal vs. official documents), your mail can be delayed, returned, or not delivered the way you intended.
Personal mail for Habersham County Detention Center goes to a central processing facility, not the jail itself. Your letter gets opened and scanned there, then delivered electronically to the inmate. Address it exactly like this: JailATM.com - Habersham County Detention Center Inmate Name/Inmate Number 925B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062 Atlanta, GA 30309
- ✓ JailATM.com - Habersham County Detention Center
- ✓ Inmate Name/Inmate Number
- ✓ 925B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062
- ✓ Atlanta, GA 30309
Before sealing the envelope, check that your contents are allowed. The facility doesn't accept bulk packages, cash, or pornographic material. Photos are capped at 10 per mailing. Correspondence from other detention facilities won't be accepted either. Anything suspicious may be returned, and contraband can be seized.
Legal mail goes directly to Habersham County Detention Center - not the JailATM processing address. There's also a sender restriction: only a legally approved entity or the Attorney of Record can send legal mail.
Here's where people get confused: "legal mail" isn't the same as business paperwork or official documents. Legal mail goes directly to the jail and must come from approved legal senders. Official documents use a separate address in Clarkesville (attention Jail Administration). If you're sending ID documents or other official items, don't use the Atlanta processing address - that's only for personal mail.
