Jackson County Jail, GA

Visiting at Jackson County Jail takes some planning, but the process is straightforward. The jail posts the visitation schedule in the lobby, and after your first visit, lobby personnel handle scheduling for future visits. Each inmate can have up to two adult visitors at a time, with visits limited to three 25-minute sessions per seven-day calendar week unless additional visits are approved. If you're 16 or older, bring acceptable photo ID—a state ID, military ID, passport, or other Watch Commander-approved ID works. Reception staff check you in, log the visit, notify Tower Control, and direct you to the visitation area. Leave your cell phone and personal items behind. You may be searched, and refusing means no visit. Children must be accompanied by an adult—staff won't supervise them.

Jackson County Jail routes all personal inmate mail through a central JailATM processing center. Letters are opened, scanned, and delivered electronically for the inmate to view for 14 days. Bulk mailings to JailATM or JailATM.com aren't permitted—they'll be denied on receipt. Legal or privileged mail must go directly to the jail and come from a legally approved entity; contact the jail for the current list of approved senders. Non-privileged mail is subject to monitoring and may be used as evidence. Anything other than legal mail, money orders, and books gets returned to sender. For business or transactional documents requiring originals, send them directly to the jail's Business Office at the address the facility provides. Always include the inmate's full name and GDC/inmate number.
