​Jefferson County C.I., GA

To schedule a visit at Jefferson County C.I., submit a scheduled visit request through the GDC visitation form. You'll need to be an approved visitor first—file the Visitation Request Form with the facility before requesting dates. Need to make changes? Use the Add Visitor link to add guests to an existing appointment, or the Cancel link to cancel. Deadlines are strict: weekend visit requests are due by 5:00 PM Wednesday of the same week, and state-holiday requests are due by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. GDC and the facility can refuse or revoke visitation for suspected contraband introduction, deceptive information on forms, or special security needs. Schedule early, keep your confirmation details handy, and follow dress-code and item rules to avoid problems at check-in.
