How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before you can visit someone at Meriwether County Jail, you'll need to get approved by submitting the facility's Visitation Request Form. Once approved, schedule your visit through the facility's scheduling form—use the Add Visitor link to include additional guests, or the Cancel my visit link if plans change. Deadlines are strict: weekend visit requests must be in by 5:00 PM Wednesday, and state-holiday requests close at 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. If you select Driver License or State ID as your ID Type, you must be 18 or older. Visits may also be limited based on an offender's phase and facility rules. Denials can happen for suspected contraband, deception on forms, repeated warnings, or security concerns—and an Ombudsman can't overturn a Warden's decision. I recommend scheduling early since visits fill up fast.
