Scheduling a Visit at Mitchell County Jail: Important Deadlines You Need to Know
Trying to schedule a visit at Mitchell County Jail? Timing is everything. The Georgia DOC scheduling system has firm cutoffs for weekend and state-holiday visits, so you'll need to plan ahead.
Start with the Georgia DOC scheduled-visit request form. This is the official way to request a visit time - it's where the whole process begins.
Before you try to schedule anything, make sure you're already approved to visit. Georgia DOC requires you to complete a Visitation Request Form and submit it to the facility where your loved one is housed. Once you're on the approved visitor list, requesting a scheduled visit goes much smoother.
Reminder: Submit your Visitation Request Form and get approved before trying to schedule a visit. Then use the Georgia DOC scheduled-visit request form to book your time.
Planning a weekend visit? The deadline comes up fast. You must submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that same week. Wait until Thursday or Friday, and you'll likely miss your window.
- Confirm you’re approved to visit - complete and submit the Visitation Request Form to the facility first so you’re not trying to schedule before you’re eligible.
- Submit your weekend request by Wednesday at 5:00 PM - that’s the cutoff for weekend visits during the same week.
- Save your request details - keep a record of what you submitted (and any confirmation you receive) so you can reference it if there’s a question later.
Tip: Miss the Wednesday 5:00 PM deadline? Plan for the following weekend instead.
Holiday visits work differently. The cutoff is 5:00 PM three days before the holiday - not the usual Wednesday rule. Check the calendar early, since these deadlines can land mid-week.
- Check for upcoming state holidays - if your preferred visit date is a holiday, plan around the three-day deadline.
- Get approved and submit your request at least three days ahead (by 5:00 PM) - make sure your Visitation Request Form is handled, then send the scheduled-visit request before the holiday cutoff hits.
Reminder: State-holiday visits follow the three-day cutoff. Double-check your timing before submitting.
Checklist-ready
- ✓ Offender ID (GDC ID), if you know it
- ✓ Your full legal name
- ✓ Your date of birth
- ✓ Your relationship to the person you’re visiting
- ✓ Confirmation that you’ve completed and submitted the Visitation Request Form (so you can be approved to visit)
Missed the cutoff? Call Mitchell County Jail directly and ask about your options. Usually you'll just need to schedule the next available date, but it's worth checking if alternatives exist.
Tip: Have the offender's name and GDC ID (if known), plus your own visitor information, ready when you call. It speeds things up.
