How to Schedule Your First Visit at Phillips State Prison
Scheduling your first visit at Phillips State Prison happens in two steps: get approved as a visitor, then request a specific visit date. Pay close attention to cutoff times—miss them, and you'll have to wait for the next available weekend or holiday.
Visiting hours at Phillips State Prison run from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Keep that window in mind when planning - you can't schedule outside those times.
Visits happen on Saturdays, Sundays, and State Holidays. Planning a holiday visit? Treat it separately - holiday requests have their own cutoff deadline.
First things first: you need to be an approved visitor before you can schedule anything. Start by filling out the Georgia Department of Corrections Visitation Request Form and submitting it to Phillips State Prison. Once approved, you can request a specific visit date.
Note: Some fields on the request process require the requester to be at least 18 years old.
Once you're approved, request your visit through the Georgia Department of Corrections visitation form. This is where you pick an actual visit slot. Don't wait until the last minute - cutoff times sneak up fast.
Fill out the form carefully. Some fields require you to be 18 or older, so enter your information accurately to avoid getting stuck mid-request.
For weekend visits, submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week. Miss that deadline and you're out of luck until the following weekend. Make "Wednesday at 5" your personal cutoff. I'd aim for earlier if you can - gives you a buffer if something goes wrong.
For State Holidays, the cutoff is 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Count back three full days and treat 5:00 PM as a hard stop. So if the holiday falls on Monday, your deadline is Friday at 5:00 PM. Holiday on Thursday? Submit by Monday at 5:00 PM. Stick to the three-day rule and you won't miss the window.
Denial Reasons
- ✓ The visit may be denied if the inmate has had one or more disciplinary reports that resulted in sanctions within the past 24 months.
- ✓ The visit may be denied if the inmate is under a sentence that prohibits contact with any person (such as a victim or witness).
After submitting, double-check what you entered - especially your contact info and identifying details. Small mistakes can hold up your request. If you don't get the visit you wanted, review the cutoff rules and submit earlier next time.
