How to Schedule Your First Visit at Phillips State Prison (GA): approval, hours, and deadlines

Phillips State Prison visiting hours are 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays.

You'll need to become an approved visitor before you can schedule anything. Start by filling out the Visitation Request Form and submitting it to Phillips State Prison. Once approved, you can request an actual visit time.

Form Fields

• ✓ Offender ID (GDC ID)
• ✓ Your last name
• ✓ Your first name
• ✓ Your middle name (optional)
• ✓ Your email address
• ✓ Your relationship to the offender
• ✓ Your date of birth
• ✓ Your ID type
• ✓ Your driver’s license or state ID information (if you select one of those ID types)
• ✓ Your telephone number

Approval is just step one - you still need to request a specific visit slot. Phillips uses the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) visitation form for scheduling, so don't show up hoping there's space. Pick an available time and submit your request early enough to meet the deadlines below.

Pre Submission Checklist

• ✓ Make sure you’ve completed the first step and are an approved visitor (approval starts by submitting the Visitation Request Form to the facility where the offender is incarcerated).
• ✓ Confirm you have the offender’s GDC ID.
• ✓ Double-check your name and email address for typos.
• ✓ Know your relationship to the offender (as you’ll enter it on the form).
• ✓ Have your date of birth ready.
• ✓ Know what ID type you’re using, and have your driver’s license/state ID details if applicable.
• ✓ Include a working telephone number.

When everything's ready, submit your visit request through the GDC visitation form. Remember the cutoffs: Wednesday at 5:00 PM for weekend visits, and 5:00 PM three days ahead for state holidays.
