How to Visit Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office, GA (GA)
Visiting someone at Rockdale County Sheriff's Office happens remotely from your own home. Here's how to get approved, schedule a session, and avoid common problems on visit day.
In-person visits at the facility are only available for attorneys. Family and friends will need to use the virtual at-home visitation option instead.
Virtual visits are scheduled through Securus. You'll need to create an account first, then wait about 24 hours for Inmate Affairs to approve you before you can book a session.
Remote visitation is available on a first-come basis during these hours: Monday through Friday, 5:30pm to 10:00pm. Saturday and Sunday, 9:00am to 6:00pm and 7:30pm to 10:00pm. Plan around these blocks if you want a specific time slot.
Each inmate gets one visitor for 20 minutes per session. Children can join if accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you're 17 or older, you'll need a government-issued photo ID: a valid driver's license, state ID, passport, resident alien card, or military ID.
Expect your visit to be monitored. Cell phones aren't allowed unless you're using yours to conduct the virtual visit. If you enter the visitation lobby or area for any reason, you must wear a shirt and shoes.
