Visiting Rogers State Prison: approval, scheduling, and hours families must know
Visiting Rogers State Prison runs smoothest when you tackle things in order: get approved first, then request your scheduled visit, and finally plan your travel around the visiting hours for your loved one's housing status.
Most visitors at Rogers State Prison are immediate family. Your loved one can request approval for parents, siblings, a spouse, grandparents, grandchildren, and children - this is the starting point for getting on the visitor list.
Not immediate family? Step-parents, in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, pastors, and employers can still visit as
Before scheduling anything: Get approved first. Complete the Visitation Request Form and submit it to the facility. If staff request supporting documents during approval, have them ready - missing paperwork can stall your application.
- Get the Visitation Request Form - use the Georgia Department of Corrections visitation resources to access the form.
- Fill it out completely - incomplete forms can slow down approval.
- Submit the completed form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated - the form is processed through that facility.
- Wait for approval before scheduling - approval is the first step in the visitation process, and you’ll want it in place before you request a scheduled visit.
Once approved, request your visit through the online form on the Georgia Department of Corrections visitation page. This online request is the required method for scheduling visits at any Georgia DOC facility, including Rogers State Prison.
- ✓ Request your scheduled visit through the online form on the GDC visitation page.
- ✓ If you already have a scheduled visit and need to bring someone else, use the GDC “Add Visitor” link to locate your scheduled visitation and add additional visitors.
- ✓ Make sure any added guest is approved to visit before you try to add them to the visit.
General population visits at Rogers State Prison happen Saturdays, Sundays, and State Holidays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Plan your travel and visit request around these hours.
Protective custody runs on a different schedule - Saturdays, Sundays, and State Holidays from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. That's just one hour. If your loved one is in protective custody, arrive early so you don't miss the window.
Keep in mind: Rogers has different hours for general population (9:00 AM–3:00 PM) and protective custody (8:00 AM–9:00 AM), even though both follow the same days. Double-check the current posting before you travel, especially around holidays.
