RRM Atlanta, GA

Visits at RRM Atlanta require two steps: the inmate must place you on their visiting list, and the Bureau of Prisons must clear you before you can visit. Visiting lists typically include relatives, but approved professional and official visitors—employers, sponsors, parole advisors, foreign officials, religious and civic group members, and attorneys—may also qualify. If no visiting list exists yet (such as after a transfer), immediate family members verified by the inmate's Pre-Sentence Report may be permitted. Call ahead to confirm. Visits are scheduled through the facility's appointment process, and session length and visitor limits vary by institutional rules and housing tier. BP-A0224 states that entering Bureau grounds is consent to searches. Prohibited items are listed on the form, and visitors must list and leave medications at the entry area.

Communication at RRM Atlanta runs through federal systems with built-in monitoring and controls. Electronic messaging uses TRULINCS: messages are text-only, attachments aren't allowed, and each message is capped at 13,000 characters. Inmates must be approved to use TRULINCS, and anyone using the system must consent to monitoring. Phone and other communications data handled through TRUFONE may be shared with Department of Justice law-enforcement components. Private contractors may also access that data for system management. Assume messages and calls can be reviewed and processed under federal procedures. Before relying on calls or remote video, set up and verify any required account with the facility's approved vendor, then follow their scheduling and funding steps.

Mail at RRM Atlanta falls into two categories: general or special. General mail is opened and inspected by staff. Special mail may only be opened in the inmate's presence, though it's still checked for contraband. Packages from home aren't allowed without prior written approval—exceptions are limited to items like release clothing and authorized medical devices. Printed reading materials have restricted receipt rules. Electronic messaging is available but requires approval: TRULINCS is text-only, doesn't allow attachments, limits message size, and requires consent to monitoring plus facility approval. To avoid delays, put the inmate's full name and GDC/inmate number on everything you send. Legal and privileged mail is handled separately.

MoneyGram is an accepted way to send money to someone at RRM Atlanta. When using MoneyGram, enter the Account Number as the inmate's eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by their last name. First-time MoneyGram ExpressPayment users need to set up a user profile and have a Visa or MasterCard ready. Other common deposit methods in Georgia include online transfers through approved vendors, lobby kiosks or ATMs, and mailed money orders with printable vouchers. For online or phone deposits, have the state, facility, and the inmate's name or ID ready. Deposits may be applied to outstanding debts first, and you generally must be on the inmate's approved sender list before sending money.
