How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Here's how people typically add funds to inmate trust accounts in Georgia and what to double-check before sending money to Rutledge State Prison. Common options include online transfers through third-party vendors, lobby kiosks or ATMs (often in facility lobbies), vendor commissary or gift packs, and mailed money orders sent with the facility's printable voucher. For online or phone deposits, you'll need the state, the facility name, and the inmate's full name or ID number. If you're mailing a voucher and money order, follow the facility's exact format and address requirements to avoid delays. You may also need to be on the inmate's approved visitor or sender list. Keep in mind that new deposits can be applied to outstanding debts or fees under facility accounting rules.

Before you can schedule a visit at Rutledge State Prison, you need to be an approved visitor. In Georgia's DOC system, that means completing the Visitation Request Form first. Once approved, you can request a scheduled visit through a separate online form. If you try to schedule before getting approved, your request won't go anywhere—so handle the approval step first.
