How to Get Approved to Visit Someone at Screven County Jail
Visiting someone at Screven County Jail starts with getting your name on their approved visitor list. The process is straightforward once you know the steps.
Approval isn't just about visiting. To send money to an offender using any payment method, you must be on their approved visitor list. Even if you're not planning to visit in person yet, getting approved opens up other ways to provide day-to-day support.
The process starts with paperwork. Fill out the Visitation Request Form and submit it to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated.
Get the Visitation Request Form and fill it out completely. This form is required to become an approved visitor. Once finished, submit it to the facility where the person is incarcerated.

Immediate family members are the most common visitors. This includes parents, siblings, spouses, grandparents, grandchildren, and children. The offender can request approval for these family members directly.
Not everyone fits the immediate family definition. "Significant relationship" visitors include step-parents, in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, pastors, and employers. The key difference: the offender must initiate the request for anyone in this category.
- Have the offender initiate the request - significant-relationship visitation starts on their side, not yours.
- Have the offender complete the “Significant Relationship Visitor Application for Visitation Privilege” - this is the form used for these requests.
- Wait for review by the Warden/Superintendent - the completed application is sent to the Warden/Superintendent for review and a decision.
Significant-relationship requests require Warden/Superintendent review, so they take a bit longer than immediate-family approvals. The offender starts the process, and the facility reviews the application before making a decision.
