How to Schedule a Visit at Screven County Jail (and What Happens If You Miss the Deadline)

Start with the Georgia Department of Corrections visitation request form - the official "Request a visit" option. This form does double duty: it schedules your visit and kicks off the process of becoming an approved visitor. Once you complete it, submit it to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated.

Planning a weekend visit? The cutoff is 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that same week. Miss it, and you'll be waiting until the following weekend.

For state holidays, the deadline shifts: your request must be in by 5:00 PM, three days before the holiday. Holiday schedules can get complicated, so confirm any local exceptions with the facility before making travel plans.

Info Needed

• ✓ Offender ID (GDC ID)
• ✓ Your full name (last name, first name, and middle name if you have one)
• ✓ Your email address
• ✓ Your relationship to the offender
• ✓ Your date of birth
• ✓ Your telephone number
• ✓ Your ID type (Driver’s License, State ID, or None)
• ✓ If you select Driver’s License or State ID: the ID number (you must be 18 or older to choose Driver’s License or State ID)

First time doing this? The approval process starts when you fill out and submit the Visitation Request Form to the facility. Having your details ready beforehand speeds things up and helps you avoid mistakes that can cause delays.

Already have a visit scheduled but need to add someone? GDC has a separate option to find your existing appointment and add additional visitors. Handle this as soon as you know they're coming - don't wait until the last minute.

Plans change. GDC provides a way to find and cancel a previously scheduled visit. Cancel as soon as you know you can't make it - don't wait until you're scrambling.

Missed the cutoff or something looks wrong with your scheduled visit? Start with the GDC tools: the "add visitor" option helps if the issue is who's listed, and the "cancel" option lets you reset and start over. Still stuck - especially around weekend and holiday deadlines? Contact the facility directly to confirm what applies and whether any local exceptions might help.
