How to send messages, photos, and packages
Smith Transitional Center follows the Georgia Department of Corrections package program. Union Supply handles approved food packages for offenders in state prisons, ITFs, and probation detention centers. Place orders by phone at 1-562-361-5719 or toll-free 1-855-247-0563. Every order includes a $2.95 shipping and handling charge, and packages must meet GDC spending and weight limits. Ordering multiple times for the same offender? Those orders get consolidated into a single package—still subject to facility limits. For personal letters and non-vendor mail, Georgia facilities typically route everything through a central processor for inspection and scanning before delivery. Always include the offender's full name and GDC number on every piece of mail.
