Approved family and friends can order through Union Supply—check the Georgia Inmate Package website for program details and approved items. Download the order form from the Georgia site and mail it to Union Supply's Dallas, TX address, or place your order by phone or fax using the vendor numbers provided. Georgia sets spending and weight limits: State Prisons/ITFs allow $100 or 15 lb per offender, while Probation Detention Centers allow $50 or 7 lb. Multiple orders may be combined into one package, but the total must stay within those limits. Orders received after the vendor deadline won't be accepted, and every order includes a $2.95 non-refundable shipping and handling charge. Always include the inmate's full name and GDC number on forms and correspondence.
