How to Schedule Your First Visit at Terrell County CI (Step-by-step)

First-time visitors can't skip ahead to picking a date. You need to start with the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) Visitation Request Form. Fill it out and submit it to Terrell County CI - this kicks off the approval process to become an authorized visitor for your loved one.

Once you're working through approval (or already approved), booking the actual visit is a separate step. You'll need to submit the GDC scheduled-visit request form. Think of it as two parts: the Visitation Request Form gets you cleared as a visitor, and the scheduled-visit request form books your specific visit.

• ✓ Weekend visits: submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week.
• ✓ State holiday visits: submit your request by 5:00 PM, three days before the holiday.

After you submit your paperwork, the facility reviews your Visitation Request Form to decide whether you're approved. Only after that approval can you schedule a visit using the GDC scheduled-visit request form. Watch for updates through the GDC visitation process so you know when you're cleared to book.

1. Start with the Visitation Request Form - fill it out and submit the completed form to Terrell County CI to begin the approved-visitor process.
2. Use the scheduled-visit request form to book the visit - this is the form required to request a scheduled visit at Terrell County CI.
3. Submit before the cutoff - for weekend visits, get your request in by 5:00 PM Wednesday of the same week; for state holiday visits, submit by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday.
4. Double-check what you entered before you send - small mistakes can slow things down, so review your information carefully.
5. Keep a copy of what you submitted - save a screenshot or printout so you can reference the details if you need to follow up later.
