Thomas County Jail, GA

Before you can visit someone at Thomas County Jail, you'll need approval. Complete and submit the Visitation Request Form to the facility where the inmate is housed. Immediate family members—parents, siblings, spouse, grandparents, grandchildren, and children—can be approved. Non-immediate contacts may qualify as significant-relationship visitors, but the offender must initiate that request. For significant-relationship visits, the offender completes the Significant Relationship Visitor Application and submits it to the Warden or Superintendent for review. Once a decision is made, the offender will let you know the outcome. After approval, request visits through the Georgia DOC/GDConnect online visitation form, which asks for the Offender (GDC) ID and your relationship. Use the Add Visitor or Cancel My Visit links to update your plans. Watch the deadlines: weekend requests are due by 5:00 PM Wednesday, and state holiday requests by 5:00 PM three days before.

Thomas County Jail uses JPay for video visitation and electronic messaging. A 30-minute video visit costs $3.95.
