Tift County Law Detention, GA

Visiting at Tift County Law Detention starts with approval. Complete and submit the facility's Visitation Request Form, then use the online scheduling form to request a specific visit. Need to change plans? You can add visitors to an existing visit or cancel through the facility's cancellation link. Approval rules differ by relationship—immediate family members may be approved directly, while non-immediate relations must go through an offender-initiated application to the warden as significant-relationship visitors. Watch the deadlines closely: weekend visit requests close at 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week, and state-holiday requests close at 5:00 PM three days before. Plan ahead, keep your confirmation, bring a valid photo ID, and follow dress-code and item rules.

Tift County Law Detention uses JPay for video visitation and electronic messaging. Video visits cost $3.95 for a 30-minute session. Electronic messages require a $0.35 e-stamp, and attachments may cost extra. Before scheduling a video visit or sending messages, you'll need to create and verify a JPay account—and fund it if required. For at-home video visits, use a webcam-equipped computer or a smartphone/tablet with a camera and microphone, plus a stable internet connection. Expect monitoring, and check whether you need to be on the inmate's approved contact list before booking.
