Scheduling a Visit at Tift County Law Detention: Weekend and Holiday Deadlines You Need to Know

Visits at Tift County Law Detention go through the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) system, and requests have firm cutoff times. Submit after the deadline? Your request won't count for that weekend or state holiday. Even if you're packed and ready to go, you won't get on the schedule.

For weekend visits, your request must be in by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week. Hoping to visit Saturday or Sunday? Wednesday at 5:00 PM is your hard stop.

State-holiday visits have a different deadline: 5:00 PM, three days before the holiday. Holidays sneak up fast, and that three-day window can land earlier in the week than you'd expect. Don't wait.

Submit your visitation request through the GDC visitation form. That's the official process for getting your visit on the schedule at Tift County Law Detention - make sure you're using it.

1. Find the GDC visitation request form - Use the GDC visitation form to start your scheduled visit request.
2. Fill out the form completely - Enter the information the form asks for so your request can be processed.
3. Submit before the right cutoff time - For weekends, submit by 5:00 PM Wednesday of the same week; for state holidays, submit by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday.

Missed the cutoff? Assume that weekend or holiday visit isn't happening. Your best bet is to aim for the next available window and get your request in early through the GDC form. Don't count on a late submission being accepted.
