Visitation

Ware County Jail posts in-person visitation days and hours at the facility for general population inmates. Tier II inmates visit on specified weekdays following the same posted hours. Visits aren't walk-in—you'll need to schedule in advance. Call the Warden's Secretary at least one day before your requested visit, then submit a scheduled-visit request through GDC's online visitation form. Before you can book visits through GDC's system, you must become an approved visitor by completing the Visitation Request Form and submitting it to the inmate's facility. Need to change plans? GDC provides options to add a visitor or cancel a visit. Visitation can be denied or revoked for suspected contraband, deception on forms, or special security needs.
