West Central Detention, GA

West Central Detention holds visits on Saturdays, Sundays, and State Holidays only. Two daily sessions are available: 9:00 AM–11:00 AM and 1:00 PM–3:00 PM. All visits require advance scheduling through the Department's visitation request form, and you'll need to submit the facility's Visitation Request Form to become an approved visitor. Need to modify an existing visit? Use the facility's Add Visitor or Cancel my visit links. Watch the deadlines closely: weekend visit requests are due by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week, and state-holiday requests are due by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Immediate family members can be requested for approval by the offender. Non-family visitors with a significant relationship require the offender to start a separate application, which goes through warden review.

West Central Detention handles communication through JPay. Video visits are scheduled through the vendor's platform at $3.95 for a 30‑minute session. For electronic messaging, each e‑mail requires a $0.35 stamp. Before using video or e‑mail services, you'll need to create and verify an account with JPay and fund it if the service requires payment. Calls and messages are typically monitored, and the person inside may need to approve you or add you to their contact list. Availability and scheduling windows can change—check the vendor's page for current options.
