How to Become an Approved Visitor and Schedule Weekend/Holiday Visits at West Central Detention (GA)
West Central Detention doesn't allow walk-in visits. Visiting happens only on Saturdays, Sundays, and State Holidays - and every visit requires advance scheduling. Here's where people get tripped up: weekend requests must be submitted by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that week, while state-holiday requests are due by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Miss the cutoff? You'll likely have to wait for the next available visiting day.
