Non-immediate family members may qualify through a significant-relationship application—the offender initiates this with the warden.

Sending mail to Whitworth Facility takes some planning, especially for packages or time-sensitive items. The facility uses approved vendors for commissary and food packages. Union Supply handles food package orders under GDC rules and charges a $2.95 non-refundable shipping/handling fee. GDC spending and weight limits apply: $100/15 lbs for state prisons and ITFs, $50/7 lbs for probation detention centers. Check vendor limits and deadlines before ordering. For electronic messages, JPay may be available—stamps cost $0.35 each, and attachments can add fees. All non-privileged mail gets inspected for contraband. Many Georgia facilities route mail through a central service for scanning, which adds time. Allow up to two weeks for delivery and processing. Always include the inmate's full name and GDC/inmate number on everything you send.

Before sending money to someone at Whitworth Facility, make sure you're on their approved visitor list. This requirement applies regardless of payment method. Common options for Georgia facilities include third-party online transfers (like JPay), lobby kiosks or ATMs, mailed money orders with a printable voucher, and walk-in or MoneyGram deposits. Fees and timing vary by method. JPay charges $3.50 for internet transfers of $0.01–$20.00. Mailed voucher deposits can take up to two weeks to post. Walk-in and MoneyGram deposits may carry fees too—$4.95 for certain walk-in transactions, for example. Lockbox and money order deposits may be free. Double-check the facility name and inmate ID to avoid delays.
