Wilcox State Prison participates in Georgia's statewide vendor package program. Place approved food and package orders through Union Supply using the GDC-approved order form on the Georgia Inmate Package website—don't ship items directly to the facility. You can order by mail, phone, or fax using the contact information GDC provides. Every order includes a $2.95 non-refundable shipping and handling charge. For State Prisons and ITFs, packages are capped at $100 total or 15 pounds, whichever comes first. Multiple orders may be consolidated into one package, but the combined shipment still has to meet those limits. Miss the vendor deadline and your order won't be accepted.
Sending Money
To send money to someone at Wilcox State Prison, start with the Georgia Department of Corrections "How Do I Send Money to an Offender" page—this lists accepted payment channels and vendor details. Common options include online transfers through approved vendors, lobby kiosks or ATMs, and mailed money orders with the required facility voucher. For online or phone deposits, you'll need the state, facility name, and the inmate's name or ID so funds route correctly. Deposits go into the inmate's account for commissary and other purchases, but the facility may apply money to outstanding debts or fees before the balance becomes available. Check GDC's Wilcox listing before sending anything.
