How to Get Approved to Visit Someone at Wilcox State Prison

To schedule a visit with someone at Wilcox State Prison, you'll need to start with the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) Visitation Request Form. This form kicks off your approval process and is also how you request each scheduled visit. Take your time filling it out - getting it right the first time saves headaches later.

The form asks for basic information about you: name, date of birth, and ID type. You'll see options like Driver's License or State ID. Here's the catch - you must be at least 18 years old to select an ID Type option. If you're under 18, leave that field as the form allows rather than forcing an option that doesn't apply. Mismatched information can delay your request.

• ✓ Have your identification details ready before you start
• ✓ If you plan to select an ID Type (like Driver’s License or State ID), make sure you’re 18 or older
• ✓ Don’t guess on ID-related fields - enter the information exactly as it appears on your ID

Once you've completed the form, submit it directly to Wilcox State Prison. Submission methods can vary, so check the Wilcox State Prison facility information through GDC to confirm how they're currently accepting forms before you send anything.

The GDC Visitation Request Form is your gateway to becoming an approved visitor. It's also what you'll use each time you want to schedule a visit at Wilcox State Prison. I recommend saving a copy after your first submission - having your details handy makes future requests easier and keeps your information consistent.

Deadlines matter. For weekend visits, submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week. For state holidays, the cutoff is 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Miss these windows and you'll have to wait for the next available slot.

Tips

• ✓ Fill out the form completely and double-check your identifying details before you submit
• ✓ If you’re selecting an ID Type (Driver’s License or State ID), confirm you meet the “18 years or older” requirement
• ✓ Submit the completed form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated (Wilcox State Prison)
• ✓ Don’t wait until the last minute - weekend requests are due by 5:00 PM Wednesday, and holiday requests are due by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday

For step-by-step instructions, check GDC's visitation information and their "Visit an Inmate" materials - that's where the Visitation Request Form process is explained.
