Finding someone first
Nothing below works without two things: confirmation that the person is at Paulding Probation Detention Center, and their CDCR number. Book a visit without them and you will be turned away; post a letter without the number and the mailroom cannot route it.
The Georgia Department of Corrections publishes a public offender search covering people in GDC facilities. Search by name, ID or case number. GDC states it makes no warranty as to accuracy or completeness.
Phone calls, money and mail
Llamadas
Georgia DC phone service is provided by Securus. GDC publishes a flat rate of 8 cents per minute for every call type — local, long distance, and international alike — so a maximum-length 25-minute call costs $2.00 (international adds carrier fees, and GDC notes the posted rates exclude taxes and regulatory fees). Set up a prepaid collect or direct-bill account at the Securus website or by calling 1-800-844-6591 before expecting calls; multiple phone numbers can sit on one prepaid account, and calls originate from inside only. An offender can also move money from their trust account to a Securus debit calling account in $1 increments. Calls are capped at 25 minutes, may be monitored and recorded, and can only reach numbers on the offender's Call Allow List. Call forwarding and three-way calling are not permitted.
Putting money on the books
Georgia's first rule: you must be on the offender's approved visitor list to send money by any method — deposits from anyone else are rejected. The free route: GDC's own money-order voucher system — print the voucher, mail it with a money order, no fee, allow up to two weeks. Faster, fee-charging routes all run through JPay: online or the app ($3.50 on deposits under $20, $5.00 to $100, $6.50 above that), by phone 24/7 at 1-800-574-5729, or cash via MoneyGram at CVS and Walmart using Georgia DOC receiver code 6857 ($4.95). GDC caps deposits at $200 each. Money sent for probation supervision uses a different receiver code (6901) — don't mix them up.
Writing to someone here
Georgia does not route incoming mail through a central scanning center the way Florida and Texas now do — reporting on state mail policies describes Georgia inmates as still receiving actual physical mail. Address letters with the offender's full name and GDC ID number to the facility's own mailing address, which is on that prison's page here, not to a PO box in another city. Georgia's administrative rules (Ga. Comp. R. 125-3-3) govern the rest: all incoming and outgoing non-privileged mail is subject to inspection and random reading, the superintendent may reject correspondence judged a threat to security or good order, and mail between inmates is inspected for contraband. Privileged legal mail is handled separately. Secondary reporting puts the enclosure limit at 25 pages per envelope, but GDC publishes no consolidated mail page, so confirm limits with the facility before mailing a thick envelope. Never enclose cash or a money order with a letter — money has its own voucher process. Electronic messaging is available through JPay, where the message arrives on a kiosk or tablet.

Jail411 is an independent information resource for families and friends. We are not a government agency, jail operator, law firm or live custody-records service.
Can Jail411 tell me if someone is in custody right now?
No. Jail411 does not hold live custody records. Use the official locator for the county, state, federal or ICE system that has the person; start here if you do not know which.
Does posting bond mean the person comes home?
Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county's warrant or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you pay.
What should I confirm before visiting?
The person's current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility page and its official sources before you travel.
What if I find something that needs correcting?
Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Include the official source when you have one. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
