Because of concerns for the safety and wellness of both staff and inmates at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, contact visits of any type may be suspended. Even if they have visits, from time to time, face masks may be required.
Approved Non-contact visits with family, friends and the inmate’s lawyers may still be allowed when at-home or onsite video visitation is not available, however given that new guidelines are changing daily please check the visitation page or call 404-613-2149 for updates.
At-home and onsite video visitation guidelines for Fulton County Jail, when this service is available, can be found by going to the visitation information page.
We highly recommend that you call 404-613-2149 first for any changes due to staff shortages or other unforeseen circumstances, including whether your inmate has become ill and is unable to be in the general population where video kiosks are available.
Experts in the study of the COVID-19 are anticipating that spread of the virus will be a ongoing concern for Fulton County, the state of Georgia and the entire United States until well into 2024 and maybe even beyond. We are witnessing the virus becoming more contagious, but less deadly over time. Many people think that the 'more contagious, but less deadly' variants will infect so many people that a higher level of natural immunity for the majority of Americans will be the end result.
Whether the inmates are safe from contracting the coronavirus depends entirely on two things:
At this stage most people who get the coronavirus show very few symptoms beyond what you might experience with a bad cold or a mild case of the common flu. Newer variants are turning out to be less deadly than the common flu we experience every year.
Studies that have been done are showing that the hardest hit are those 60 years of age and older, those with pre-existing medical issues like diabetes, leukemia or obese individuals. Young men and women rarely become very ill, and when they do, seem to recover quickly.
Given the close proximity of inmates and staff to each other in this lockup, it is going to be very difficult to prevent the spread of COVID-19 once it is introduced into the facility as the virus can spread via the microscopic vapor that we release every time we speak, cough or sneeze.
We will continuously update this page as the virus changes and new policies are instituted.
Whatever cash the inmate has on their person when booked into the facility will automatically deposited and credited to their account. When released any money left in the account will be returned to them in the form of a check from the Sheriff's Department or the Fulton County Jail Trust Account. There may be circumstances where the inmate can give permission to have his money released to a family member or friend.
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the Fulton County Jail in person.
901 Rice Street, NW
Atlanta, GA 30318
Use the self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards. (occasionally the kiosk will not accept cards, so bring cash... no $1.00 bills!)
You'll need to know the Inmate's SO #.
There is a $4.00 fee for this.
Option 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person.
Never send cash. Always send a US Postal Money Order only.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate and put their Inmate SO# in memo section of the Money Order.
The envelope must be clearly marked "INMATE ACCOUNTING"
Mail to the Fulton County Jail:
Inmate's Full Name & SO # and Cell#
Fulton County Jail
901 Rice Street, NW
Atlanta, GA 30318
Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
Call 404-613-2024 to ask any questions about this.
Option 3 - Deposit Money Online with Access Corrections
You'll need to know the Inmate's SO #. There is a fee. Depending on the amount, fees start at $2.95.
