Common questions
How do I send a letter to someone in a Georgia state prison?
Find the person's GDC ID and current facility, copy the facility's inmate-mail address, and write online. PieterPost formats and prints your letter, adds an envelope and postage, and mails the physical letter.
Which Georgia prison mailing address should I use?
Use the inmate-mail address on the current facility's GDC location page. Include the full legal or committed name, GDC ID, facility, and any housing line the facility requires.
How do I find a Georgia inmate's GDC ID and facility?
Use the official GDC offender search for the GDC ID and current location, then use the GDC location directory for the matching correspondence address. Check again after a transfer.
How long can my Georgia prison letter be?
GDC does not publish one universal page limit on its family information page. Facility and property restrictions can apply, so check before sending an unusually long letter.
Does this Georgia guidance cover county jails and federal prisons?
No. This guidance is for adults in Georgia Department of Corrections state prisons. County jails, federal prisons, juvenile facilities, and other custody settings set their own mail rules.
