Visitation

Inmate Mail

Correspondence and/or money may be sent to an inmate at the below listed address:

Address   Sample
Cobb County Jail   Cobb County Jail
Inmate Name, Inmate Location and ID Number   John Doe, B1-993, 999123
P.O. Box 100110   PO BOX 100110
Marietta, GA 30061   Marietta, GA 30061


It is important to include the full name of the inmate when sending correspondence since it is not unusual to have more than one inmate with the same name. If the inmate’s housing location or ID number is known, please include this information as well. The inmate location is the housing area for the inmate. The inmate ID number is a specific identifier for the inmate, as more than one inmate may have the same name. You may use our online services to determine the SOID and location. It is located on the left navigational bar under the label Inmate Records.

When sending money to an inmate through the mail, please send US Postal Money Orders. Other types of money orders and checks are not accepted. We also request that no cash be sent through the mail since it can be easily lost or stolen. The Sheriff's Office will not assume responsibility for any cash sent through the mail that is lost or stolen.

Unfortunately, there are many ways that drugs and other contraband can be introduced into a jail facility. As a result, the following common items which lend themselves to the introduction of contraband may not be sent to an inmate in custody:

  • stamps,
  • stationery,
  • writing instruments,
  • items containing glue,
  • oversized greeting cards,
  • credit cards,
  • blank checks,
  • plastic items,
  • jewelry,
  • anything used to conduct a business,
  • candy,
  • food,
  • Polaroid pictures or sexually explicit photographs.

    • Telephone Calls

    Inmates may not receive incoming phone calls. Absent disciplinary restrictions, an inmate is free to place phone calls daily from 9:00 A.M. until 10:00 P.M. There is a service fee charged by the phone service provider to the called party. The rates charged are regulated and approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission.

    If you believe that your telephone bill contains an error or if a block has been placed on your phone due to billing issues, call CBS Billing at (800) 844-6591. If you are receiving unwanted calls from an inmate, you may request a block on your number by calling the Inmate Telephone Coordinator at the jail, Monday through Friday, during the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The telephone number is (770)499-4316.

    Inmate Money, in general:

    When an individual is booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, any money that is in his or her possession is counted, receipted, and entered into a banking system. Although Cobb County provides for the necessities of each person residing at the jail, this banking system allows the Inmate to purchase additional commissary items usually on a weekly basis. The inmate can also use this money to make their own bond. If you would like to contribute to the Inmate's account balance, payments may be sent through the mail using US Postal Money Orders. Money can be wired to the Cobb County Adult Detention Center through the Western Union System of Quick Collect. Please call 770-499-4200 for additional information on Western Union Quick Collect. We also accept cash and US Postal money orders in person at the Visitation Center daily from 9am until 8:30 pm. The Visitation Center is located on the right corner of 1825 County Services Parkway before entering the Adult Detention Center Complex.
