Visitors must comply with the facility guidelines regarding visitation. If you have questions regarding the visitation process, please call (770)499-4359.

There are special considerations for recognized holidays. These are:

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.

When sending money to an inmate, U.S. Postal money orders or Western Union wire transfers or are preferred. Funds from both these sources are immediately credited to the inmate’s account for use as a bond (where applicable) or for purchases from the commissary. There is a minimum of a 10-day waiting period on any other type of money orders. Personal checks will not be accepted. Please do not send cash 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.
