This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Coweta Co Prison located at 560 Greison Tr in Newnan, GA are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

Visitation Rules – With the completion of the video visitation center, face-to-face visits no longer occur at the Coweta County Jail. Visitors, who are on the inmate’s visitation list, are assigned to a video monitor in the center during that inmate's scheduled visitation time. The inmate is then taken to the visitation area in the jail and assigned to a monitor that is connected to the visitation center. Attorneys will have the option to visit their client by video from a private booth or will be able to have face-to-face contact in the jail area. The new video visitation center also includes a larger waiting area for bonding persons out and an area for people to speak with bondsman.
Inmate is allowed only one (1) visiting session each scheduled visitation day.
Inmates in disciplinary segregation may be visited only by their attorneys, law enforcement officials, and the facility chaplains.
Each visit is limited to fifteen (15) minutes. A maximum of four individuals (including children over two years of age) will be permitted to visit during a visitation session. Children under two years of age are not allowed to visit.
Visitors must complete the registration process at the visitation desk fifteen (15) minutes before the scheduled visitation to attend the current visitation session. After registration, the visitor must remain in the lobby until the inmate’s name is called.
All visitors must pass a security screening process similar to that for air travel. Only two attempts to successfully complete the screening will be permitted. For this reason, visitors should leave all personal items in their vehicles. The only items allowed are the visitor's ID and one (1) automobile key.
Visitors who have criminal records or who have been previously incarcerated may not be allowed to visit. This decision will be made on a case by case basis. Intoxicated visitors are not allowed to visit and may be arrested. Food, drink, and tobacco products are not allowed in the lobby, visitation area, or anywhere within the facility.
- All visitors under the age of eighteen must be accompanied by an adult.
- All visitors sixteen years of age and older must present a government-issued photo identification card in order to visit.

- Visitors are not allowed to pass anything to inmates. Attempting to pass items could result in criminal prosecution.
- Visitors are not permitted to stand or loiter anywhere near a perimeter fence.
- Visitors are not permitted to attempt to communicate with inmates from the facility parking lot. Such actions will result in the individual being barred from the premises and his/her visitation privileges suspended or revoked.

- Visitors must be appropriately dressed in order to visit an inmate.
