Visitation Support

Helping You Get to Your Loved One — One Mile at a Time

At LockedIN HOPE, we understand that the cost of visiting a prison can be a burden — especially when you’re traveling hours away, managing childcare, or navigating life on a tight budget.

That’s why we’re committed to helping families stay connected to their loved ones through safe, supported transportation solutions.

Transportation Assistance

We offer the following support services to help get you there:

🚌 Group Visitation Van (monthly) to local facilities – Dekalb, Forsyth
⛽ Gas Cards for mothers who can drive themselves but need fuel assistance
🚗 Rideshare Credits (Uber/Lyft) for shorter distances — funded through donations
📝 Transportation Grant Application – fill out to request one-time or recurring help
💼 Volunteer Driver Network – trained and trusted community drivers

We will help you prepare to Visit Your Loved One — One Step at a Time
