How to Deposit Money Into Someone's Account While Visiting Raymond Laborde (Using the On‑Site Kiosk)
  1. Go to the visitation processing building - the on-site deposit option is handled there.
  2. Find the deposit kiosk - deposits made during visits are done at the kiosk in the visitation processing building.
  3. Start a deposit on the screen - follow the kiosk prompts to begin the transaction.
  4. Enter the imprisoned person’s details - use the name and any identifying information the kiosk asks for, then double-check you selected the right person before you confirm.

Can't use the kiosk during your visit? Other options may be available - mailing a money order, using a walk-in money transfer service, or depositing by phone or online through a third-party provider. Rules and options change, so check the facility's official instructions or deposit forms to confirm what's currently accepted.

Tip: If a kiosk deposit fails or you need help with another deposit method, check the customer support info on your deposit paperwork - or ask staff in the visitation processing area for the current help number.
