Visitation
To visit someone at Bossier Parish Jail, you need to be on their approved visitor list. Get the Application for Visiting Privileges (Form C-02-008-A) from the incarcerated person and submit it according to facility instructions. On visit day, bring a valid photo ID (driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID) and plan for registration and screening, including a metal detector and possible searches. Arrive early since there's an admission cutoff. Only life-saving or life-sustaining prescribed medication is allowed, limited to what you need for the visit, and you must disclose it at check-in. A past conviction alone won't automatically disqualify you, but the warden can deny visits for security reasons with written justification.
