Visitation rules and hours specific to Caddo Correctional Center weren't available here, so use Louisiana DOC guidance as your baseline and confirm local details before you travel. Start by making sure you're on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list. Complete any required Application for Visiting Privileges the way the facility instructs. On visit day, you'll register with staff, show a valid photo ID, and go through security screening (metal detector and possible searches). Arrive early enough to meet the posted cutoff time. Late arrivals can be turned away. Visits are a privilege and can be restricted or ended for rule violations. Some Louisiana facilities only allow prescribed life-saving medication if you declare it at the visiting desk. If someone is still in intake status, visits are typically not allowed, though immediate-family exceptions may be requested through reception.
Caddo Correctional Center uses JPAY for deposits to an incarcerated person's account. You can send money through JPAY online, in the mobile app, by phone, at a kiosk (if available), or at a MoneyGram walk-up location. Mailing a deposit is also an option, but mailed funds must be sent as a money order and should follow both vendor and facility instructions, including any required forms. Fees, deposit limits, processing times, and required site codes vary by location, so check JPAY and facility instructions before sending anything. To avoid delays or rejected deposits, include the person's identifying information (state, facility, and inmate ID/CCN) and fill out every detail exactly as required.
