How to Visit Concordia Parish Corr. Facility (LA)

Not sure if you're on someone's approved visiting list? Ask the person you want to visit directly. The facility won't give out that information over the phone. Several other details you'll need aren't covered here: visiting hours, accepted IDs, dress code, what you can bring, and whether appointments are required. Before making the drive, confirm those basics through your contact inside or the facility's official channels.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ If you must carry prescribed life-saving or life-sustaining medication, bring only what you need for the visit and tell staff at the visiting desk that you have it.
• ✓ If you don’t know whether you’re approved to visit, contact the incarcerated person. Do not call the facility to ask if you’re on the list.
• ✓ Before you travel, verify the current visiting hours, ID requirements, dress code, allowed items, and any scheduling rules through the incarcerated person or official facility guidance.

If you take prescription medication, confirm the exact procedure before your visit. The core rule: only life-saving or life-sustaining medication is permitted, and you must notify staff at the visiting desk if you have it. Ask ahead whether it needs to stay in its labeled prescription container, whether you'll need documentation, and whether staff will store it or require you to keep it visible.

1. Confirm you’re on the approved visiting list by contacting the person you plan to visit. If you’re not sure, do not call the facility for that information.
2. Verify visiting days and hours so you don’t arrive on a non-visiting day or outside the check-in window.
3. Ask what identification is required and whether there are any restrictions on expired IDs.
4. Check the dress code and follow the strictest version if you’re unsure.
5. Confirm what you can bring in (keys, paperwork, money, car seat items, etc.) and what must stay in your vehicle.
6. Ask about health or screening requirements that could affect entry on the day you arrive.
7. Plan for minors, if applicable by confirming who must accompany them and what documents are needed.
8. Find out if you must schedule in advance or if visits are first-come, first-served.

For the most reliable details, start with the person you're visiting. They're usually given instructions on visiting lists and local procedures. Check the facility's official sources for current rules and any last-minute changes. Policies shift, so treat older guidance as a starting point and confirm before you go.
