How to send messages, photos, and packages
Communication with someone at Dixon Corrections Institution runs through third-party vendors for phone and electronic messaging. You'll need to create an account before receiving calls or using video and messaging features. Calls to prepaid cell phones are restricted: set up an account with Securus and provide your primary residence information before calls to that cell number will go through. Never hand cash directly to a person in custody. Louisiana DPS&C uses JPAY and accepts deposits through mail, MoneyGram, internet, telephone, and kiosk locations. To locate someone or confirm your options, use Louisiana's LAVNS or the Imprisoned Person Locator, then complete vendor registration and funding. Calls and messages may be monitored. Visitors must follow visiting-area bans on electronics, cameras, tobacco, alcohol, and controlled substances.
