How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting starts with paperwork. The offender must give you the Application for Visiting Privileges (Form C-02-008-A). Complete it and mail it to the facility—faxes aren't accepted. Your application has to be approved and on file before you can visit; the offender gets notified of approval or denial and then lets you know. When you arrive, register before entering the visiting area. Adults (18+) need acceptable photo ID: a driver's license, state ID, active-duty military ID, or passport. Leave personal items locked in your vehicle—cell phones, recording equipment, tobacco, and other contraband aren't allowed in the visiting area. Infants are permitted with limited supplies stored in a single clear plastic container. Offenders in intake status generally can't receive visits unless an immediate-family visit gets special authorization.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
Visiting at East Carrol Corrections Facility Phase 3 is a privilege, and the easiest way to protect it is to show up prepared.

Visiting rules at East Carroll Corrections Facility Phase 3 follow Louisiana Department of Corrections guidelines for who qualifies and who may face restrictions. Wondering if you'll be approved? Whether you're family, have a prior record, or work for the Department, this guide covers the eligibility categories and situations where extra verification or special permission comes into play.
Ask the offender for the Application for Visiting Privileges (Form C-02-008-A). Fill it out and mail the signed form to the facility—faxes are not accepted. You can’t visit until your application is approved and on file, and the offender will be notified of the decision.
A prior conviction by itself does not automatically disqualify you. Ex-offenders, parolees, and probationers are also not automatically disqualified; an approval letter from your supervising officer (Form OP-C-9-e) creates a presumption of eligibility.
You’ll register with staff before entering the visiting area. If you’re 18 or older, bring an acceptable photo ID (driver’s license, state photo ID, active-duty military ID, or passport). Expect screening such as a metal detector and possible searches, and arrive before the facility’s cutoff time to be admitted.
Bringing an infant to East Carroll Phase 3? Pack light. The facility allows only a short list of infant items, each with strict quantity or size limits. Anything that doesn't meet the rules stays out of the visiting area—so count and pack carefully before you leave home.
You can't hand cash directly to someone who's incarcerated during a visit. At East Carroll Phase 3, all deposits go through JPay—the system Louisiana state correctional facilities use to fund an incarcerated person's account.
