How to Send Mail to Someone at Jefferson Parish Correctional Center
Get the name and CCN right, use the correct P.O. Box, and your letter has a much better chance of reaching your person without delays.
Write the inmate's name on the envelope exactly as it was used at the time of incarceration. A nickname or different version of their name can slow things down or prevent the letter from being matched to the right person.
Include the inmate's CCN number on the envelope. The CCN is how JPCC staff route mail to the right person, especially when multiple inmates share similar names.
- ✓ Add the inmate’s dorm number on the envelope.
- ✓ If you know it, add the inmate’s cell or bed number on the envelope.
Address all inmate mail to JPCC using the Inmate Housing Area P.O. Box: JPCC Inmate Housing Area P.O. Box 388 Gretna, LA 70053
Don't have the inmate's CCN or current housing details (like dorm, cell, or bed)? Call 504-368-5360 to get that information. Have whatever identifying details you can ready so staff can locate the correct person.
