Lincoln Parish Detention Center, LA

Staying in touch with someone at Lincoln Parish Detention Center means using the facility's approved communication system, typically run by a third-party vendor that handles phone calls, video visits, tablet messaging, and electronic photos. The person in custody places outgoing calls after booking. Incoming calls are restricted, so you can't call them directly. Expect all calls and electronic communications to be monitored or recorded. To get started, create an account with the approved vendor, register your contact details, and add funds to a prepaid or friends-and-family account. For remote video or tablet services, you'll need a compatible device, a supported browser or app, and a working webcam or microphone. For CVRA-related questions, Dy. Joanie Huffman is the coordinator (jhuffman@lincolnparish.org, 318-251-6408). The facility's main phone and address are also on file for public inquiries.

To add money to an inmate's account at Lincoln Parish Detention Center, first confirm the facility's accepted deposit methods and the third-party vendor (many Louisiana facilities use vendors like JPAY, but it varies). You can typically deposit through a vendor website or mobile app, vendor phone lines, lobby kiosks, or by mailing a money order. Have the inmate's state, facility, and inmate ID or CCN ready. Follow the vendor's deposit form instructions exactly to avoid delays. If you mail a money order, funds won't post until the vendor receives and processes it, and large deposits may take longer due to review. Check the facility's money page or vendor instructions for site codes, mailing details, limits, and expected posting times.
