How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
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.
