Louisiana Corr. Inst, St Gabriel, LA

To visit someone at the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women (St. Gabriel), you must be approved and listed on the incarcerated person's visiting list. LCIW runs criminal-record checks as part of approval, and you won't be admitted while your application is still pending, so plan ahead. Visitor applications must be submitted by mail (faxed applications are not accepted), and visits are only scheduled after the facility completes its acceptance process. Visiting privileges may be denied or revoked for people with certain felony histories or multiple felony charges. The number of adults allowed per visit depends on the incarcerated person's custody level. On visit day, expect registration, screening, and admission cutoff times. Bring a valid photo ID and arrive before the cutoff.

Communication at Louisiana Corr. Inst., St Gabriel is handled through an approved third-party vendor that supports phone calls, video visits, tablet messaging, and sometimes electronic photos. The exact vendor and sign-up steps can vary, so start by confirming which provider St Gabriel uses. In most cases, the person in custody places outgoing calls rather than receiving incoming ones. Calls and electronic messages are typically monitored. To get connected, create a vendor account, register your contact details, and preload funds so calls or video sessions can go through. For remote video and messaging, you'll also need a compatible device and the vendor's supported browser or app. Follow all scheduling and content rules.

Sending money to someone at Louisiana Corr. Inst. (St. Gabriel) usually goes through JPay or a similar deposit vendor, but the exact vendor and options can vary. Confirm St. Gabriel's current instructions before you pay. Louisiana facilities commonly offer deposits online or in an app, by vendor phone line, at a facility kiosk, via MoneyGram, or by mailed money order. You'll typically need the inmate's state, the facility name, and the inmate ID or CCN. Follow the deposit form exactly and write clearly. If you mail funds, send only a money order (no cash) and make it payable as required. Mailed money orders post after vendor processing, and larger amounts may take longer due to review. The department also provides structured pre-release instruction and Reentry Accountability Plans.
