Madison Correctional Facility, La

Getting approved to visit Madison Correctional Facility starts with the Application for Visiting Privileges (Form C-02-008-A). The person you're visiting must send you this form—faxed applications aren't accepted. Every visit, adults 18 and older need a photo ID: a state driver's license, state photo ID, active-duty military photo ID, or passport. If your loved one is in intake, visits typically aren't allowed during the first 30 days. If intake extends beyond that, you can request a special visit with approval. Be ready for screening—staff may search vehicles, property, and people using metal detectors, ion scanning, and K-9 units. Refuse a search and your visit ends. Contraband is strictly prohibited: no electronic devices, alcohol, tobacco, or controlled substances. Limited prescribed life-saving medication may be allowed if you notify staff.

People in custody at Madison Correctional Facility can only make outgoing collect calls, usually limited to about 15 minutes each. When a call comes through, you can accept or refuse the charges. Securus Technologies handles phone service for the facility—for billing questions or call problems, contact them at 1-800-844-6591. Phone, video, and electronic messaging run through approved third-party vendors, and sign-up and payment steps depend on which vendor is used. For remote services, you'll typically need to create an account and add funds before calls or messages can go through. Expect outgoing calls and electronic communications to be monitored. Incoming calls are restricted.

Madison Correctional Facility uses JPAY for all money deposits. You can add funds through JPAY's website or app, by phone, at facility kiosks, at participating MoneyGram locations, or by mailing a JPay money order. Never give cash directly to someone during a visit—all deposits must go through JPAY or another approved vendor. Mailing a JPay money order for a Louisiana inmate? Send it to JPay PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153 and follow JPAY's instructions exactly. Before sending money, double-check the person's state, facility name, and inmate ID/CCN. Mailed money orders go through vendor intake and may take time to post.

Looking for someone at Madison Correctional Facility? Start with Louisiana's Automated Victim Notification System (LAVNS) for an online search. You can also call the Imprisoned Person Locator at 225-383-4580 with the person's DPS&C number. For broader searches, try state tools first—LAVNS or the Louisiana DOC offender locator—and search by name, location, or offender ID. If the person doesn't appear in state systems, check local parish or city jail booking rosters for the jurisdiction where they were arrested. You can register for custody-status notifications to get alerts about status changes or court events. Have their full name, date of birth, any known aliases, and DOC/offender number ready.
