Madison Parish Detention

You must be on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list before you can visit Madison Parish Detention. Confirm your approval before making the trip. To get added, the incarcerated person typically provides a visitor application that you complete and submit as directed by the facility. On visit day, register with staff, show a valid photo ID, and go through screening (metal detector and possible searches). Arrive early enough to make the cutoff time. Late arrivals may be turned away. You can only bring prescribed life-saving or life-sustaining medications like nitroglycerine, inhalers, or oxygen. Declare these at check-in and bring only enough for the visit. Need ADA accommodations? Contact the facility ahead of time so staff can make arrangements.

Madison Parish Detention uses JPay to handle deposits to an incarcerated person's account. Visitors cannot give money directly to someone inside the facility. You can add funds online through JPay, by phone, at MoneyGram walk-up locations, at facility kiosks, or by mailing a money order to the vendor. Online and phone deposits accept Visa and MasterCard. Online transactions include processing fees. For phone deposits, call 1-800-574-5729 and have the person's state, facility, and inmate ID or CCN ready. Before sending money, double-check the vendor instructions for correct mailing details, site codes, deposit limits, and expected posting times. Do not mail cash.
