How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
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.
