Napoleonville Detention Center, LA

Before visiting Napoleonville Detention Center, confirm you're on the imprisoned person's approved visiting list—only listed visitors get in. On visit day, register with staff. Visitors 18 and older need an accepted photo ID. Expect screening: metal detectors, K‑9s, and ion scanners may be used on you, your vehicle, and your belongings. Personal electronics, cameras, recording devices, tobacco, and controlled substances aren't allowed in the visiting area. Limited prescribed medication and certain baby items may be permitted if you declare them at the visiting desk. You can't hand over cash directly—use JPAY to deposit money. Contact visits allow a brief hug or kiss at the start and end, plus hand-holding during the visit. Some individuals are restricted to non-contact visits only. Check the facility locations page for visiting hours, and request ADA accommodations ahead of time.

Napoleonville Detention Center uses Securus Technologies for phone calls. People in custody can only place outgoing collect calls, typically limited to 15 minutes. Under facility Regulation B-08-001, each person maintains an approved master phone list with up to 20 numbers, updated quarterly. Prepaid cell phones can't receive calls. If you want to receive approved calls on a cell number, you'll need to set up a Securus account and provide primary residence information for approval. JPay offers secure electronic messaging with photo attachments—usually faster than regular mail. Media outlets cannot be added to phone lists, use electronic communication platforms, or send money to people in custody.

Several options exist for adding money to an inmate's account at Napoleonville Detention Center: mailed money orders, MoneyGram walk‑up locations, JPay online or by phone, and lobby kiosks. The lobby kiosks accept credit/debit cards or cash, with deposits typically posting within two days. Cash deposits from $0.01 through $500 carry a $4 fee; credit/debit kiosk fees match internet fees. Deposits of $500 or more trigger an investigation, which may delay when funds become available. All deposits are handled under Department Regulation B-09-003 (Offender Banking). Follow vendor and mail instructions carefully, and always include the inmate's state, facility, and identifying number to avoid delays.
