How to send messages, photos, and packages
Nelson Coleman Corr. Center uses video visitation to reduce inmate transports and lower the risk of contraband entering the facility. The sheriff's microwave links also let local courts conduct arraignments by video conferencing, which cuts down on how often people in custody need to be moved to court. For day-to-day remote contact, most Louisiana facilities rely on approved third-party vendors for phone calls, video visits, tablet messaging, and electronic photos. The specific vendor and sign-up steps vary by facility. After booking, people in custody can typically make outgoing calls. Incoming calls are usually restricted, and you should expect all calls and electronic communications to be monitored. Using these services generally requires a vendor account, available funds, and a compatible device with a supported app or browser.
