Ouachita Parish Jail, LA

Louisiana institutions allow visitation, but each jail sets its own rules based on safety, security, and space. Expect local procedures at Ouachita Parish Jail. You'll need to be on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list before you arrive. The incarcerated person typically submits the visitor application rather than staff confirming details by phone. To get approved, complete a visitor application (often the Application for Visiting Privileges, Form C-02-008-A, or the facility's equivalent) and return it as directed. On visit day, register with staff, show an acceptable photo ID, and go through screening like a metal detector and possible searches. Arrive before any posted cutoff time. Late arrivals can be turned away. People in intake status usually cannot receive visits, though an immediate-family visit may be requested if intake is prolonged.

To contact someone at Ouachita Parish Correctional Center, start with the county facility page. It publishes the jail's phone, fax, and street address. The same county listings include contact details for related local sites like City of Faith–Monroe, TWP/NC, and Richwood. Detailed communication policy documents aren't available here, so confirm the current vendor, registration steps, payment options, and available services by calling the published numbers or checking the county listing. Across Louisiana, most jails route phone calls, video visits, tablet messaging, and electronic photos through approved third-party vendors. The vendor and setup process can differ by facility. Typically, people in custody place outgoing calls (incoming calls are limited), and electronic communications are often monitored. Common setup includes creating a vendor account, adding funds, and using a compatible app or device.

Sending money to someone at Ouachita Parish Jail is straightforward once you match your deposit to the vendor listed on the jail's page. Common options include online or mobile app, a vendor phone line, MoneyGram, a facility lobby kiosk, or mailing a money order. For electronic deposits, have the inmate's state, facility name, and inmate ID or CCN ready so the payment routes correctly. If you mail a money order, follow the vendor and facility instructions exactly, including any required contact details and payee wording. Never mail cash. Mailed money orders post only after vendor processing, and larger deposits may be delayed for departmental review. Always recheck site codes, addresses, limits, posting times, and kiosk locations before sending.
