Visiting Hours and Lobby Kiosk Check‑In at Lafayette Parish Correctional Center

Lafayette Parish Correctional Center’s published visitation hours are: Monday–Friday: 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM Saturday–Sunday: 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM

LPCC has a specific timing rule: you must arrive at the lobby kiosk 38 minutes before your scheduled visit. This isn't bonus time with your loved one - it's built in for check-in and the facility's security process. Show up right at your visit time, and you're already too late.

Visiting Hours and Lobby Kiosk Check‑In at Lafayette Parish Correctional Center

Practical Checklist

  • ✓ Double-check the day and time you plan to visit so it falls within LPCC’s posted hours (Monday–Friday 7:30 AM–9:00 PM; Saturday–Sunday 7:30 AM–2:30 PM).
  • ✓ Build in travel time so you’re not rushing - traffic, parking, and lines can eat up your buffer.
  • ✓ Plan to be at the facility 38 minutes before your scheduled visit time so you can register via the lobby kiosk.
  • ✓ If you’re 18 or older, have your photo ID ready every time you visit.

Running late or worried about a backed-up kiosk line? Call the facility before you make the drive - or as soon as you realize you won't hit that 38-minute window. Missing the check-in cutoff often means losing your visit entirely, so it's worth checking your options right away.

The main exception is when the correctional facility itself exempts specific calls or visits from recording - typically for protected communications - so the facility’s rules are what ultimately control what is and isn’t treated as private.
