How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
How you add money to someone's account at Raymond Laborde C.C. depends on the methods the facility accepts. Many Louisiana facilities use a vendor such as JPAY for online, app, or kiosk deposits. Other options may include MoneyGram or mailed money orders. Before sending anything, double-check that you have the required details: the state, facility name, and the inmate's ID or CCN. Follow the vendor or facility instructions exactly so funds post correctly. Be aware of fees and deposit limits. Third-party services set their own transaction charges and maximum amounts, and some list specific posting times. If you mail a payment, send a money order only, never cash, and follow the mailing instructions precisely. Mailed money orders post after processing, and larger deposits may be reviewed.
