Visitation at Raymond Laborde Corrections, LA

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visiting Raymond Laborde C.C. starts with two basics: you must be on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list, and you'll need to register with staff before entering the visiting area.

Visitors under 18 must come with a parent or legal guardian and can't be left alone on facility grounds. Leave prohibited items behind. Controlled substances, alcohol, tobacco, cameras, recording equipment, and electronics (cell phones, pagers, SIM cards, chargers) are all contraband. Infant items are allowed only in very limited amounts. During contact visits, one embrace and a brief kiss are permitted at the beginning and end. While visiting, only holding hands is allowed, and staff can end visits for safety or security reasons.

How to Get on an Inmate's Visiting List at Raymond Laborde C.C.

Common Questions

Can an offender in intake status receive visits at Raymond Laborde C.C.?

Generally, no. Offenders in intake status are not allowed visitation, though special immediate-family visits may be approved under reception center procedures.

What ID do I need to bring to visit Raymond Laborde C.C.?

Adults must present a valid photo ID: a driver’s license, state photo ID, active-duty military photo ID, or passport. Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and can’t be left alone on facility grounds.

Can someone with a prior criminal conviction or who is on supervision visit an inmate?

A prior conviction doesn’t automatically bar visitation, but the warden or designee can deny visits for security reasons in writing. Ex-offenders, parolees, or probationers may be allowed to visit with approval and may need documentation from a supervising officer; people with sex-crime convictions involving minors are generally not eligible to visit minors without special approval.

Sending Money to Someone at Raymond Laborde C.C.: JPay Steps and Deposit Limits

Want to help someone at Raymond Laborde C.C.? Don't bring cash to hand over during a visit—Louisiana DOC rules prohibit visitors from giving money directly to an imprisoned person. Louisiana state correctional facilities use JPay for deposits instead. It's the state-authorized method for adding funds to someone's account (including deposits sent by mail), so your money goes through the system the facility actually processes.
