Riverbend Detention Center is listed on the East Carroll Parish Sheriff’s website with a clear shortcut for payments: a link labeled “To transfer funds to an inmate.” If you want the most direct, facility-approved route, start there - clicking that link is how the Sheriff’s site sends you to the payment/transfer portal.

Touchpay is the payment portal used for making deposits, and it’s built for round-the-clock use. The portal states that it allows the acceptance and posting of transactions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and it also advertises “instantaneous posting of transactions” to the inmate account. In practice, that means you can make a payment anytime, and the system is designed to credit it right away on the account side.

Touchpay advertises “instantaneous posting of transactions” to the inmate account. That’s helpful when you’re trying to cover basics quickly, but remember that “posted to the account” is the portal’s wording - how soon someone can actually use those funds can depend on the facility’s internal process for purchases.

If you run into issues - wrong person selected, a payment that doesn’t look right, or you’re not sure which option to choose - calling the facility is usually the fastest way to get unstuck. Riverbend Detention Center’s main phone is (318) 559-5980, and the Riverbend listing also shows 318-559-3447 and 318-559-0942 as contact numbers you can try.

Touchpay isn’t only for online card payments. The portal also indicates it accepts Walk-In Retail payments - cash payments made locally. If you prefer to pay in cash, confirm which walk-in retail location(s) apply to Riverbend before you head out.

A few practical details aren’t spelled out in the information above and are worth verifying before you submit a payment. Touchpay lists Visa/Mastercard and walk-in cash options and says transactions post instantaneously, but it doesn’t provide Riverbend-specific details like the exact fees you’ll be charged, where the walk-in payment location is (and its hours), what identification is required for walk-in cash payments, or whether the facility enforces deposit limits.

• ✓ What fees apply to your deposit
• ✓ Whether walk-in retail (cash) payments are available for Riverbend, and where to go
• ✓ When posted funds are actually available for the person to use
• ✓ What identifying information you need to successfully credit the right account
