Visitation at River Bend Detention Center
How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Overview
Start with Riverbend Detention Center's public page for the basics: it lists the contact phone number, facility address, and links for transferring funds and arranging video visits. Before you make the trip, confirm you're on the person's approved visiting list—most Louisiana facilities require this, and the easiest way to verify is through the person you plan to visit. On visit day, expect routine check-in: register with staff, show a valid photo ID, and go through screening like a metal detector or pat-down. If you're using the public roster to track someone, treat it as a starting point only. The facility says it can't guarantee the roster's accuracy, so confirm details through official channels. For general administrative questions, check the parish sheriff's office hours.
