Sabine Parish Detention

To visit at Sabine Parish Detention, you must be on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list. They're responsible for adding you. All adult visitors (18 and older) need photo ID at every visit: a driver's license, state photo ID, military ID, or passport. Expect screening. Visitors and property, including vehicles, may be searched using metal detectors, ion scanning, or K-9s. Refusing a search can end the visit. Don't bring prohibited items into the visiting area, including cell phones, recording equipment, controlled substances, alcohol, or tobacco. Video visitation is treated as a special visit under OP-C-9. Intake-status offenders don't receive visits unless a special visit is approved when intake exceeds 30 days. The facility limits visits to six visitors at one time and allows limited baby items in a clear plastic container.

Sabine Parish Detention offers web-based video visitation through Securus Video Connect. You can join using an app, computer, or tablet. To use remote video visits (and vendor-based phone services), create an account with the approved communications vendor, register your contact details, and keep enough funds in your account to book sessions. Calls and electronic communications are monitored. Don't expect direct incoming calls to be widely available. Before scheduling, make sure your device is compatible: you'll need a webcam, microphone, and a supported browser or app. Personal electronic devices are typically prohibited in the visiting area, so remote video from your own device at home is often the practical option.

Sabine Parish Detention requires money to be added through JPay or other approved vendors. You cannot give cash directly to an incarcerated person during a visit. Common options include mailed money orders, MoneyGram walk-up transfers, JPay deposits by internet or phone, and facility kiosks. Mailed money orders have no fee and a per-order maximum of $999.99. If you mail a JPay money order, send it to the JPay Miami Shores P.O. Box listed in JPay's instructions. It typically processes in about ten business days. Online JPay deposits are limited to $300 per transaction, have a 10 p.m. CST daily cut-off, and include standard internet fees. MoneyGram can send up to $4,999.99 and often posts in about two days. Deposits of $500 or more may be investigated. Confirm the person's state, facility, and ID before sending money.
