Getting on the Visiting List at Sabine Parish Detention: What to Know

You must be on the person's approved visiting list to see them. Show up without approval, and staff will turn you away - even if you've driven hours and brought everything you need. Before you take time off work, arrange childcare, or make the trip, confirm your name has been added and approved.

Usually, the person you want to visit starts the process. They're given information on how to add visitors to their list. Not sure if you're already approved? Ask them directly. Once you've confirmed you're on the list, then plan your visit.

Even after you're approved, there's a check-in step when you arrive. You'll need to register with staff before entering the visiting area. Build in extra time and be ready to follow their instructions.

Want the official rules in writing? You can request Department Regulation OP-C-9 from the facility. It covers the specific rules governing visitation and the privileges tied to it.

Can't reach your loved one to confirm your status? Call the detention center or jail directly. Keep your questions focused: ask what the facility needs from you to confirm your approval, and whether there are any steps to complete before you visit.

Visitation is a privilege, not a guaranteed right. Visits can be restricted, denied, or suspended if either you or the person in custody breaks the rules. To avoid problems that could affect future visits, request OP-C-9 and follow it closely. What happens during a visit can impact both of you.
