Sending money to someone at Saint Landry Parish Jail is straightforward once you know your options. Here are the two accepted deposit methods—plus what happens if the person owes money from a previous stay.
At the St. Landry Parish Jail, commissary is set up on a twice-weekly rhythm. Orders are delivered on Mondays and Thursdays, so you can plan around two delivery days each week. Keep in mind deliveries can be affected by holidays, so if timing matters (like you’re trying to get items in before a court date or a weekend), it’s smart to place the order early rather than right at the cutoff.
Visiting at Saint Landry Parish Correctional Center is treated as a privilege, and staff can deny, revoke, or limit a visit if it would threaten the safety, security, or good order of the facility—or if visitation rules aren’t followed. That can mean you’re turned away at the door, or a visit that already started gets ended early. If you want to avoid a wasted trip, focus on the handful of rules below that most often lead to denial.
Trying to confirm whether someone is in custody? Start with the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster. It's hosted directly on the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office site, so the page should clearly say "St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster."
Messaging at Saint Landry Parish Jail runs through JailATM, and the costs can add up if you don’t understand the subscription and auto-refill. Here’s how the tablet time works, how messaging is billed, and when a Gold Pass is worth it.
