Visitation at St. Landry Parish Jail, LA

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visitation at St. Landry Parish Jail follows Louisiana DOC guidance, but the jail sets its own procedures based on safety and space. Before visiting, you need to be on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list. The facility typically won't confirm your approval status by phone, so ask the person you plan to visit to verify you're cleared. To get approved, the incarcerated person starts the request, and you complete an Application for Visiting Privileges as the facility directs. On visit day, plan to register with staff, arrive before the cutoff time, and go through screening (metal detector and possible searches). Bring a valid photo ID if you're an adult.
