Topic Overviews

Visitation

Visiting at West Baton Rouge Detention follows Louisiana DOC visitation policy, but the facility sets its own procedures and schedules based on safety and space. Before you go, make sure you're on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list. In many cases, the incarcerated person confirms your status rather than the facility verifying it by phone. People in intake status generally cannot receive visits, though some situations may allow an immediate-family visit by special request through reception procedures. On visit day, you'll register with staff, show a valid photo ID, and pass screening (typically a metal detector, possibly a search). Arrive before the facility's cutoff time for admission. West Baton Rouge Detention also offers GED, AA/NA, and non-denominational religious programming, with clergy access available by arrangement.
