Inmate visitation rules have been updated at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center (JPCC). Onsite visitations are no longer permitted. Instead, families and friends can visit inmates through the new online/video visitation system or by visiting the offsite video visitation center.
There are two ways to visit through video visitation:
To participate in the online visitation system, you must schedule your visit using the Securus online system or the Securus Video Visit app. Sign up for the system at www.videovisitanywhere.com, submit a picture and government photo ID for facility approval, and once approved, schedule your visit. Enjoy video visits from anywhere with internet access using your Android or Apple device with a webcam. The Securus Video Visit app is available for free download. For assistance, contact the Securus Video Visitation Help Line at 1-877-578-3658.
The offsite video visitation center has specific visiting hours, which are provided in the information. Visitation hours have been expanded to allow more access to loved ones. Remote visits incur a charge of $12.99 per 20-minute visit. Visitors must register with the Securus Visitation System, whether visiting at the Visitation Center or remotely, by following the steps at https://securustech.net/steps-to-register. All visits must be scheduled in advance, with no walk-in visits allowed. Visits can be scheduled up to two weeks in advance and must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance, or the visit will count as completed. Off-street parking is available for free in the parking lot at the Visitation Center.
Inmates at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center (JPCC) are allowed to receive mail. When sending mail to an inmate, include the inmate's name at the time of incarceration, the inmate's CCN number, the dorm number, and the cell or bed number (if known) on the envelope. For information regarding the inmate, call 504-368-5360. Mail should be addressed to: JPCC Inmate Housing Area P.O. Box 388 Gretna, LA 70053
Please note that all mail received by the Correctional Center is opened by JPSO Correctional employees for contraband search. Any item violating the Correctional Center's rules will be seized and disposed of.
Certain items are not allowed to be sent to inmates, such as mail from other inmates, commissary items, tobacco, blank stationary, stamps, envelopes, and more. Inmates may receive pictures, but not those taken with a Polaroid Instant Camera or containing provocative or lewd images. Paperback books and approved magazines are allowed, but newspapers or newsprint media are not permitted due to fire hazards. Inmates can receive a maximum of four books.
Inmates at the JPCC can purchase personal items, snacks, and other sundries from the commissary using their own funds. Families and friends can deposit money into inmate accounts for use at the commissary. Money can be deposited through the lobby kiosk, internet, or mail. The lobby kiosk, available 24 hours a day in the Intake Booking lobby, accepts cash only.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center, call the jail’s booking line at 504-368-5360.
There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.
Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.
If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.
Jefferson Parish Correctional Center Booking Roster
After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Jefferson Parish for booking.
Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.
Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Jefferson Parish and other Louisiana and USA jurisdictions.
If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.
It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.
The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.
During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.
Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.
At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.
If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.
Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.
Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.
If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
Call 504-368-5360 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Jefferson Parish inmate locator.
Because Jefferson Parish and Louisiana can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center at 504-368-5360, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked.
Ask the staff at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center or the Jefferson Parish Court Clerk these specific questions:
If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released.
This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center?
There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Jefferson Parish Correctional Center uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
**Call 504-368-5360 first to ask Jefferson Parish Correctional Center if this option is still available.
