West Feliciana Parish Detention Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the West Feliciana Parish Detention includes each of the following steps:

They’ll put you in a holding cell. When the jail is busy, it will take a while to get processed.

First you will answer some basic questions, like your full name, street address, birth date and an emergency contact, and you will also be asked about your psychological and medical history. Next, you will be issued an inmate ID and your fingerprints will be taken. Then, all of your personal property will get taken away from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.

You will then be allowed to use the phone to get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or somebody else who can help you get out.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be allowed to keep wearing your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

When you pay your bail, you will get discharged from jail. The discharge process takes from 15 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the faster you post bail, the faster you will get discharged. How quickly you get discharged depends on whether you have a cash bond or if a magistrate still needs to figure out the bail amount. For minor offenses, you will be booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served out your jail sentence and are given a date of your release, you should expect to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

How To Send Money to an Inmate at West Feliciana Parish Detention

You will have your own ‘bank account’ while in jail. This money is used to purchase items from the Commissary.

Outside money can be paid in to your account via a money order, cash or check. If someone sends a check or money order, make sure that they write your inmate ID on it. The maximum amount you are allowed in your account is $290 per month.

Guidelines For Sending Money To An Inmate

Before you send any money you should find out what online money transfer companies the jail your inmate is incarcerated in uses. The exact method that the West Feliciana Parish Detention uses changes frequently, so it is best to call them at (225) 635-6513 to get the current payment method.

You may be required to be on the inmate’s visitation list in order to send them money, and be aware that they may have a limit on how much you deposit at one time, like $200-300 at a time, or a limit on how much money may be in the inmate’s account at one time.

Some of the money transfer firms being used by various facilities include JPay, MoneyGram, AccessCorrections, OffenderConnect, Touchpayonline, JailATM, WU, smartdeposit, and tigercommissary.

If an inmate has fines or are required to pay restitution then they will be subject to garnishment of their commissary/trust account. If the inmate has a garnishment, then money to pay them will be taken from the inmateâ€™s bank account. In some cases it may be a percentage or the entire amount of the obligation, but the actual percentage depends on the circumstances. We recommend that inmates talk to the counselor at their facility and try to find out. You can also try to make an arrangement so that only a percentage of your commissary funds are taken, instead of all your funds take at one time.

Commissary

The commissary is the West Feliciana Parish Detention store. An inmate can purchase several different things here, such as personal items, food, and things for writing. Bear in mind that you will most likely want to buy things from the commissary on a daily basis, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

The Commissary will sell a selection of different products that the inmate can purchase if they have enough money in their commissary account. These products include clothes, shoes, small snacks and other food items, in addition to hygiene products including soap, shampoo, and disposable razors for shaving. The commissary also sells other things like books and magazines, televisions and radios, playing cards, headphones, MP3 players, and electronic tablets. They also sell everything need to write home to family, friends, and loved ones: paper, envelopes, and stamps. If an inmate is indigent and cannot afford paper and stamps, the jail will provide these things to an inmate who has not had any money in their commissary account for at least 30 days.

How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service providers have exclusive contracts at every facility that they operate the phone services for, which means that they they control the prices.

The prices are posted and there are at least two types of prices based on where the inmate is calling. These three factors will determine how much an inmate phone call will cost: Where you are located; Where your inmate is located, What type of phone number you have.

For example, if your inmate is in federal prison, if you get a new local number then this will decrease your inmate’s phone call rate from $.21 per minute to only $.06 per minute.
