📇 What you'll need: the person's full legal name and their DOC Number — most lookups, mail, and money transfers all require this number to route correctly.
Mailing Address & Guidelines

Address mail to the person's full name and DOC number, followed by "Louisiana State Penitentiary" and the mailing address above.

Sending Money

Money orders go through JPay, mailed to JPay, PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153 — not directly to the prison. Each money order is capped at $999.99, and anything over $500 needs Louisiana DOC approval, which can delay when it posts. Once approved, JPay typically processes it within about 10 business days.

Phone calls at this facility are handled through Securus Technologies; money deposits go through JPay as noted above.

⚠️ Double-check before you send anything. Facility rules, mailing addresses, and approved vendors can change with little notice. Confirm current details directly with the facility or its official state/federal DOC page before mailing letters, packages, or money.
