How to Send Money to Rapides Parish Detention Center

How to Send Money Through Correct Commissary

Correct Commissary is the platform used by Rapides Parish Detention Center for inmate trust fund deposits and commissary orders. Here is how to send funds.

Step 1: Get the inmate’s booking number. You need this to complete the transaction. Find it using the LAVNS roster at rapides.lavns.org by searching the inmate’s name.

Step 2: Go to correctcommissary.com. Create an account if this is your first time, or log in.

Step 3: Find Rapides Parish Detention Center. Search by facility name or browse Louisiana facilities.

Step 4: Enter the inmate’s full legal name and booking number. Confirm both before entering payment information. A wrong booking number routes funds to the wrong account.

Step 5: Enter the deposit amount and pay. A service fee applies and will be shown before you confirm. Correct Commissary accepts debit cards and credit cards.

Call (318) 449-4360 if you have questions about deposit options, fees, or whether a lobby kiosk is available at this facility.

What the Inmate Can Do with the Funds

Deposits go to the inmate’s trust account for commissary purchases, phone call credits through City Tele Coin, and other approved spending inside the facility.

What Happens If You Use the Wrong Booking Number

A deposit with the wrong booking number routes to a different person’s account. Contact Correct Commissary customer support right away if you notice an error. Always confirm the booking number from the LAVNS roster before completing any transaction.
