Home : Conducting Business : Commissary Procedures

Inmates are allowed to maintain a commissary account while incarcerated. This money may be used for purchasing snacks, toiletries, personal hygiene items, etc. Money for inmates may be deposited into the inmate's account Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in person within the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's office records department located at 316 West Main Street. Acceptable forms of payment are money orders or Visa and Mastercard (In accordance with LA R.S. 15:571.11, 33:1423.1 and 33.2933, a 3% local charge will be added to all credit card payments).

For after hours convenience, a drop box is located adjacent to the entrance of the collection office.  Be sure to make all money orders payable to the name of the inmate, write the arrest number on the money order and write your name and address as the sender.  If you would like to receive a receipt by mail, be sure to include a self addressed stamped envelope.  Anything dropped in the box after 3 pm will be credited on the next business day.  DO NOT PLACE CASH IN THE BOX.
