Commissary Deposits using Touch Pay
Options for putting money on an inmate's books in Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center:
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
You will use a Touchpay self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center uses Touchpay 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.
Option 3 - 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.
NOTE: Call the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center at 337-491-3800 to see if they are still allowing money orders to be mailed.
Option 4 - Make an Inmate Deposit over the Phone by calling Touchpay at 866-232-1899.
To do this you will need the inmate's offender # (inmate ID #), full legal name, and Facility Locator Number. Call 337-491-3800 to get the Facility Locator Number.

Untitled
Access Securepak is an authorized correctional commissary care-package program that allows families to purchase customized food, snack, hygiene, apparel, and electronics packages sent directly to an incarcerated loved one. Every package is custom-packed to meet the strict security regulations of the specific jail or state prison.
Important: Delivery Schedules and Package Quotas
Jail package guidelines are not uniform across detention centers. Some facilities permit orders year-round, while others restrict deliveries to quarterly cycles or strict weekly deadlines that you should confirm with the facility directly. If you delay setting up your account, you risk missing the upcoming delivery cutoff, leaving your loved one waiting an extra cycle for fresh food, warm thermals, or personal toiletries.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Access Service
- Visit the official Access Securepak online store at www.accesscatalog.com.
- Select the state and the specific jail or correctional institution from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the inmate's legal last name and inmate ID to verify their active housing and package eligibility.
- Browse the catalog of approved meats, cheeses, ramen soups, cookies, toiletries, and clothing.
- Add items to your cart up to the facility's maximum weight or dollar limit (usually $50 to $125 per order).
- Check out using your debit or credit card and save the order confirmation tracking number.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate does not need to order anything themselves. Securepak ships the sealed package directly to the correctional facility's commissary warehouse. Jail staff inspect the box and deliver it to the inmate during regular pod commissary distribution, where the inmate signs for the package.
