What should you know about the booking process at St. Charles Parish Correctional Center?
Once arrested, the person is taken to St. Charles Parish Correctional Center for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at St. Charles Parish Correctional Center include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Access to a free phone call.
To check on an offender’s bond amount, contact St. Charles Parish Correctional Center at 985-783-1164.
Steps to pay bail in St. Charles Parish
After an arrest, individuals are brought to St. Charles Parish Correctional Center in Killona for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:
1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 985-783-1164.
Bail payment can be handled through various means.
- Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 985-783-1164).
- Licensed bail bond agents in St. Charles Parish are available for assistance.
- Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.

⇓ Learn more ⇓ Show lessCan I Use My Computer or Phone to Have a Remote Video Visit with an Inmate in the St. Charles Parish Correctional Center?
CorrectPay Video Visitation provides a secure online platform that enables families and children to conduct face-to-face video visits with incarcerated loved ones from home using an internet-connected smartphone, tablet, or personal computer equipped with a webcam.
Important: Advance Visitor Approval Is Mandatory
Correctional facilities do not allow drop-in or unverified video sessions. Jails require prospective visitors to submit government-issued photo identification and receive administrative clearance before booking a visit, a process that can take 24 to 72 hours depending on facility staffing. You should verify your visitor approval status with the facility prior to scheduling. If you do not register well in advance, you will miss your loved one's scheduled visiting window for the week.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Schedule a Video Visit
- Visit www.correctpay.com or launch the CorrectPay mobile app.
- Register your visitor profile and upload a clear photo of your government-issued ID (driver's license or passport) for facility background review.
- Wait for email notification confirming facility visitor approval.
- Once approved, choose Schedule Visit, pick your detention facility, and select the inmate.
- Browse the available schedule calendar, choose a 20- or 30-minute time slot, and pay the visitation fee using a credit or debit card.
- Log into the app or website 10 minutes prior to the start time on a device with a working camera, microphone, and stable high-speed internet connection.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate receives a visitation notification on their housing unit video kiosk or assigned tablet. At the appointed time, they log in with their PIN and sit before the terminal. Inmates and visitors must strictly observe jail dress and conduct rules, as sessions are actively monitored and will terminate immediately upon any violation.

There are three choices for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Ask the jail whether it takes deposits in person before you go.
Call St. Charles Parish Correctional Center to ask whether it has a Tiger kiosk for cash or card deposits, and where it is.
If you can't get your questions answered online call the St. Charles Parish Correctional Center at 985-783-1164.
Choice 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Tiger Commissary's online site lists the services set up for each jail, such as commissary orders or deposits.
Go to Tiger's online site, pick the state and the jail, and see which services it offers there.
Choice 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.
Call St. Charles Parish Correctional Center at 985-783-1164 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
Call 985-783-1164 to ask facility personnel who to make the money order out to, and where to send it.
