LaSalle Correctional Center: Harris County Inmates Held in Olla, Louisiana
Families sometimes learn that a Harris County inmate has been moved out of state to Olla, Louisiana. This contract jail follows many Harris County rules, but visits, deposits and phone accounts work differently here than in Houston. The Sheriff warns that money in the Securus system used at the Harris County jail does not transfer to the Correct Solutions Group system used at LaSalle, so check where the person is before you deposit. Visits are by appointment only, scheduled at least 24 hours ahead through LaSalle staff. Remote video visits from LaSalle’s Harris County units are free, a rare exception among jails.

LaSalle Correctional Center Inmate Search for Harris County Inmates
Harris County inmates at LaSalle are still listed in the Harris County Sheriff’s inmate search portal, linked from the Sheriff’s FAQ. Search by name; the result shows the SPN and a housing location, and LaSalle housing appears as XL55 or XL56. When the search shows nothing, or still lists a Houston building, phone Harris County’s Incarcerated Person Information number, 713-755-5300, or LaSalle itself at 318-495-6200. Keep that SPN handy, since LaSalle mail, CSG deposits and visit bookings all ask for it. Attorneys are told to verify housing and SPN on the Sheriff’s site before booking a visit.

It is not a Texas county jail: it sits in LaSalle Parish in central Louisiana, roughly a four-hour drive from Houston. Harris County renewed the contract in March 2026 through April 2027, with about 640 Harris County inmates held in Olla at the time, per Houston Public Media. Harris County inmates here are housed in units the Sheriff labels XL55 and XL56. LaSalle answers its switchboard at 318-495-6200, and families book visits through a separate line, 318-495-6209. Everyone housed in Olla under the contract is still a Harris County inmate with a Harris County SPN, which is why HCSO’s inmate-information number, 713-755-5300, also helps.

Steps involved in booking at LaSalle Correctional Center
After an arrest, the individual is brought to LaSalle Correctional Center for the booking process. This procedure involves identifying the person, determining charges, and deciding whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Remaining silent is highly recommended, as anything said can later be used in court. Wait for legal advice before responding to questions.
The booking process typically involves the following steps at LaSalle Correctional Center:
- Identification confirmation.
- Photographs (mugshots).
- Answering questions regarding health and criminal background.
- Potential DNA collection.
- Conducting a physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Providing a free phone call.
For details on an offender’s bail or bond, call LaSalle Correctional Center at 318-495-6200.
How to pay bail in Harris County for an arrestee
Once an individual is booked at LaSalle Correctional Center in Olla, options for their release include:
1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 318-495-6200 for the bail amount.
Bail can be paid through various methods.
- Bring the full cash bond to the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court and pay by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also take debit or credit cards for a fee through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor, and staff will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail: 318-495-6200).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Harris County can assist with the process.
- An owner can often pledge land or a home as bond collateral by proving clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently double the bond, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail must approve the property before release.

There are three options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Ask the LaSalle Correctional Center whether it takes deposits in person or has a Correct Solutions Group kiosk, and where it is.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
LaSalle Correctional Center uses a private company called Correct Solutions Group 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 - Make an Inmate Deposit over the Phone
Correct Solutions Group will accept deposits over the phone with a debit or credit card. Call 877-618-3516.
To do this you will need the inmate's offender # (inmate ID #) and full legal name.
