The following information is from the department of public safety and corrections:
This week, the Louisiana Department of Corrections (DOC) will phase in visitation at Louisianaâs state-run prisons, beginning Saturday, March 13, 2021, at some facilities and Monday, March 15, 2021, for others. As Louisiana moves into Phase 3 and the COVID-19 vaccine availability increases, the DOC continues its work with the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) to maintain safe operations during the pandemic. This includes the development and implementation of reopening plans following LDHâs COVID-19 guidance. Visitation schedules and procedures will vary by prison depending on the space available to offer safe visitation.
