Jackson, LA Dixon Correctional Institute View
Dixon Correctional Institute is a state correctional facility in Jackson, East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. It is operated by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections and primarily houses adult male offenders who have been sentenced to state custody. It is not the main parish jail for newly arrested pretrial detainees; those individuals are usually processed through the local sheriff’s jail unless they are later transferred. The facility’s role is to provide secure custody, supervision, and correctional programming for people committed to the state prison system, while supporting the broader Louisiana justice system after sentencing and transfer from local courts.

How to Find an Inmate at Dixon Correctional Institute
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for someone held here. Inmate rosters and prison search records typically list the person’s name, identification number, facility location, booking or admission date when available, charges or conviction information, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is booked or transferred; processing, classification, and data entry can take several hours, and in some cases longer. If the person was just arrested in East Feliciana Parish, check the local sheriff’s jail first, because pretrial detainees are usually held locally before any state transfer.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Dixon Correctional Institute?
Visitation usually requires the inmate to place you on an approved visitor list before you can visit. Contact the facility or check its official visitation information for current days, hours, scheduling rules, and any limits on the number of visitors.
What do I need to bring when visiting Dixon Correctional Institute?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Follow the facility dress code and leave prohibited items, including weapons, drugs, and most personal property, outside the secure area.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates usually cannot receive incoming calls, but they may be able to place outgoing calls through the approved phone provider. If video visits are offered, you must create an account with the approved service and follow the facility’s scheduling and conduct rules.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name, DOC number if known, and the facility mailing address. Mail is inspected for safety, and items such as cash, contraband, or unauthorized photos may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary lets inmates buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family and friends may be able to deposit funds through the approved payment system, but fees, limits, and posting times can vary.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Dixon Correctional Institute?
Because this is a state correctional facility, most people held here are sentenced inmates and do not have bail. If a person is still in pretrial status, bail is set by the court and bond is usually handled through the parish sheriff or the court with jurisdiction over the case.
What happens during the intake process at Dixon Correctional Institute and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review paperwork, complete screening, assign housing, and enter information into the custody system. Search records may take several hours or longer to update after booking, transfer, or admission, so the person may not appear immediately.
