Commissary Account:
Every inmate that is booked into the St Landry Parish Sheriff Department will have a commissary account opened. If the inmate comes to jail with cash or money orders the money will automatically be placed into his/her commissary account. If they come here with a check there is a 15 day hold in order to clear the bank and guarantee funds. You can add money to an inmates account by contacting Infinity Networks. Infinity Networks office hours are Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm central time and their Contact number is 1-866-681-2948. Once the money is placed into the inmates accounts it will remain in their account, it will not be returned to you. Upon released or transferred to another facility the remaining money in his/her account will be given to the Inmate.
Money that is placed in the inmates account will and can be used to purchase store orders, calling cards and charges that occur for Parish Government Ordinance 2005-0008.
Calling Cards: Inmates can purchase calling cards from the commissary accounts or the family can set one up for them by calling Infinity Networks at 1-866-681-2948. If the family sets up the calling card they need to call the day of the initial set up and give the jailer the
calling card number and the inmates name. The jailor, in return, will give the inmate the calling card number to begin using as he or she wishes.

Bookings, Bonds and Warrants
The Bookings, Bonds and Warrants Division is headed by Jennifer Bridges and is staffed 24/7 in order to provide uninterrupted service to the citizens of St. Landry Parish.
The Bookings, Bonds and Warrants Division processes all bonds which are posted in the parish. This includes Commercial Bonds, Property Bonds, and Cash Bonds. Commercial Bonds are posted for those individuals wishing to bond out of jail by using the services of commercial bonding companies. Property Bonds, which may be posted by family members or friends of an individual who is incarcerated, require that the owner of the property obtain an updated tax assessment of the property being used as collateral for the bond.
For Property Bonds in excess of $10,000, a Mortgage Certificate and a up to date Tax Assesment. The Tax Assement can be obtained from our Civil Department which is located at the St. Landry Parish Courthouse.
There is a $15.00 processing fee associated with the Property Bonds which must be paid by Money Order.
Cash Bonds are a third option and must be paid in full before someone can be released from jail.
Commercial and Cash Bonds are processed on a 24/7 basis while Property Bonds can only be processed Monday through Friday from 8:30AM-4:30PM, excluding holidays. The department typically processes from 300-500 bonds per month.
All Bench Warrants issued by the judicial system are processed by the Warrants Division. We also verify all Bench Warrants using court minutes from the Clerk of Court's computerized database before any arrest is made on a Bench Warrant. No one can be arrested on a Bench Warrant without verifying the validity of the warrant first. The department processes from 10-100 Bench Warrants per day. The Bookings, Bonds & Warrants comprised of two booking deputies and one warrant deputy.
