Attorney Visitation at OPSO
General Rules
- Attorney/inmate consultations are allowed seven days per week ONLY during the hours listed below.
- Attorneys should notify the facility at least 1 hour in advance of arrival time, to assist the facility to provide better service.
- If an attorney does not contact the facility at least one hour prior to the scheduled consultation time, wait times may be longer.
- An attorney may request to meet with no more than 3 inmates per visit.
- Attorneys are permitted to meet with an inmate for an unlimited duration during visitation hours.
- An attorney must present his/her photo identification and a valid Louisiana Bar Association card to gain admittance for an attorney visit.
- Visitors are not allowed during attorney/inmate consultations.
- Contact consultations between attorneys and inmates will be permitted, upon the request of an attorney, at all facilities.
- Attorneys requesting contact visits with inmates housed at facilities where accommodations for contact visits do not exist must provide at least 4 hours of advance notice to the facility Watch Commander, to permit the inmate to be transported to a facility which can accommodate contact visits. A contact visit is defined as a meeting between an attorney and an inmate in the same room unobstructed by partitions, bars, or other barriers. The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office may provide non-contact visit areas to avoid undue burden on the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office or excessive wait times by other attorneys. Contact visits will be permitted if an attorney states that a contact visit is necessary. An appropriate wand search of attorneys before any contact visit may be conducted.
- No cell phones, cameras, recorders, computers or electronic devices are allowed in the jail visitation area without the express approval of the facility Warden or the Sheriff.
- All of the general rules for visitors also apply to attorney/client consultations.
- For access to individual facilities, please refer to the following:
