While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

The mission of the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center is to enhance public safety by securely incarcerating individuals convicted of state felonies, offering effective probation/parole supervision, and providing rehabilitative programs for successful reintegration into communities. All individuals with an inmate incarcerated in this facility are encouraged to review the LA Informational Handbook for Friends and Families, a comprehensive 48-page guide covering various aspects of inmate incarceration. This handbook provides valuable information ranging from what occurs during an individual's initial entry to contact details for communication, support, and visitation with an inmate. It serves as a vital resource to ensure individuals understand procedures and available support services during their loved one's incarceration.

Goals include maximizing public safety through custodial programs and community partnerships, ensuring the safety of staff and inmates through disciplined operations, providing basic services to victims and inmates, offering opportunities for positive behavioral change through education and rehabilitation, and facilitating restitution and community restorative initiatives to address harm caused by crime.
