Find Dixon Correctional Institute Inmates

Dixon Correctional Institute Overview

Dixon Correctional Institute is operated by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. It is located in Jackson, within East Feliciana Parish, and holds sentenced or adjudicated people in state prison custody. That means Dixon is not the booking site for most fresh parish arrests and should not be described as the East Feliciana Parish jail. A person at Dixon has moved into the state prison system or is otherwise in DPS&C custody.

The DPS&C Dixon Correctional Institute profile names Warden E. Dustin Bickham and gives the public phone, mailing address, directions, visitation rules, demographics, programs, medical services, mental-health services, agriculture, and Prison Enterprises operations. The page also reports key population characteristics: 52% of Dixon's population is made up of people convicted of violent offenses, the average sentence length is 21 years, and 42% of people imprisoned at Dixon are ages 30 to 44.

The DPS&C facility profile is the best visual source for Dixon because it is the official state corrections page for the prison.

The profile confirms that Dixon is a state prison facility with state visitation, program, and custody rules rather than a local roster-only jail.

Dixon Correctional Institute Population

The public Dixon profile does not publish a current bed capacity in the research materials, but it does publish useful demographic and sentence indicators. Those numbers are better for understanding facility type than for estimating today's count. Dixon houses a sentenced state-prison population, including many people with long terms and violent-offense convictions. The parish LAVNS jail roster should not be used as the main Dixon population list.

Dixon Correctional Institute Inmate Search

A Dixon inmate search should start with Louisiana VINE or the DPS&C imprisoned-person locator phone line, not the East Feliciana Parish Prison roster. Louisiana's VINE/LAVINE system monitors adult parish jail and state prison custody status and supports custody-status notification. DPS&C search results identify (225) 383-4580 as the locator phone number for imprisoned-person information. A caller should have the DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth.

1. Search Louisiana VINE by name for state custody status and notification options.
2. Call the DPS&C locator line at (225) 383-4580 if the web search is unclear or if housing and projected release details are needed.
3. Confirm that the facility is Dixon Correctional Institute, not another DPS&C prison or a parish jail.
4. Use Dixon's facility phone for visit, mail, and institutional questions after custody is confirmed.

Dixon Correctional Institute Contact

Use the Dixon facility contact information for state-prison visit processing, institutional mail, and location questions. Use court or parish records only for the court case that led to a sentence. The physical address and mailing address are different, so use the correct one for travel or correspondence. DPS&C directions from downtown Baton Rouge route north toward U.S. 61, then onto LA-68 before turning at the main entrance with the white picket fence.

Dixon Correctional Institute Visits

Dixon visitation is a state prison process with fixed windows and approval limits. The DPS&C page lists visits on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with no admission after 3:00 p.m. Visiting is limited to the first four weekends of each month, with no fifth-weekend visits except special PRIDE privilege. Non-contact visits are Fridays only. Standard visits last two hours.

Visitors park in the front lot by the Visiting Processing Center. People who are not visiting must leave the grounds. Approved visitors age 15 or older need positive picture ID. The facility provides accommodations for people with disabilities, including transportation from the processing center to sallyports when needed.

Dixon Visitor Screening

Dixon's visitor rules are more detailed than local parish jail rules. The allowed visiting-room items are vehicle keys, picture ID, cash for vending or ticket machines, and one credit or debit card for the JPay kiosk. Visitors are subject to searches of property, vehicles, person, electronic devices, dog screening, pat-down searches, strip searches, and body-cavity searches as policy allows. The dress code is strict, so clothing should be chosen conservatively before travel.

Dixon Mail and Money

Dixon's research materials confirm the facility mailing address and a JPay kiosk in the Visitor Processing Office for deposits during visits. The materials do not provide a full public fee schedule in the research excerpt, so fees and online account rules should be checked with DPS&C or JPay before money is sent. Mail should be routed to the P.O. Box unless Dixon staff or DPS&C mail rules provide a more specific format for the person's name and DOC number.

Dixon Correctional Institute Programs

Dixon has a broad state-prison program profile. Education includes Adult Basic Education and HSE, literacy, collision repair, carpentry, automotive technology, welding, Special School District #1, and correspondence college courses. Reentry and treatment services include substance-abuse education, pre-release programming required by state law, reentry programming, the Youthful Offender Program, and faith or character-based programs. Volunteer and civic programs include religious programming, incarcerated veterans, Jaycees, Toastmasters, recreation, and community involvement.

Medical and mental-health services are also part of the prison profile. The Medical Department provides inpatient, outpatient, and emergency health care 24 hours a day, and the research notes that Dixon is unique in caring for all dialysis patients in the department. Mental-health services include crisis intervention, individual counseling, sex-offense therapy, anger management, special-topic groups, youth case management, aftercare referrals, and housing assistance after release.

DPS&C custody

State prison custody under Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections, separate from local parish jail custody.

Non-contact visit

A visit without physical contact, listed at Dixon for Fridays only.

PRIDE privilege

A special visitation privilege noted by DPS&C for fifth-weekend exceptions.

Reentry programming

Training and services meant to prepare a person for release and community return.

Dixon Prison Operations

Dixon's profile includes agriculture, employee training, Prison Enterprises work, and community-service crews. The research notes that Dixon is the center for replacement heifers and new breeding bulls for DPS&C facilities. It also lists Prison Enterprises operations such as the Wakefield Meat Processing Distribution Plant and Warehouse, janitorial services for state buildings in Baton Rouge, embroidery, and office seating assembly. These programs are state prison operations, not parish jail work assignments.

That distinction is useful for families and records users. A person who moved from East Feliciana Parish Prison to Dixon is no longer looked up primarily through the parish roster. A person at the East Feliciana Parish Prison may still be waiting on court, bond, or transfer, while a Dixon record reflects sentenced state custody and the institutional rules of DPS&C.

Dixon and Parish Jail Differences

Dixon is one of three detention-related East Feliciana Parish facilities that often get confused. The parish prison handles local custody and some DOC offenders. The East Feliciana Parish Transitional Work Program is a DOC-approved work release program with a separate phone and DPS&C listing. Dixon Correctional Institute is a state prison for sentenced custody. The correct search path depends on the person's legal status, not just where the case began.
