The Concordia Parish inmate population changes daily. New bookings come in as arrests happen. People bond out, get released, or transfer to state prisons. Some stay for a few hours. Others wait months for their case to work through the court system. Each facility feeds its data into the same system, so a search on LA VINE pulls results from all three locations.

Concordia Parish Booking Records

Every arrest in Concordia Parish creates a booking record at one of the three facilities. The booking process logs the person's name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, and bond amount. These records feed into the LA VINE system and the sheriff's internal database.

Concordia Parish also has a property bond process. To post a property bond, you first confirm the bond amount with the jail. Then you get a property assessment from the Assessor's Office at 4001 Carter Street, Room 3 in Vidalia. Next, pick up a mortgage certificate from the Clerk of Courts at Room 5 of the same building. Bring everything to the jail, have the form notarized at the sheriff's office in Room 7, record the bond at the Clerk's Office, and return the papers to the jail. It takes several steps but the staff can walk you through it.

For state-level records, contact the Louisiana DPS&C at (225) 383-4580. The DPS&C public information office handles requests for inmates who have been transferred to state facilities.

Inmate Records and Louisiana Law

Louisiana law sets clear rules on what inmate data is public. The current roster of people in custody is open. Charges are open. Bond amounts are open. But medical records, mental health notes, and investigation files stay private. R.S. 15:574.12 spells out what stays confidential. Pre-sentence reports, parole files, and clemency records fall under this protection.

The Louisiana Public Records Act under R.S. 44:1 gives you the right to ask for records from the Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office. They must respond to written requests. Fees may apply for copies, as allowed under R.S. 44:32, but access to open records cannot be denied.

Note: Juvenile inmate records are sealed under Louisiana law and do not appear on public rosters.
