Evangeline Parish Detention Facilities
Evangeline Parish has more than one place where inmates are held. The main parish jail is in Ville Platte and falls under the sheriff's direct control. But the parish also has the Pine Prairie Correctional Center, which sits at 1133 Hampton Dupre Road in Pine Prairie. You can reach Pine Prairie at (337) 599-2198. This is a larger facility that houses inmates from multiple jurisdictions, including federal detainees in some cases.
On top of those, Evangeline Parish has several municipal jails run by local police departments. Basile has a small lockup reachable at (337) 432-5493. Mamou runs a jail you can call at (337) 468-5221. The Ville Platte city jail shares the main number at (337) 363-2161. Municipal jails usually hold people for a short time after arrest before they get moved to the parish facility. If you cannot find someone on the parish roster, it is worth calling the city jails to check.
Note: Inmates booked at a municipal jail may not show on the LA VINE roster until they transfer to the parish facility.
Evangeline Parish Inmate Population Data
Each booking record in the Evangeline Parish jail system includes key information about the inmate and their case. You will see the person's full name, date of birth, and a unique booking number. Charges are listed with statute references so you can tell exactly what the person is accused of. Bond amounts are shown when a judge has set bail. Some inmates are held without bond, which means they must stay until a judge says otherwise or until their case resolves.
The arresting agency is also part of the record. That could be the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office, one of the municipal police departments, or state police. Court dates, when scheduled, appear on the record as well. For more detailed information or historical inmate population data, you can file a public records request with the sheriff's office during business hours. There may be a small fee for printed copies.
Louisiana Inmate Population Resources
If an inmate has left the Evangeline Parish jail and moved to a state prison, you will not find them on the local roster anymore. The Louisiana Department of Corrections handles all state facilities. Use the DOC offender search to find inmates in state custody. That tool covers every state prison in Louisiana and shows sentence details, projected release dates, and facility assignments.
Louisiana tracks its statewide inmate population closely because the state has one of the highest incarceration rates in the country. The parole process is governed by R.S. 15:574.12, which outlines how the parole board operates and when inmates become eligible for early release. If you need to know whether someone in state custody is coming up for parole, that statute is the place to start.
