Jackson Parish Booking Records

If a person has been transferred to a state facility, the Louisiana DPS&C will have the most current data. Call (225) 383-4580 for state-level inquiries.

Inmate Records and Louisiana Law

Louisiana law sets clear rules on what inmate data the public can see. The current roster is public. Charges are public. Bond amounts are public. Medical records, mental health notes, and investigation files stay private. R.S. 15:574.12 covers what stays confidential, including pre-sentence reports and parole files.

The Jackson Parish Sheriff's Office must respond to written public records requests. They can charge for copies but cannot deny access to records the law says are open. If you face pushback, you can seek a court order. The victim services division at DPS&C can also help if you are a registered victim in the system.

Note: Juvenile inmate records are sealed under Louisiana law and are not part of the public roster.
