Louisiana's Public Records Act under R.S. 44:1 makes most booking data open to the public. The current inmate roster, charges, booking photos, and bond amounts are all public records. R.S. 15:574.12 limits access to certain files like medical records, mental health assessments, and pre-sentence investigation reports. Those stay confidential regardless of whether you are a family member or a member of the public.

You can submit a written records request to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office for inmate data. The office must respond in a reasonable time frame. They can charge copy fees as allowed under R.S. 44:32, but they cannot deny access to records that the law makes public.
