Inmate Population Records and Louisiana Law

Louisiana law sets clear rules on what inmate data the public can see. The current roster of people in custody is public. Booking photos are public. Charges and bond amounts are public. But medical records, mental health notes, and certain investigation files are off limits. 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 gives you the right to ask for records from any public body. The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office must respond to written requests. They can charge fees for copies but cannot deny access to records that the law says are open. If you hit a wall, you can file a complaint or seek a court order to force the release of public records.

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