Inmate Records and Louisiana Law

Louisiana law is clear on what inmate data stays public and what stays sealed. The active roster is public. Booking photos are public. Charges and bond amounts are public. Medical records, mental health notes, and certain investigation files are not. R.S. 15:574.12 covers what stays confidential. Pre-sentence reports, parole files, and clemency records are shielded from public view.

The Louisiana Public Records Act under R.S. 44:1 gives you the right to request records from any public body, including the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office. They must respond. They can charge fees for copies but cannot block access to records that the law classifies as open. If you get turned down for something you believe is public, you can file a complaint or go to court to get it released.

Note: Juvenile inmate records are sealed under Louisiana law and will not appear on any public roster.
