Inmate 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 covers what stays confidential.

The Louisiana Public Records Act under R.S. 44:1 gives you the right to request records from any public body. The Webster Parish Sheriff's Office must respond to written requests. They can charge fees for copies but cannot block access to records that the law classifies as open. If you hit a wall, you can file a complaint or seek a court order.
