St. Landry Parish Jail Roster
The official current-custody channel is the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster. The sheriff links to it from the Corrections menu under Inmates, and the roster runs through Louisiana's LAVNS and LA VINE framework. The public list is free. It opens with a disclaimer, then the user selects "I agree" before viewing the roster. LCLE describes LA VINE rosters as live jail rosters that redeploy offender data from the jail management system and update every 30 minutes. That makes the roster the first stop for St. Landry Parish inmate records, especially for people recently booked into parish jail custody.
The roster is not a full booking file. The inspected St. Landry Parish list showed a lean table with name, date of birth, race, gender, an arrest-date column, a total offender count, a last-updated timestamp, and a VINE icon for notification registration. It did not show booking photos, charges, bond, housing unit, court date, arresting agency, or a full profile link in the inspected view. A person who has been sentenced to Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections custody may leave the parish jail list and move to a state locator path. Federal defendants and immigration detainees are searched through still different systems.
The official St. Landry LAVNS roster screenshot in the image manifest shows the public roster layout, filter letters, offender count, and last-update line that drive the local inmate-records workflow.
Because the St. Landry Parish roster is a list view, the image also shows why phone confirmation or a public-information request may be needed for charges, bond, booking paperwork, or records not displayed online.
Use St. Landry Parish Inmate Roster
The St. Landry Parish inmate roster does not use the common search-box pattern. The inspected page used Show All and A-Z last-name filters, plus sortable column headers. For a common last name, the most practical method is to choose the matching letter and then use the browser's find function on the page. If the roster is down, a new booking has not refreshed yet, or the listed fields do not answer the custody question, call St. Landry Parish Jail at 337-948-5804 or use the sheriff public-information route for records documentation.
- Open the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster and read the disclaimer. Select "I agree" to reach the public list.
- Choose Show All or select the first letter of the person's last name. The roster displays names in last-name-first order.
- Check date of birth, race, gender, and any visible arrest-date entry before assuming the row is the right person.
- Select the VINE/LAVNS icon when custody-status notifications are needed. That icon routes to VINE registration for changes such as release or transfer.
- Call the jail or email pir@slpsheriff.com when charges, bond, housing, booking records, or official copies are needed.
Note: A blank arrest-date field on the list view does not prove there was no arrest date recorded elsewhere in the jail file.
St. Landry Parish Roster Fields
The roster fields matter because they show what can be verified online and what must be checked by another channel. The St. Landry Parish inmate records list is useful for current custody and identity matching, but it is not the same as a certified booking book, a court docket, or a bond record. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 228 separately addresses booking entries and booking summaries, which can include information beyond the web roster.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter | Link filter | No | Show All and A-Z links filter by last-name initial. |
| # of offenders | Display count | Not applicable | Observed count was 116 on 6/16/2026 at 11:30:57 AM Central Time. |
| Last updated | Timestamp | Not applicable | Shows when the public roster was last refreshed. |
| Name | Sortable column | No | Displayed as LAST, FIRST MIDDLE. |
| DOB | Sortable column | No | MM/DD/YYYY format helps separate similar names. |
| Race and gender | Sortable columns | No | Observed values included Black, White, Unknown, Male, and Female. |
| LAVNS icon | Linked action | No | Routes to VINE registration or subject search for custody notification. |
What St. Landry Parish Records Show
A St. Landry Parish inmate record can mean several things. The web roster is a public current-custody list. A booking entry or booking summary is a more formal jail record. A court record is kept by the St. Landry Parish Clerk of Court after charges are filed. Those records often overlap, but they are not the same document. The web roster should be treated as a starting point, not as the final record for charges, bail, court dates, or release eligibility.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| VINE/LAVNS icon | A custody-notification link tied to the listed offender row. |
| Name | The roster name in last-name-first format. |
| DOB | Date of birth for identity matching. |
| Race and gender | Demographic fields shown in the list view. |
| Arrest date | A visible column, though many inspected rows were blank. |
| Mugshot | Not shown in the inspected St. Landry Parish roster list view. |
| Charges, bond, and housing | Not shown in the inspected list view; verify through jail, court, or records channels. |
For booking photos, use the narrower process described for St. Landry Parish jail mugshots, because Louisiana booking-photo rules differ from ordinary roster fields.
St. Landry Parish Custody Channels
St. Landry Parish Jail holds local jail custody. The sheriff corrections page describes a mixed jail population that includes people awaiting trial and people convicted of crimes. That does not make the parish roster a state-prison locator. Once a person is sentenced to DPS&C custody or moved to another correctional setting, the search path may shift to Louisiana VINELink, DPS&C's locate-imprisoned-person route, or a federal locator. LA VINE also has a phone line, 866-LAVNS-4-U, for custody-status inquiry and notification registration.
| Custody Type | Best Channel | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Parish jail custody | St. Landry LAVNS roster | Current local jail rows for St. Landry Parish Jail. |
| State prison custody | Louisiana VINELink | DPS&C locate-imprisoned-person path and state/parish custody notifications. |
| Federal inmate custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present after BOP designation. |
| Federal pretrial custody | U.S. Marshals Western District of Louisiana | Federal detainee routing that may not appear on the parish roster. |
| Immigration detention | ICE detainee locator | Adult ICE detainees and CBP custody over 48 hours. |
Important: No official research source identified a state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center physically inside St. Landry Parish.
St. Landry Parish Jail Facility
The official facility map has one local detention facility: St. Landry Parish Jail, also described by the sheriff as the St. Landry Parish Correctional Center. The jail is operated by the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's corrections page names Warden Adam Ford and says the correctional function securely incarcerates people awaiting trial and people convicted of crimes. The DPS&C parish directory also lists this same local jail for St. Landry Parish.

The sheriff's contact screenshot from the official jail contact page matches the jail address and phone used for local inmate-record questions.
That contact channel is the practical backup when the St. Landry Parish inmate roster does not show charges, bond, housing, or a recent transfer.
St. Landry Parish Booking Records
A person arrested by the sheriff, Opelousas police, Eunice police, state police, or another agency may be taken to St. Landry Parish Jail for intake. Local booking details are not published as a single procedure page, but the sheriff's money and phone pages explain several pieces of the process. Money held at booking is placed into the Offender Account Fund. A person receives one call after booking about incarceration, and later phone access follows the posted housing phone schedule. Intake can include identity checks, property handling, screening, classification, and housing assignment before jail data reaches the roster.
Louisiana law supplies the early court timeline. Code of Criminal Procedure article 230.1 requires a person in custody after arrest to be brought before a judge promptly, and in any case within 72 hours from arrest, for appointment of counsel. Weekends and legal holidays are excluded from that computation. For warrantless arrests, article 230.2 addresses probable-cause review. These court steps explain why a roster row may appear before complete court records are available. For filed charges and case documents after booking, use the St. Landry Parish Clerk of Court and the court-records pathway.
St. Landry Parish Visitation Records
Visitation is tied to current custody and housing. The sheriff's visitation page states that visits are non-contact, last 20 minutes, and are limited to three visitors at one time. Visitors must have valid identification, and visitors ages 13 through 17 must be with an adult. The jail may restrict or deny visits for rule violations, emergencies, security concerns, contraband, clothing issues, intoxication, lack of ID, or false ID. The schedule is local and housing based, so a roster row alone is not enough to plan a visit.
| Population or Housing | Day | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Female population | Saturday | 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | Twice a month, every other weekend. |
| First floor offenders | Sunday | 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. | Male population schedule by housing. |
| Second floor male offenders | Sunday | 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. | Same window as first floor. |
| Protective custody male offenders | Sunday | 10:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | Shorter posted window. |
| 3A block | Sunday | 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. | Third-floor cell block. |
| 3B block | Sunday | 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. | Third-floor cell block. |
| 3C block | Sunday | 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. | Third-floor cell block. |
| 3D block | Sunday | 2:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | Third-floor cell block. |
St. Landry Parish Records Requests
When the roster does not show enough detail, use the sheriff's public-information request route. The sheriff contact research identifies pir@slpsheriff.com for legal, FOIA, PRR, or PIR requests rather than the general contact form. A request should identify the person, date of birth if known, approximate arrest or booking date, and the specific record sought. Charges, bond, booking summaries, incident reports, photos, and release data may be subject to Louisiana law, agency rules, case status, and exemptions. The jail phone remains the fastest route for current custody confirmation.

Contact St. Landry Parish Inmates
Mail, phones, tablets, and money accounts are separate from the online roster, but each depends on accurate custody information. The sheriff's mail page says incoming and outgoing mail is inspected and processed daily except weekends and holidays. Legal mail is opened in the offender's presence and checked for contraband. Public incoming mail is copied, and the original envelope and contents are not issued. Photos are limited, and paperback books must come straight from a publisher or accepted online distributor. Magazines and newspapers are not permitted.
Phone access uses American Phone Systems/NCIC. Offenders receive one call after booking about incarceration and one free 10-minute call every 30 days. Housing phones operate during posted daily windows, with longer Friday and Saturday hours. Tablets are through Brother's Commissary/JailATM and support messages, account-balance inquiries, grievances, nurse-visit requests, PREA inquiries, and general questions. The St. Landry Parish Sheriff's app also exists on Google Play and the Apple App Store, but the store descriptions did not verify an app-only inmate roster.
St. Landry Parish Commissary Funds
Commissary and deposits should be handled only after custody is confirmed. The sheriff's offender-funds page lists a jail lobby kiosk, online deposits through GTL, and USPS money orders. It also states that debt from prior incarceration affects later deposits, with half of a new deposit going to debt and half remaining available for commissary, phone time, tablet time, and related uses. Commissary orders are delivered Mondays and Thursdays, with deadlines tied to the prior Sunday and Tuesday nights. Released inmates have a limited pickup window for undelivered commissary.
| Service | Official Method | Fee or Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby cash deposit | Kiosk in jail lobby | $3.25 cash-deposit charge. |
| Lobby card deposit | Debit or credit card at kiosk | Service charge shown before finalizing. |
| Online deposit | GTL online payment portal | Service charge added. |
| Money order | USPS money order to Inmate Account Management Fund, Attn: St. Landry Parish, 108 S. Market, Opelousas, LA 70570 | No jail money-order or processing fee listed. |
| Commissary | Twice-weekly order cycle | $150 weekly food and beverage limit. |
Note: Confirm current custody with St. Landry Parish Jail before sending funds, scheduling a visit, or relying on a roster row.
