Jefferson Davis Parish Jail Roster
The Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office publishes the official local roster through its inmate roster disclaimer page. The page sends users to Current Inmates or 48 Hour Release. The disclaimer is part of the record context because it says the detention center cannot certify accuracy or authenticity, and roster inclusion does not prove guilt, conviction, or legal status. It also warns against harassment, discrimination, or other unlawful use of the information.
The current roster covers people in the sheriff detention center. It does not cover every person with a Jefferson Davis Parish case. Sentenced state prisoners may appear through Louisiana VINE or other DPS&C channels after transfer. Federal prisoners are searched through the BOP Inmate Locator, and immigration detainees through ICE ODLS. If the local roster does not show a person who was recently arrested, the practical fallback is the jail/prison phone at 337-821-2104 or the sheriff's 24-hour non-emergency number at 337-821-2100.
Use Jefferson Davis Parish Roster
The roster can be searched by name or browsed by booking time. Newer bookings are often easiest to find with the newest-to-oldest sort, while name search is better when the arrest date is not known. A person released from the detention center may drop from the current list and appear only on the 48-hour release route. After that, a record request may be needed for a historical booking sheet or booking photo.
- Open the JDPSO inmate roster gateway and choose Current Inmates or 48 Hour Release.
- Enter a first or last name in Search By Name, or use Show All to browse the full list.
- Sort by date when checking recent bookings or by name when the spelling is known.
- Read the booking number, age, booking date, charge list, bond amount, photo, and profile button.
- Call the jail before posting bond, sending money, or traveling for a visit because holds and updates may not show in list view.
The current roster page shows the list controls and the public fields used for Jefferson Davis Parish inmate records.
That view is the local custody source, but it should be checked with the jail when release, bond, or court timing matters.
Jefferson Davis Parish Search Fields
The sheriff roster does not require a login. It provides a name search, current and released filters, sort controls, and pagination. Exact wildcard rules were not posted, so short searches can miss spelling variants. If a last name search fails, try a first name, browse recent bookings, check the release tab, and call the jail if the arrest was very recent.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search By Name | Text | Unspecified | Accepts first or last name; exact matching rules were not posted. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs the name search. |
| Show All | Button | n/a | Clears the search and returns all entries. |
| Name | Sort/filter | No | Routes results by name. |
| Date | Sort/filter | No | Routes results by booking date. |
| Current / Released | Filter | No | Switches between current custody and 48-hour release records. |
| Pagination | Links | No | Moves through result pages. |
Jefferson Davis Parish Record Fields
The public inmate record is a list-entry inventory. It is enough to confirm that a person appears in the Jefferson Davis Parish jail roster, but it is not a full criminal case file or complete jail file. The inspected profile click loaded a title but did not expose more plain-HTML fields, so the reliable public inventory is the roster list itself.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot / image | Booking-photo thumbnail or image slot on each visible entry. |
| Name | Uppercase name format, usually last name first. |
| Booking # | Numeric booking identifier such as the examples captured in research. |
| Age | Age in years; date of birth was not visible in list view. |
| Booking Date | Month-day-year and time format for intake. |
| Release Date | Shown on the 48-hour release list, not the current list. |
| Charges | Plain text booking charge names; formal filed charges may later differ. |
| Bond | Dollar amount displayed by the roster, including zero values that may still involve holds. |
| View Profile | Button or link to a profile page, with limited plain-HTML detail during inspection. |
Find County, State, Federal Inmates
Custody level controls where Jefferson Davis Parish inmate records appear. Local arrest and booking records start with the sheriff. Once a person is sentenced or transferred to state custody, the state locator route becomes more important. Federal defendants and immigration detainees may be held outside Jefferson Davis Parish and will not necessarily appear on the parish roster after transfer.
| Custody | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local sentence | JDPSO jail roster | People currently held at the parish detention center. |
| Recent release | 48-hour release roster | People released from the detention center in the posted release window. |
| State sentence | Louisiana VINE / VINELink | State custody status and victim notification route. |
| Federal sentence | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Immigration detainee locator. |
Note: A parish roster entry can disappear after release or transfer, while the court case may still be active through the clerk and 31st Judicial District Court.
Older Jefferson Davis Parish Records
The online roster is strongest for current custody and recent release checks. It is not a full booking archive. When a person has been released for more than the 48-hour window, transferred to state custody, or moved to another agency, the public list may no longer answer the question. The sheriff's site did not expose a dedicated public-records request form in the inspected pages, so older Jefferson Davis Parish inmate records should be requested from the sheriff's custodian through phone, mail, or in person. Cite Louisiana Public Records Law and keep the request narrow.
A good request includes the person's full name, booking number if known, approximate booking date, and the exact record sought. Ask for the booking sheet, booking photo, release record, or jail custody record rather than asking for every record about a person. If the request involves a court filing after arrest, the Jefferson Davis Parish Clerk of Court is the better records custodian. If it involves prosecutor-filed charges, the District Attorney may provide routing or victim/witness context, but the clerk remains the custodian for filed case documents.
| Need | Likely Route | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Current custody | JDPSO current roster or jail phone | The roster is built for current detention-center entries. |
| Recent release | JDPSO 48-hour release list | The sheriff publishes a short recent-release route. |
| Older booking record | Sheriff public-records request | The public roster is not a full archive. |
| Filed criminal charge | Clerk of Court | The court file is separate from jail booking. |
| State transfer | Louisiana VINE / DPS&C | Sentenced custody can leave the parish roster. |
Jefferson Davis Parish Jail Facility
The parish has one official local detention facility for this build. The sheriff corrections page places the consolidated jail at 1704 Hwy. 90 West in Jennings. The Louisiana DPS&C directory lists Jefferson Davis Correctional Center at 321 East Plaquemine in Jennings, using the same jail/prison phone. The build treats these as official address presentations for the same sheriff-operated local jail unless a public source later separates them.
Jefferson Davis Parish Consolidated Jail / Jefferson Davis Correctional Center
1704 Hwy. 90 West
Jennings, LA 70546
337-821-2104
No official visitation schedule found; call before travel.
Jefferson Davis Parish Booking Process
The sheriff's corrections page describes the local intake workflow. Jailers book inmates in and out after arrest and transport to the jail. Booking includes fingerprints, a booking photo, paperwork, and placement into population. Jailers make rounds, serve meals, and dispense prescribed medication to inmates who have prescriptions. These operational facts are important because they explain why a roster entry may appear before the court case is fully filed.
The early court timeline is also local. The sheriff page says jailers ensure inmates can see a judge within 72 hours of arrest, and Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 230.1 sets a prompt judge appearance rule for appointment of counsel, excluding weekends and legal holidays in computing the time. If a judge gives bond, jailers update the inmate file and help the inmate contact a bondsman.
Jefferson Davis Parish Visit Status
No official in-person or video visitation schedule was located in the inspected sheriff pages. That is a real access limit, not a blank to fill. Visitors should call the jail/prison phone before travel, confirm whether visits are allowed that day, ask about identification, dress rules, minor-child rules, and whether a visit must be scheduled. Jail operations can change during court movement, staffing limits, lockdowns, medical events, or holidays.
| Visit Topic | Published Status | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not located in official sheriff pages | Call 337-821-2104 before travel. |
| Video visit schedule | Not located in official sheriff pages | Ask the jail whether video visits are available. |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not published in inspected materials | Bring government ID and ask for current rules. |
| Mail delivery | Personal mail is scanned by City Tele Coin | Use the Bossier City mail-processing address and correct inmate identifiers. |

Jefferson Davis Parish Commissary Funds
The sheriff corrections page still links to Tiger Commissary, but a newer December 6, 2024 sheriff press release says JDPSO is no longer contracted with Tiger and has contracted with Correct Commissary. Use the newer Correct Commissary / CSGPay notice for current deposit details. Friends and family can deposit at the JDPSO Dispatch Lobby kiosk at 1604 Hwy. 90 West, through CSGPAY.COM, or through the Correct Solutions Deposit app as described by the sheriff notice.
| Deposit Item | Official Detail |
|---|---|
| Facility ID | Jefferson Davis Parish Detention Center ID# 10011. |

| Attendant assist | $9.95 through call center attendant assistance. |
| Deposit limits | $60 cash limit; $50 card transaction limit, two per day; $700 per week by card. |
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before sending money because releases and transfers can change faster than family support plans.
The sheriff's mobile app is another official access route. The Google Play listing for the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff app says it includes inmates, press releases, most wanted, special alerts, FAQs, crime tips, and contact messages. The research did not prove that the app has an app-only roster, so it should be treated as a mobile route to sheriff information rather than a separate records system.
