Search Livingston Parish Detention Center Inmates

Livingston Parish Detention Center Overview

Livingston Parish Detention Center is also listed by Louisiana DPS&C as Livingston Parish Prison. It is operated by the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office and serves as the main local custody facility for Livingston Parish. The official LPSO detention page gives the facility address, detention leadership, inmate mail rules, tablet and commissary links, and phone vendor links. The sheriff contact page also lists the detention center under the Charlie Watts Road address.

The facility holds adult local jail detainees, new bookings, court holds, warrant holds, parish-sentenced people, and some state or DOC custody as locally assigned. It is not a state prison, BOP institution, or ICE detention facility. The public roster is the right first search for current local jail custody, while DPS&C, BOP, ICE, and VINE cover other custody systems.

Livingston Parish Detention Center Capacity

Current official rated capacity was not posted on the LPSO detention page reviewed. A historical FY2020-linked source cited by Loyola/Incarceration Transparency reported a 647-bed jail and 88 staff. The public roster displayed 804 results on June 16, 2026, but that roster count should not be treated as a formal overcrowding finding because capacity may have changed and roster categories need careful interpretation.

Look Up Livingston Parish Detention Center Inmates

Use the LPSO-linked jail roster for a Livingston Parish Detention Center inmate lookup. The roster result list shows name, DOB, race/gender, booking date, and View links. A full profile can show inmate ID, court date field, arresting agency, fugitive hold, charges, counts, and bond. The text profile reviewed did not show housing unit or a visible mugshot.

For a very recent arrest, sort by booking date before assuming the person is missing. For a common name, compare DOB and the arresting agency. If the person was sentenced or transferred, the parish roster may stop being the best source. DPS&C, VINE, BOP, and ICE each answer a different custody question, so the search should follow the custody type rather than the arrest location alone.

1. Open the LPSO inmate list or the direct TBS roster.
2. Search by last name or sort by booking date for recent arrests.
3. Compare DOB, race/gender, booking date, and inmate ID.
4. Open the profile before calling about bond, mail, or deposits.
5. Check DPS&C, VINE, BOP, or ICE if the person is not listed.

Livingston Parish Detention Center Contact

The detention-center address is separate from the sheriff administration, clerk, DA, and courthouse offices on Government Boulevard. Use the jail address for custody, mail, bond, and detention questions. Use the courthouse or clerk channels for court records after arrest.

The source confirms the distinction between detention-center contact information and other sheriff or parish offices.

Visit Livingston Parish Detention Center

LPSO's detention page reviewed did not publish a visitation schedule, video-visit schedule, approval process, ID list, dress code, or visit length. Do not rely on generic parish-jail visiting hours. Call the detention center before travel and use the inmate ID from the roster. Parking, accessibility entry, and lobby-entry rules were also not published in the reviewed detention-page text.

Mail Phone and Money at Livingston Parish Detention Center

Mail rules are one of the most specific Livingston Parish Detention Center details. Regular inmate mail does not go to Charlie Watts Road or P.O. Box 1000. LPSO says regular mail goes to JailATM.com in Monroe, is opened, scanned, emailed to the inmate at the facility, and accessed by tablet. Legal mail and transactional originals use the Livingston P.O. Box route.

Livingston Parish Detention Center Booking

A typical local intake path begins with an arrest by LPSO, Denham Springs Police, Walker Police, Louisiana State Police, or another agency. The person is brought to the detention center for identification, local inmate ID assignment, booking time entry, charge entry, bond or hold entry, and later court linkage through the clerk and district attorney. The roster confirms those public outputs rather than a detailed internal intake manual.

Bond records appear per charge on the profile. Labels observed in the research included CASH and combined shorthand such as CASH/SEC/PROP/COMM. Call before travel because LPSO did not publish accepted bond payment methods, posting hours, cashier location, or online bond-payment instructions in the reviewed pages.

Some release questions are not answered by a bond amount alone. A fugitive hold, bench warrant, DOC hold, ICE detainer, or other agency hold can keep a person in custody after one bond is paid. The roster's fugitive-hold field is useful, but it should be confirmed by phone when release timing matters.

About Livingston Parish Detention Center

The detention center sits in the Livingston area on Charlie Watts Road. The courthouse, clerk, district attorney's Livingston office, parish government, and sheriff administration are clustered on Government Boulevard. That local geography matters. Custody, inmate ID, mail, deposits, bond questions, and jail records begin with the detention center. Court filings, docket numbers, offenses, and dispositions begin with the clerk and court system.

Recent public notices included a 2024 detention-center food bid notice on the LPSO media page. A 2024 WAFB report also covered an in-custody death at the detention center. Those items are useful public context, but they do not replace current facility instructions. For current custody, visitation, or mail rules, use LPSO's published detention information and the detention phone.
