Livingston Parish Jail Roster
The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office is the local sheriff and jail source. The Louisiana DPS&C parish page identifies Jason G. Ard as sheriff and lists the sheriff's main phone as (225) 686-2241. The official LPSO site links an "Inmate List" that opens the public Livingston Parish Jail Roster. The roster is free to view and did not require a login during research. It is built for current jail custody, so it is the best first stop when the person was recently booked or is still held locally.
The Livingston Parish inmate roster is not the final criminal court record. A booking profile can list charges, bond, and an arresting agency, but the District Attorney decides what formal charges are filed through the Clerk's Criminal Department. A booking charge can later be refused, amended, dismissed, reduced, or replaced. For the full court case after filing, use the Clerk and 21st Judicial District Court channels described on the Livingston Parish criminal court records page.
The roster discussion is text-only because the available inmate-page images document federal and statewide custody routes rather than the local roster screen. The practical rule remains the same: use the LPSO-linked roster first for current parish custody, then move to state, federal, or court channels if the person is not shown or the record need is broader than custody status.
Search Livingston Parish Inmates
The roster has simple controls rather than a complex case search. It supports sorting, searching, clearing a search, paging through results, and opening a detail view. A person can start with a last name, scan by booking date, or use the view link for an inmate profile. If the name does not appear, try alternate spellings and then use LAVINE, DPS&C, or a direct jail phone call.
- Open the Livingston Parish Jail Roster from the LPSO Inmate List link.
- Use Search for a name, or use Sort by Booking Date when the booking is recent.
- Review the name, inmate ID, date of birth, race and gender, and booking date in the result row.
- Select View to open the public inmate profile for charge and bond details.
- If the person is missing, call Livingston Parish Prison or check Louisiana VINE for custody status.
Note: A missing roster result does not prove there is no case, warrant, release, transfer, or state custody record.
Livingston Parish Roster Fields
The inmate roster field set is narrow but useful. It helps sort active jail results, clear a search, and open one person at a time. The research inspection found roster result controls and profile links, not a public advanced search with charge type, arresting agency, or release status filters.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sort by Last Name | Link/button | No | Sorts Livingston Parish inmate roster entries alphabetically by last name. |
| Sort by Booking Date | Link/button | No | Reorders the roster by booking date for recent custody checks. |
| Search | Text/control | No | Public roster search with no login marker visible. |
| Clear | Button | No | Clears the entered search or filter. |
| Previous / Next | Pagination | No | Moves between roster pages. |
| Page numbers | Pagination | No | Research inspection saw page-number navigation. |
| View | Link | No | Opens the public inmate profile. |
Livingston Parish Inmate Profile
A sample Livingston Parish inmate profile inspected from the roster showed booking and charge fields, but not every field a user might expect from a jail system. The sample had no visible mugshot in text extraction, no pod or holding location, and no release date. It did show enough to separate a jail custody record from a court docket.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full name | Name appears in last-name, first-name format. |
| Inmate ID | Numeric inmate identifier shown under the roster record. |
| Date of birth | Birth date appears in month, day, year format. |
| Race / Gender | Coded race and gender fields are shown. |
| Booking Date | Timestamp for booking into the Livingston Parish jail. |
| Court Date | Field appears, though it may be blank. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency tied to the arrest, such as LIVINGSTON SO. |
| Fugitive Hold | Yes or no hold field. |
| Charges | Statute, offense text, count, and bond condition. |
| Bond | Amount, Bond Pending, or hold status where listed. |

Livingston Parish Prison Contact
Livingston Parish Prison is the known local jail facility in the official sources reviewed. The jail is not the same location as the courthouse. Use the prison address and phone for custody, visitation, mail, money, and roster questions that are not answered online. The sheriff's mailing address is separate from the prison mailing entry, so written jail-related contact should use the prison information unless the sheriff's office directs otherwise.

State and Federal Custody
Not all Livingston Parish inmate records stay at the parish jail level. A person sentenced to state prison may move into Louisiana DPS&C custody. The Louisiana DPS&C offender information route is the state-level custody source after transfer. For custody notices across parish jails and state prisons, Louisiana VINE provides status and notification tools. The Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement says LAVINE monitors adult inmates in parish jails and state prisons and permits inquiry or registration by phone or website.
The Middle District of Louisiana court information page is relevant when custody connects to a federal case instead of a parish charge.
Federal court information does not replace the jail roster, but it helps when an inmate profile points toward a federal hold or federal case route.
Livingston Parish is in the Middle District of Louisiana under 28 U.S.C. 98.
The statute image supports the local routing point: parish custody records and federal filings are separate systems.
Booking and Court Charges
A Livingston Parish jail booking can show arresting agency, booking date, charges, counts, fugitive hold, and bond. That is a custody snapshot. It is not the final charge history. The Clerk's Criminal Department files formal charges from the District Attorney's Office, handles felony charges for Livingston Parish crimes, and handles misdemeanor and traffic matters outside municipal-court city limits. Once the DA files or declines charges, the court file may diverge from the jail profile.
The U.S. Attorney source points to the federal prosecutor for the Middle District. Use that route only when a matter is federal. The parish jail may show an outside-agency or fugitive hold, but federal filings are searched through federal court systems and not through the Livingston Parish Clerk.
That distinction matters when the same person has a parish booking record and a federal prosecution record.
Livingston Parish Visitation Contact
Official online sources reviewed identify the jail address and phone but do not publish a full Livingston Parish visitation schedule, video visit vendor, mail format, commissary vendor, or money-deposit instructions. Do not rely on old third-party summaries for visit times. Call Livingston Parish Prison before travel and ask whether visits are in person or video, whether the visitor must be approved, what government ID is required, whether minors may visit, and whether attorney visits use a different process.
| Topic | Published Official Detail | Best Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not located in official sources reviewed | Call (225) 686-2241 before traveling. |
| Video visitation vendor | Not located in official sources reviewed | Ask the jail for current vendor and rules. |
| Mail format | Not located in official sources reviewed | Confirm inmate name, ID, and mailing format. |
| Money deposits | Not located in official sources reviewed | Do not send cash until the jail confirms rules. |
| Commissary | Not located in official sources reviewed | Ask the facility for vendor and fee rules. |
For attorney visits, medical limits, lockdown changes, and whether mail is scanned or delivered physically, use the same direct phone fallback. The research file did not identify a handbook page that could be cited for those operational rules.
Note: Walker courtroom dress and security rules are municipal court rules and should not be treated as jail visitation rules.
Restricted Inmate Records
Louisiana public-record access does not make every jail or law-enforcement file public. Louisiana R.S. 44:3 creates limits for law-enforcement, investigative, and prosecutive records. Juvenile records are also restricted, and the Clerk notes that juvenile delinquent and Child in Need of Care petitions are confidential unless access is allowed by court order or an authorized role. A jail roster may be public while investigative reports, victim-sensitive records, sealed warrants, juvenile matters, and some identifiers remain withheld.
For released registered sex offenders, use the Louisiana State Police sex offender registry route rather than the jail roster. For final case outcomes, request the criminal disposition from the Clerk in writing. The Clerk FAQ lists a $10 per name per charge fee for criminal disposition requests mailed to the Criminal Filing Desk.
Federal case access uses PACER when the matter is in federal court.
PACER is useful only for federal court records, while the parish roster remains the local current-custody source.
