Search the Beauregard Parish Jail Roster Before You Rely on a Mugshot or Old Booking
The Beauregard Parish Sheriff publishes both a current inmate roster and a 48-hour release view. Start with the Sheriff roster for local detention status, then move to the 36th Judicial District Court, Clerk of Court, LA VINE or Louisiana DOC when your question is about a case, release notification or state custody.
Quick Answer: Where to Search Beauregard Jail Inmates
Use the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s official roster menu. Choose Current Inmates when you need present local custody. Choose 48 Hour Release when the person appeared recently but may already have left the detention center.
The current roster can display a booking photograph, Booking Number, Booking Date, charges and bond. An individual profile can also show age, gender, race and arresting agency. Those are booking and custody records—not a final court judgment.
Current Inmates and 48-Hour Releases Answer Different Questions
Current Inmates
Use this view to check who is currently displayed in Beauregard Parish Detention Center custody. The roster supports alphabetical navigation and sorting by booking date.
48 Hour Release
The Sheriff’s roster menu specifically provides a 48-hour release option for people released from the detention center during that window. Released entries can show both Booking Date and Release Date.
A released roster entry does not mean the criminal case ended. It only tells you what the jail system reports about release from that booking. Use the court record for the legal case.
Which Official Source Should You Use Next?

Current inmates, recent releases, mugshots, booking details, charges and bond fields.
Official roster menu →Beauregard Parish Clerk of Court
Criminal index and document access plus official courthouse records for cases filed in the parish.
Clerk online records →36th Judicial District Court
The state district court with original jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters in Beauregard Parish.
36th JDC →LA VINE
Statewide adult custody status and supported notification registration for parish jails and state prisons.
Louisiana victim notification →Louisiana DPS&C
Use after sentencing or transfer when state corrections—not the parish jail—controls the person’s assignment.
DOC inmate information →Federal Bureau of Prisons
Use for federal prison custody; a parish booking or outside-agency hold does not automatically mean BOP custody.
BOP locator →How to Search the Beauregard Parish Jail Roster
- Open the Sheriff’s roster menu. Confirm you are on the Beauregard Parish Sheriff domain before entering or sharing identifying information.
- Choose Current or Released. Use Current for present detention. Use the release view when the person may have left custody during the last 48 hours.
- Search or browse the legal name. The current roster supports alphabetical browsing and can be sorted by booking date. Check spelling before assuming there is no record.
- Open the full profile. Compare the mugshot and available identity fields with the Booking Number, Booking Date and Arresting Agency. Do not identify a person by name alone when names are similar.
- Read every charge and bond line. Multiple charges, probation or parole issues, warrants, DOC identifiers or outside-agency holds can appear in the same booking.
- Verify before you act. Call the Detention Center for current bail, charges and case numbers before paying bond or arranging release, and use the Clerk or Court for legal case status.
What a Beauregard Parish Booking Profile Can Tell You
| Roster field | What it helps with | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Mugshot | Additional identity comparison when the Sheriff displays a booking image. | Guilt, conviction or present custody after release. |
| Booking Number | Identifying the specific jail booking when calling detention staff. | It is not automatically the criminal court case number. |
| Booking Date | Showing when the displayed jail admission was recorded. | The offense date, arraignment date or release date. |
| Arresting Agency | Identifying the agency associated with the displayed arrest or booking. | That the Sheriff made every arrest or owns every underlying report. |
| Charges | Showing the allegations or custody reasons currently attached to the booking. | The final filed charge or eventual court disposition. |
| Bond | Showing the bond amount currently displayed by the roster when one appears. | That the figure is still current or that payment guarantees immediate release. |
| Release Date | Showing when a released-entry record reports release from that booking. | That the court case was dismissed, completed or resolved. |
Beauregard Parish Mugshots: What the Sheriff Roster Actually Shows
The official Beauregard Parish Sheriff roster currently displays booking photographs with many inmate entries and individual profiles. That makes the Sheriff roster a better starting point for a current Beauregard mugshot than a commercial mugshot archive.
Identity comparison
- Compare the photo with the legal name.
- Check age, gender and race when displayed.
- Match the Booking Number and Booking Date.
- Check Arresting Agency rather than assuming it was the Sheriff.
Legal conclusions
- Do not call the person convicted because a mugshot exists.
- Do not repost an old image as proof of current incarceration.
- Do not infer the final charge or sentence from the booking photo.
- Do not use the image for harassment, threats or stalking.
If You Cannot Find the Person
| Problem | Possible explanation | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Very recent arrest | Intake, identification or roster publication may not be complete. | Retry the live Sheriff roster and call 337-460-5520 if immediate confirmation matters. |
| Name does not match | Spelling, middle-name use, hyphenation, former surname or an alias may differ. | Try a broader surname search and compare the full profile rather than a name-only result. |
| Person was listed earlier | The person may have been released recently. | Check the Sheriff’s 48 Hour Release view. |
| Known sentence or DOC transfer | State custody may have replaced parish-jail custody. | Search through LA VINE or Louisiana DPS&C inmate information. |
| Warrant but no custody entry | A warrant or bench warrant can exist without current jail custody. | Contact the Sheriff or Court for warrant verification instead of treating the roster as a warrant database. |
| Federal case or transfer | Custody may have moved outside the parish system. | Verify the controlling agency and use the BOP locator when federal prison custody applies. |
Beauregard Parish Jail: Current Facility Facts
412 Bolivar Bishop Drive
DeRidder, Louisiana 70634
Jail phone: 337-460-5520
161-bed parish jail
The Sheriff says the facility operates with 161 beds and houses pretrial inmates plus a limited number of adjudicated offenders.
Separate from Civil Office
The Sheriff’s Civil address is 120 South Stewart Street. Do not use the Civil Office address when your task specifically requires the jail or criminal division.
The current facility opened in 1984 on what was then Mayeaux Drive and is now Bolivar Bishop Drive. The Sheriff’s corrections page distinguishes it from the historic 1914 jail, which is not the current detention location.
Bond, Case Numbers and the 36th Judicial District Court
The 36th Judicial District Court has original jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters in Beauregard Parish. Its courthouse is at 200 West Second Street in DeRidder.
200 West Second Street, DeRidder
Phone: 337-463-7993
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Lunch closure: 12:00-1:00 p.m.
Criminal record custodian
Phone: 337-463-8595
Criminal Records Fax: 337-202-7834
Mail: P.O. Box 100, DeRidder, LA 70634
Before you post bond
- Have the exact Booking Number and legal name.
- Ask detention staff for the current charges and case number.
- Confirm the current bail amount instead of relying on an old roster screenshot.
- Ask whether another warrant, hold, probation or parole matter, or outside agency prevents release.
- Confirm the approved payment method and location before sending money to anyone.
- Do not assume a roster bond amount means release will occur immediately after payment.
Warrants: Do Not Treat the Jail Roster as a Complete Warrant Search
The Sheriff’s roster can show “WARRANT/BENCH WARRANT” on an inmate profile, but that only describes a listed booking or custody matter. It is not a complete public index of every active Beauregard Parish warrant.
For a current warrant question, contact the Sheriff at 337-463-3281 or 833-404-1371 and use the relevant court or Clerk record when a bench warrant or criminal case is involved. A warrant does not by itself prove present incarceration.
Visitation, Calls, Mail and Inmate Money: Verify Before You Travel or Pay
The current public Sheriff pages reviewed for this article clearly publish the jail phone, correctional address, roster and PREA information, but they did not provide a sufficiently complete current public set of visitation schedules, inmate-mail rules, phone-provider terms or commissary and deposit instructions that could be safely reproduced here without guessing.
Before visiting
- Call 337-460-5520 and confirm the inmate remains in custody.
- Ask for the current visiting day and time.
- Ask whether visits are in person, video or both.
- Confirm advance scheduling and accepted photo ID.
- Ask about rules for minors and prohibited belongings.
Before mailing
- Confirm the current inmate-mail address; do not assume the public jail street address is the mail-processing address.
- Ask whether the Booking Number or another inmate identifier is required.
- Confirm photo, card, envelope, book and publication restrictions.
- Ask whether legal mail uses a different procedure.
Before adding money
- Confirm the current official deposit provider and inmate identifier.
- Review transaction fees before submitting payment.
- Keep commissary or inmate-account funds separate from bail.
- Do not use a payment link sent by an unsolicited caller or social-media account.
Before funding calls or messages
- Ask which communications provider is currently active.
- Verify rates and account setup on the provider linked or named by the jail.
- Ask how blocked calls are resolved.
- Do not assume an old third-party jail directory has the current provider.
PREA and Safety Reporting
Beauregard Parish Sheriff states that both the parish jail and the Southwest Transitional Work Program maintain a zero-tolerance standard for sexual abuse and sexual harassment. The Sheriff publishes a dedicated Prison Rape Elimination Act page for policy and annual-report information.
Use LA VINE or Louisiana DOC When the Parish Roster Is Not Enough
Louisiana’s Commission on Law Enforcement lists Beauregard Parish as a participating LA VINE Roster jurisdiction. LCLE says its LA VINE roster feeds reuse data from participating jail-management systems and are updated every 30 minutes. That refresh statement applies to the LA VINE roster feed—not necessarily to every screen on the Sheriff’s own website.
LA VINE
Search adult custody status and register for supported custody-change notifications such as release or transfer.
Louisiana DPS&C
DPS&C directs families to LA VINE for people assigned to state custody and also provides an Imprisoned Person Locator phone route at 225-383-4580.
Federal BOP
Use BOP only when federal prison custody applies. State, parish and federal systems are separate.
Louisiana DPS&C states that its state-custody LA VINE information is updated every 24 hours. LCLE separately states that participating parish LA VINE roster feeds update every 30 minutes. These are different refresh statements for different functions.
Criminal Court Records: Use the Clerk, Not the Mugshot Page
The Beauregard Parish Clerk of Court offers online criminal index and document imaging for released records from March 2009 forward. The Clerk warns that the online version is a convenience and that only the official public records maintained by the Clerk’s office should be treated as the official public record.
- Start with the booking profile. Save the legal name, Booking Number, Booking Date and available case-related information.
- Use the Clerk’s online records search. Search the criminal index when you need the filed case rather than jail custody.
- Expect account or login requirements. The Clerk’s online search page provides account setup and login routes.
- Contact the Clerk for official records. Online information can help locate a case, but the Clerk distinguishes it from the official public record maintained in the office.

Beauregard Jail Roster FAQs
Is it Beauregard County or Beauregard Parish?
The official Louisiana jurisdiction is Beauregard Parish. Louisiana uses parishes instead of counties. People who search “Beauregard County jail roster” usually mean the Beauregard Parish jail roster in DeRidder.
Where is the official Beauregard Parish inmate roster?
The Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office publishes the official roster menu with Current Inmates and a 48 Hour Release option. Use the Sheriff website for local booking profiles rather than relying on a copied roster.
Can I see people released from Beauregard Parish Jail?
Yes. The Sheriff roster provides a 48 Hour Release option for people released from the Beauregard Parish Detention Center during the most recent 48-hour window available in that system.
Does the Beauregard jail roster show mugshots?
Yes. The current Sheriff roster displays booking photographs with many records, and individual profiles can also show Booking Number, age, gender, race, Arresting Agency, Booking Date, charges and bond information.
Is the bond amount on the roster guaranteed to be current?
No. The Sheriff’s inmate-profile notice says charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and may not be current. Call the Detention Center at 337-460-5520 for the correct bail amount, charges and case numbers before posting bail.
What if I cannot find someone on the current roster?
Check spelling, retry the current roster, and check the 48 Hour Release view. The person may also have been transferred to state or federal custody. Call the jail when a same-day custody answer is important.
How do I check the criminal court case?
Use the Beauregard Parish Clerk of Court’s criminal index and document search and the 36th Judicial District Court. The jail roster is a custody record and should not replace the official court record.
How do I verify a Beauregard Parish warrant?
A “WARRANT/BENCH WARRANT” label can appear on a jail booking, but the inmate roster is not a complete warrant database. The Sheriff’s Most Wanted page currently reports no available content. Contact the Sheriff or relevant court for current warrant verification.
Where can I find current visiting, mail, phone and commissary rules?
Call Beauregard Parish Jail at 337-460-5520. During this source review, the public Sheriff pages did not provide a sufficiently complete current set of these operational rules to reproduce without guessing. Verify them before travelling, mailing property or funding an account.
What should I do after a transfer to Louisiana state custody?
Use Louisiana DPS&C inmate information and LA VINE. DPS&C says friends and family can use LA VINE for people assigned to state custody and can call the Imprisoned Person Locator at 225-383-4580 with the person’s DPS&C number or name and date of birth.

- A booking charge is not necessarily the final filed or adjudicated charge.
- A warrant does not prove current incarceration.
- A mugshot does not prove guilt or current custody.
- A 48-hour released entry does not mean the criminal case ended.
- Do not use jail information to harass, threaten, stalk, shame or impersonate anyone.
- Verify current official records before employment, housing, legal, travel or financial decisions.
