Bogalusa Jail Roster: Inmate Search, Bookings & Mugshots

Bogalusa Official Source Router

The public roster, city jail, city court, parish jail and district court are separate systems. Using the correct source prevents the most common errors: assuming a city arrest is still at the city jail, treating a warrant as current custody, or using a booking entry as the final court record.

How to Search the Bogalusa Jail Roster

What a Bogalusa Roster Result Means

The Louisiana LA VINE program describes its roster as a custody listing and says roster data comes from the jail’s own management-system feed. The public roster can help identify who is reported in custody, but it does not replace the filed court record.

What to Do When the Person Is Not on the Bogalusa Roster

Does the Bogalusa Jail Roster Show Mugshots?

Do not assume that a booking photo will be displayed simply because a third-party page uses the word “mugshots.” The Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement’s current LA VINE roster description specifically highlights custody identifiers such as date of birth, gender and race; it does not promise that every municipal roster entry will display a booking photograph.

If you need a Bogalusa booking photograph or another city-held booking record, use the City of Bogalusa Public Records process and ask for the specific existing record. Current Louisiana law separately addresses booking photographs, but local availability, exemptions and the record actually held by the city still matter.

Which Court Handles a Bogalusa Jail Case?

Bogalusa City Court says its territorial jurisdiction covers the entire 4th Ward of Washington Parish and includes adult criminal misdemeanor jurisdiction. It also handles juvenile matters and certain civil cases. Effective August 1, 2026, its published civil jurisdictional limit is less than $50,000.

The 22nd Judicial District Court serves Washington and St. Tammany Parishes and has original jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters in those parishes. In practical jail-search terms, felony and other district-court matters should be verified through the Washington Parish Clerk and 22nd JDC rather than assuming Bogalusa City Court controls every city arrest.

Bond and Release: Verify the Case, Amount and Holds

The 22nd Judicial District Court Commissioner states that arrestees in Washington Parish who qualify have a bond set within 24 hours of arrest, including weekends and holidays. The same court warns that booking can take several hours.

That does not mean every Bogalusa detainee is immediately releasable. Bond can depend on the court, charge, additional warrants or holds, and completion of jail processing.

Where Is Bogalusa City Jail?

The current Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections Washington Parish directory lists Bogalusa City Jail at 202 Arkansas Avenue, Bogalusa, LA 70426 with phone 985-732-6296. However, multiple current mapping/business datasets and older jail directories continue to identify 111 Memphis Street, Bogalusa, LA 70427 as the jail location.

Because the official sources available during this review do not fully reconcile that street-address difference, this guide does not tell visitors to rely on one address without confirmation.

The City of Bogalusa’s current staff directory separately identifies Janice Johnson as Corrections Warden and lists jail/corrections staff under the city’s Jail department.

Bogalusa City Jail Visitation: Call Before You Go

Older web material still circulates a Thursday visitation schedule for Bogalusa City Jail, but the current City of Bogalusa website pages reviewed for this update do not publish a current jail-visitation schedule, appointment system, visitor-ID rule or dress-code page.

For that reason, this article does not carry an old schedule forward as if it were current. Call the jail at 985-732-6296 and confirm the following before travelling:

• whether in-person visitation is currently offered;
• the correct day and check-in time;
• whether an appointment is required;
• accepted photo identification;
• rules for minors;
• visit length and weekly limits;
• dress and property restrictions;
• whether housing, discipline, medical isolation or court movement can cancel a visit.

The current City of Bogalusa pages reviewed for this article identify the jail and current staff, but they do not publish a complete current public guide for inmate mail, commissary deposits, phone-provider accounts, property release or publication rules.

How to Request Bogalusa Police or Jail Records

The City of Bogalusa says all public-record requests should be routed to its Public Records Custodian. Requests may be emailed, mailed or hand-delivered.

Describe the record precisely

A useful request identifies the existing record rather than asking the city to research a person generally. Include the person’s full name, approximate date, report/booking number if known, and the record type—such as booking record, incident report or booking photograph.

For a filed court case, use the court or clerk instead of the city public-record request. Louisiana law treats booking records and court records differently, and exemptions may apply to particular information.

Victim custody notifications

Louisiana DPS&C says LA VINE provides internet custody information and a 24-hour toll-free line at 866-528-6748. Registration for state-level victim services can involve additional steps beyond a local LA VINE roster registration.
