Find the Booking, Then Route the Next Question Correctly
The Sheriff-linked inmate list is the fastest starting point for checking whether someone currently appears in Livingston Parish custody.
After the name match, use a separate verified source for court records, bond, release, inmate mail, calls, commissary, state transfer or an official booking-photo request.
Choose the Task Before You Open Another Website
The roster answers a current-custody question. The Clerk answers a court-record question. Correct Solutions handles the linked phone service, FORECOMM handles the Sheriff-linked commissary route, and public-record requests have a separate mailed process.
Use the Correct Source for the Answer You Need
Do not enter personal information into random search forms. Choose the task here first, then enter the person’s information only on the official or Sheriff-linked destination.
Livingston Parish Source Finder
This helper stores nothing. It does not ask for a real inmate name, date of birth, case number, phone number or payment information.
How to Search the Livingston Parish Jail Roster
The Livingston Parish Sheriff website links its “Inmate List” directly to the TBS Web roster. Use that route rather than treating a third-party inmate directory as the live jail database.
Open the Sheriff-Linked Roster
Start with the current Livingston Parish inmate list.
Search the Legal Surname First
Start with the surname. When needed, add the first name or try a maiden, former or hyphenated surname.
Use DOB for Common-Name Results
The current roster includes a separate DOB search field using MM-DD-YYYY. This is especially useful when several people share a similar name.
Compare Several Fields
The current list view displays name, date of birth, race/gender and booking date. Do not identify someone from the name alone.
Open “View” for Current Entry Detail
The list contains a View action for each record. Use whatever current detail is actually shown there; do not assume an older screenshot reflects today’s public fields.
Refresh Before You Spend Money or Travel
Recheck current custody immediately before funding an account, mailing something important, arranging release transportation or travelling to the facility.
Very recent arrest: a person may still be in transport, identification, medical screening or intake processing. Call 225-686-2241 when a same-day custody answer is important.
Read the Current Roster Without Assuming Extra Fields
The verified list view is intentionally simple. Charges, bond amounts, mugshots and release information are not separate columns on the current list screen.
| Current list item | What it helps confirm | Do not confuse it with |
|---|---|---|
| Name | The name used by the current jail roster. | Proof that you have the correct person when names are similar. |
| DOB | A strong secondary identity check. | Booking date or court date. |
| Race / gender | Additional identifiers provided by the roster. | A substitute for stronger identity details. |
| Booking date | When the displayed jail booking was recorded. | Offense date, hearing date or release date. |
| View | Opens the current public detail available for that record. | A guarantee that every charge, mugshot, bond or court field will be displayed. |
Booking does not prove guilt. Use the court record for filed charges and case outcomes.
Five Livingston Parish Search Traps to Avoid
Livingston Parish Detention Center vs Livingston Parish Prison
The Livingston Parish Sheriff calls the local facility Livingston Parish Detention Center. Louisiana DPS&C lists the same local jail as Livingston Parish Prison.
| Name | Official source | Address / phone |
|---|---|---|
| Livingston Parish Detention Center | Livingston Parish Sheriff | 28445 Charlie Watts Road • 225-686-2241 |
| Livingston Parish Prison | Louisiana DPS&C directory | 28445 Charlie Watts Road • 225-686-2241 |
| Livingston Parish Transition Center | Correct Solutions facility directory | Separate Walker provider listing • 225-686-3315 |
When you need to confirm the local-jail listing after a transfer question, review the Louisiana DPS&C Livingston Parish directory.
How to Check a Livingston Parish Mugshot Correctly
The current roster list screen does not contain a separate mugshot column. Open the individual View option first to see what detail is currently public for that booking.
If a Photo Is Displayed
- Compare the photo with the legal name and DOB.
- Check the booking date before calling it a current arrest.
- Do not describe a charge as a conviction.
- Check the Clerk record for the current case outcome.
If the Booking Photo Is Not Displayed
An official booking photograph may require a Sheriff public-record request. Request the specific existing photo or booking record rather than a broad “background check.”
Disclosure is not automatic. The Sheriff’s current policy states that not every record in its possession is deemed public.
What to Do When Someone Is Missing From the Roster
Missing-Inmate Troubleshooter
Recent Arrests Can Sit Between Systems
The arresting agency, transport destination and booking system may not update simultaneously. For an urgent same-day question, call the detention facility rather than repeatedly refreshing an unofficial page.
A Court Case Can Exist Without Current Jail Custody
A person can have a pending charge, warrant history, probation matter or future hearing without appearing in the jail’s current list.
Use the Clerk for Filed Livingston Parish Criminal Records
The Livingston Parish Clerk of Court Criminal Department files formal charges submitted by the District Attorney. It handles Livingston Parish felony matters and many misdemeanor and traffic matters outside municipal-court jurisdiction.
City-Court Exception
A misdemeanor or traffic citation inside a municipality may belong to that municipal court instead. The Clerk specifically gives Denham Springs as an example where an in-city misdemeanor or citation may need to be handled through city court.
Jurisdiction check: do not assume every Livingston Parish arrest produces a searchable 21st Judicial District record in exactly the same way. Confirm where the charge was filed.
Livingston Parish Courthouse
20300 Government Blvd., 1st Floor
Livingston, LA 70754
Phone: 225-686-2216
Mailing: P.O. Box 1150, Livingston, LA 70754
After identifying the proper court, use the official Livingston Parish Criminal Department page.
Juvenile Records Are Different
The Clerk states that juvenile delinquency and Child in Need of Care records are confidential and may not be viewed by the public without the required court authority.
What the $20 Livingston Parish Criminal Record Check Includes
The Clerk currently offers a criminal-record check from its own courthouse case-management system and files for $20.
| Item | Included? | What the Clerk says |
|---|---|---|
| Docket number(s) | Yes | Returned when a Livingston Parish court record is found. |
| Offense(s) | Yes | Included in the result. |
| Brief disposition | Yes | A short description of the disposition is reported. |
| Certified affidavit | Yes | The result is returned as a certified affidavit, including a no-record result. |
| Statewide Louisiana history | No | The search covers records from this court only. |
Use the official Clerk criminal-record-check instructions before submitting the form and $20 check or money order.
Do Not Guess Livingston Parish Bond From a Generic Formula
The current Sheriff Detention Center page audited for this refresh does not publish a universal public bond schedule. The safest workflow is to identify the correct booking, verify the filed case and confirm the current bond and holds directly.
Ask These Questions Before Paying
- Is the person still in Livingston Parish custody?
- Which court case is tied to the bond?
- What is the current bond amount?
- Which bond type or payment route is currently accepted?
- Does another warrant, probation or agency hold exist?
- Would satisfying this bond make the person eligible for release?
- Are any private bondsman fees or collateral terms separate?
Never assume “10%” automatically applies. Verify the actual case and payment method before giving money to a third party.
Bond Verification Script
“I’m checking current bond and release eligibility for [full legal name]. Is the person currently housed at Livingston Parish Detention Center, what bond currently applies, is there another hold, and would satisfying the bond make the person eligible for release?”
Verify Visitation Before Driving to the Jail
The current Sheriff Detention Center page reviewed for this refresh does not publish a live visitation timetable. Because third-party pages provide inconsistent schedules and provider assumptions, this guide does not copy an unverified visit schedule.
Confirm These Details by Phone
- Is the inmate still housed at the Detention Center?
- Are visits currently in person, video or both?
- What days and times apply?
- Does the visitor need advance approval?
- Is online registration required?
- How early must the visit be scheduled?
- What photo ID is accepted?
- What are the rules for minors?
- What clothing and property are prohibited?
- Can a lockdown or facility event cancel a scheduled visit?
Travel safeguard: call 225-686-2241 before leaving, especially for a long drive.
Use the official Detention Center page for any newly published facility instructions.
Use the Correct Livingston Parish Inmate Mail Address
The Sheriff separates routine inmate correspondence from original transaction documents and legal mail.
Routine Personal Inmate Mail
Livingston Parish Detention Center
Inmate Name/Number
2252 Tower Dr Suite 108-251
Monroe, LA 71201
Routine mail is sent to a central processing facility, opened, scanned and delivered to the inmate electronically through the tablet system.
Bulk mailings are not permitted. Do not send routine personal correspondence to the Charlie Watts Road physical jail simply because that is where the inmate is housed.
Original Transactional Documents
P.O. Box 1000
Livingston, LA 70754
This route is for an original document the inmate must sign or complete to carry out a transaction, such as endorsing a check or transferring a vehicle title.
Legal Mail
P.O. Box 1000
Livingston, LA 70754
The Sheriff states that qualifying legal mail must be sent by a legally approved entity, identified on the current page as the licensed attorney of record.
Identifier check: all three routes require the correct inmate name/number. Confirm the identifier before sending anything time-sensitive or valuable.
Choose the Correct Livingston Facility Before Funding Phone Service
The Sheriff links Correct Solutions Group for inmate phone services. Correct Solutions currently lists two similarly named Livingston facilities.
| Provider listing | Facility ID | Phone | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Livingston Parish Detention Center | 24084 | 225-686-2241 | The local jail covered by this article. |
| Livingston Parish Transition Center | 24071 | 225-686-3315 | A separate provider listing in Walker. |
Before You Fund an Account
- Verify current custody first.
- Select Livingston Parish Detention Center.
- Confirm facility ID 24084 when the provider displays IDs.
- Review the recipient information.
- Check the provider’s current fees before authorizing payment.
- Save the confirmation number.
After matching the facility, use the Correct Solutions Group website.
Provider support: the current Correct Solutions facility page lists 1-877-618-3516 for phone or inmate-account assistance.
Livingston Parish Commissary Deposits: Check the Provider Before Paying
The Sheriff currently links FORECOMM Solutions for commissary services.
Provider-Wide Deposit Limits
FORECOMM’s current FAQ lists a maximum of $300 per deposit and a maximum of three card transactions over seven days. A particular facility or inmate account may still have additional restrictions.
| Problem | Provider guidance |
|---|---|
| Prepaid card declines | Register an address with the prepaid-card company first. |
| Debit/credit card declines | Use the billing address that matches the card issuer’s records. |
| Suspicious activity message | The card may have reached the provider’s transaction limits. |
| Need account balance | FORECOMM says it does not provide inmate account balance or activity information. |
| Need to confirm deposit | Keep the task number; the provider can use it to verify whether the deposit posted. |
| Want to deposit by phone | Credit-card deposits are not accepted by phone. |
Use the FORECOMM Solutions website only after confirming the person and facility.
Customer-service help: FORECOMM lists 337-234-3534, option 1, for customer-service assistance. The provider says card-processing questions may require separate processor support.
Tablet Services Are a Different Link
The Sheriff separately links JailATM for tablet services. Do not assume a tablet payment, commissary deposit and phone payment are the same account.
Use the JailATM route linked by LPSO only for the supported tablet-related service.
Check LA VINE When the Person Moves Into State Custody
Louisiana DPS&C directs families and the public to LA VINE to locate people assigned to state corrections custody or supervision. The state says the locator data are updated every 24 hours.
State Locator Options
- Search by supported name, location or ID/case information.
- Use state search after a confirmed transfer from local jail custody.
- Call 225-383-4580 with the DPS&C number or name and DOB for housing information.
- Use the 24-hour LA VINE victim-information number at 866-528-6748 when appropriate.
Use the Louisiana DPS&C inmate-information page after you have reason to believe the person is no longer in local parish custody.
Another Louisiana parish? When the arrest, warrant or transfer genuinely points to St. Tammany rather than Livingston, use our St. Tammany Parish Jail Roster & Inmate Search guide. Do not substitute another parish roster merely because the Livingston result is blank.
How to Request a Livingston Parish Sheriff Record or Mugshot
The Sheriff’s current posted public-record policy requires requests directed to LPSO to be made in writing by United States Mail.
Mail the Request Here
Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office
P.O. Box 850
Livingston, LA 70754
The Request Must Include
- Your name
- Your age
- Your return address
- Enough information to identify the exact record being requested
Submission-method rule: LPSO’s posted policy says requests transmitted by another method are not acceptable and are not considered received.
What Happens After LPSO Receives the Request?
- LPSO reviews whether the requested record is public under Louisiana law.
- If approved for release, an invoice stating the cost of producing the record is mailed to the requester.
- The invoice must be paid before the record is released.
- The policy lists cash or money order for in-person payment at the Sheriff’s courthouse office, or mailed payment to the Custodian of Records.
In-Person Invoice Payment Location
Livingston Parish Courthouse
20300 Government Blvd.
Livingston, LA 70754
Do not assume every record will be released. The Sheriff’s policy states that records deemed non-public under applicable law are not released.
Precise Booking-Photo Request
“I am requesting the releasable booking photograph and/or booking record for [full legal name], associated with a booking occurring approximately on [date]. Please process the identified existing record and notify me of the production cost if the record is determined to be public.”
After understanding the procedure, open the official Livingston Parish Sheriff Public Records Request Policy PDF.

- Do not publish protected victim, juvenile or medical information.
- Do not use booking information to harass or threaten someone.
- Verify filed charges and outcomes through the court.
