St. Tammany Parish Jail Overview

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office Corrections page identifies the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center, also called the St. Tammany Parish Jail, as the parish's adult custody facility. The jail is owned by St. Tammany Parish Government, while STPSO staffs and runs daily operations. That split is useful when routing questions. Custody status, booking, bond, visitation, mail, property, and jail records go through the Sheriff's Office. Building ownership does not make parish government the right first contact for inmate lookup.

The jail holds adult pretrial detainees, parish jail inmates, adjudicated offenders, and federal prisoners when accepted under a U.S. Marshals Service agreement. STPSO lists a 1,180-bed capacity and names the internal departments that support custody work: administration, security, support, services, operations, classification, and transportation. The official public pages do not publish pod names, security tiers, or current daily population. For that reason, public jail searches should focus on the roster, jail phone lines, Criminal Records, and Louisiana VINE rather than unsourced housing labels.

The official STPSO Corrections source shows the local facility context that controls this page.

The screenshot is tied to the official corrections page, so it supports the facility address, capacity, and roster-route discussion rather than a third-party jail listing.

St. Tammany Parish Capacity

The strongest sourced facility number is the 1,180-bed capacity published by STPSO. Vera's Louisiana Locked Up parish page gives broader parish capacity context, but the facility-specific figure for the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center is the number that belongs in a jail contact or facility profile. STPSO did not publish a current average daily population in the inspected official pages, so an over-capacity or under-capacity claim would not be supported.

Older Department of Justice archive material described the jail as holding about 1,000 adult male and female prisoners at the time of that agreement, but that is historical conditions background. It should not be read as the current St. Tammany Parish jail population.

Look Up St. Tammany Parish Inmates

Current adult parish custody starts with the official STPSO inmate roster, which STPSO links from its Corrections page. The roster interface was blocked by Cloudflare during research, so exact fields should be treated with care. Use the live page as presented, then confirm through a phone or records channel when the result is unclear. For released people, older bookings, reports, warrants, or records not visible online, use STPSO Criminal Records or the public records request center.

1. Open the STPSO inmate roster from the official Corrections page, not a scraped jail directory.
2. Search or browse using the fields shown on the live roster, then compare the name, booking context, and custody status.
3. If the roster fails, call the jail main line at (985) 276-1000 or the DPS&C-listed jail line at (985) 276-1021.
4. For notifications, use Louisiana VINE or LAVINE, which monitors adult inmates in parish jails and state prisons.

Sentenced state prisoners may move to the Louisiana DPS&C offender information path. Federal sentenced prisoners use the BOP inmate locator. Immigration custody uses ICE ODLS. A federal pretrial detainee may still be held locally under the U.S. Marshals agreement, so the jail phone line can matter when BOP has no result.

St. Tammany Parish Jail Contact

The jail address is the practical contact point for custody and visitation questions, while STPSO Criminal Records handles public records, warrants housed by the agency, arrest reports, and booking documents. STPSO also publishes command contacts for the warden and jail leadership, but most family and public custody questions should begin with the main line or the specific division named on the official STPSO page.

St. Tammany Parish Visitation

STPSO states that the jail does not conduct regular contact or non-contact visits. Public visits are video visits, either onsite or remote. Professional visits may be remote, in person, or onsite video, and professional requests are email-based rather than phone-based. Visitors should use the official visitation page before scheduling because STPSO records and monitors regular video visits and can suspend accounts for misuse, duplicate accounts, recording, or posting visits online.

Note: Confirm custody status and visit approval before traveling, since a transfer, discipline issue, or schedule change can cancel a planned visit.

Mail and Money Rules

The STPSO inmate mail and money page gives the facility-specific rules. Non-legal and non-commercial mail is routed electronically through JailATM or sent to a JailATM processing address in Monroe. It is not mailed straight to the Champagne Street jail like a normal letter. Money can be placed online through the GTL Financial Services link published by STPSO, or by money order if the sender follows the account and address rules.

St. Tammany Parish Booking

Adult booking can follow an STPSO arrest, a Slidell or Covington municipal arrest, another agency arrest, or a warrant. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure art. 228 requires a booking book and booking information summary at jails and police stations. Those records include basic identity, property taken, booking date and time, arrest charges, and the arresting person or officer. The online roster may show less than the full booking file, so public inspection rights do not mean every field appears on a web profile.

After arrest, the usual path is transport, booking entry, property inventory, booking photo and fingerprints where applicable, classification, housing, and a first appearance or bond review. Classification is the jail process for assigning housing and supervision based on risk and needs. STPSO's Bond Office references 72-hour hearings and says bond changes from those hearings usually are not available until after 1 p.m. on hearing days. The jail does not give release dates to the public. Offenders may request parish jail release-date information through the housing-unit kiosk.

Bond and Property Limits

The STPSO Bond Office handles local bond information for the correctional facility, but it does not write bonds for other agencies. The Bond Office is closed daily from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m., and extraditions are not conducted on weekends. Cash bond requires the full amount plus a $30 bond fee. STPSO also describes surety, property, and personal surety bonds, each with its own eligibility rules.

Property releases are separate from bond. STPSO states that offender property releases occur Mondays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the person completing paperwork needs a valid driver's license or ID. The public cannot add personal property to an offender's property. Those limits matter because family members often confuse commissary deposits, bond money, and property pickup.

St. Tammany Parish Conditions

Current STPSO pages describe a mission of care, custody, and control and list PREA reporting through Lt. Todd Carson. Professional visits include attorneys, clergy, government representatives, and mental health workers with a professional need to see an offender. Attorney-client remote professional video may be approved through a professional user account and is treated differently from recorded regular video visits.

Conditions history should be dated clearly. A Department of Justice archive discussed an older agreement to improve conditions at the St. Tammany Parish Jail, and research also found references to Basic Jail Guidelines audit activity. Those sources are useful background, but they do not prove a current condition unless a current official audit or agency statement says so. Use the jail phone line and STPSO pages for present custody and visit rules.
