Plaquemines Parish Jail Roster

The official sheriff-linked custody list is the Plaquemines Parish Jail Roster, a LAVNS roster reached from the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office inmate roster link. The roster was available as a public page during research and no public login was visible for the main table. It is best treated as a current local custody check for the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office Detention Center, not as a full booking-file database. The table showed people in alphabetical, last-name-first format, with a VINE/LAVNS icon beside each row for custody-notification registration.

The public row extraction was narrow. It showed name, date of birth, race, sex, and the VINE link. It did not show a booking number, charge list, bond amount, housing unit, arresting agency, booking time, release date, or booking photo in the visible table. That matters when reading Plaquemines Parish inmate records. A person can be in the jail but not yet visible while booking is being entered, and a sentenced or transferred person can drop from the parish list even though the court case or DOC custody record still exists.

PPSO also promotes the official Plaquemines Parish Sheriff LA mobile app with Google Play and Apple App Store links. The official app page did not confirm an app-only jail roster, warrant search, or records request feature during research, so use the known roster and PPSO records links for inmate-record tasks.

Use Plaquemines Parish Inmate Records

Start with the sheriff-linked roster when the goal is to confirm local jail custody after an arrest in Plaquemines Parish. The roster does not work like a modern search form in the inspected extract. It appeared as a long public table, so a desktop browser find search can be useful for jumping to a surname. Names were shown in uppercase with the last name first. Use the date of birth, race, and sex fields to avoid mixing up people with similar names.

1. Open the PPSO homepage roster link or go directly to the LAVNS Plaquemines Parish Jail Roster.
2. Search the page for the last name, then compare the first and middle names as shown in the row.
3. Use date of birth, race, and sex to separate similar Plaquemines Parish inmate records.
4. Select the VINE/LAVNS icon only when the goal is custody-status notification, not a mugshot or charge report.
5. If the person is missing, call Intake and Booking at 504-934-7637 or 504-934-7635.
6. Use a written PPSO public-records request for an arrest report, mugshot, warrant, or richer booking record.

New arrests may lag behind the public table. The safer local phrasing is that a recent arrestee may not appear immediately while intake is still active. PPSO publishes direct booking desk and control-room numbers for the Detention Center, so the phone channel is part of the official access chain, not a last resort. For facility-specific custody and mail details, the primary jail page for the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office Detention Center is the local facility reference.

Plaquemines Parish Roster Fields

The roster research captured a public table rather than a county search form with many filters. The useful fields are the fields printed in each row. Treat them as matching fields for the person in custody. If a field does not appear in the table, do not assume the sheriff has published it online.

VINELink is the Louisiana notification route linked from roster rows. It can help a victim, family member, attorney, or other interested person register for custody-status changes. It is not the same thing as a PPSO arrest report. It also does not turn a parish roster row into a court record.

Plaquemines Parish Inmate Record Details

A Plaquemines Parish inmate record can mean several different records. The public LAVNS row is one record. PPSO booking and arrest files are another. Court records, DOC records, and federal custody records are separate. The table below keeps the public roster fields apart from items that were not visible in the sampled table.

For a booking photo tied to a Plaquemines Parish inmate record, use the official records-request path or the mugshot-specific guidance on the Plaquemines Parish jail mugshots page. PPSO's fee schedule lists mugshot requests, arrest reports, and arrest warrants as separate request items.

Plaquemines Parish Records Requests

PPSO says public records requests must be made in writing and processed during regular business hours on business days. Requests should use the online Public Records Request Online Form at the official Freshdesk portal and should not be sent to individual PPSO employees. PPSO states that it strives to inform the requester of status within five days after receiving a request. Fees are invoiced by email, records are not released until applicable fees are paid, and a new request may be required if payment is not received within 10 working days after notice.

The PPSO public-records instructions list local fee items that matter for inmate records. The March 2026 schedule lists an arrest report at $25, a mugshot at $10, and an arrest warrant at $25. The separate PPSO Freshdesk records portal is the official written intake route linked from the sheriff's site. Include a full name, date of birth if known, arrest date or booking date if known, and the exact item needed.

Plaquemines Parish Custody Lookup Channels

The parish roster is for local custody. It should not be used as the only check for a sentenced Louisiana prisoner, a federal prisoner, or a person moved into immigration custody. Louisiana DPS&C directs public location checks through VINELink and also provides a phone locator channel at 225-383-4580 when the caller has a DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth. Facility placement can depend on classification, medical or mental-health needs, program status, and space.

Plaquemines Parish Jail Facilities

Plaquemines Parish has one primary local jail complex and one DOC-recognized transitional work program at the same Highway 15 jail campus area. The primary jail is the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office Detention Center in Davant/Braithwaite. PPSO describes the correctional center as an 800-bed facility that opened on February 11, 2015, and was built more than 18 feet in the air inside the federal hurricane-protection levee system. The transitional work program is a reentry and work-release custody placement, not a separate BOP or ICE facility.

Plaquemines Parish Booking Records

Booking at the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office Detention Center is the local intake point after a PPSO arrest, other local law-enforcement arrest, state police arrest, or another agency transport. PPSO does not publish a full intake policy in the research, so only the locally documented pieces should be treated as official: the Detention Center address, booking desk numbers, control-room numbers, mail rules, and public-records process. Ordinary jail intake can include identity checks, property inventory, booking photo and fingerprints where applicable, medical or safety screening, classification, and housing assignment.

Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure art. 230.1 is the key post-booking timing rule. It requires the sheriff or law-enforcement custodian to bring an arrested person before a judge for appointment of counsel promptly and within 72 hours from arrest, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. The court may also fix or review bail at that appearance. A Plaquemines Parish jail roster row is not the same as that court event, and the public row may not show charges or bond.

Plaquemines Parish Visitation Records

PPSO's corrections page displayed a clear warning that no outside visitors were allowed into the correctional center at the time of research. No official public schedule for in-person visits, video visits, remote visit fees, visitor dress code, child rules, or visit length was located in PPSO sources. The safest local instruction is to call the jail before any attempt to visit. Attorney or professional access should also be confirmed with facility staff because public visit limits may not apply in the same way.

Note: Call Main Control at 504-934-7602 or 504-934-7603 before any visit attempt because visitor access was restricted in official PPSO material.

Plaquemines Parish Mail and Funds

Mail for the jail must be addressed to Plaquemines Parish Detention Center with the inmate's name, inmate PPSO number, and dorm, then sent to P.O. Box 67, Pointe-a-la-Hache, LA 70082. PPSO mail rules bar contraband, tape on envelopes, binder paper protectors, stamps, blank pages, cash, personal checks, hard books, stickers, electronic or pop-up or music cards, nonstandard cards, outside-purchased items, and staples. PPSO also says newspapers are no longer accepted and books or magazines are ordered through commissary once a month instead of from outside sources.

No official local commissary vendor or jail-deposit fee table was located on PPSO pages. For Plaquemines Parish inmate records tied to DOC custody or the Transitional Work Program, DOC money information may involve JPay, MoneyGram, mail-to-JPay, or phone payments, but those DOC channels should not be assumed for every parish jail detainee. Call the detention center before sending funds.
