Find St. Landry Parish Inmates

St. Landry Parish Jail Roster

The St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz. The sheriff homepage lists the office at 1592 East Prudhomme Street in Opelousas and the sheriff correctional contact page lists the St. Landry Parish Jail at 108 South Market Street. The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections parish page confirms the jail address, jail phone, sheriff, District Attorney, and Clerk of Court contacts. The official online inmate route is the sheriff site's Inmates link, which points to the St. Landry Parish Jail roster hosted through LAVNS.

The roster page itself could not be fetched during research, so the page should be treated as the official route without claiming unverified result columns. State DPS&C documentation says family and friends can locate a person through Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System by location, name, and ID or case number. It also says LAVNS updates every 24 hours and includes people in custody as well as probation or parole supervision. Recent St. Landry Parish inmate records should still be verified with the jail if timing matters.

The sheriff correctional contact page is the local source for jail address, mailing address, and phone. The St. Landry Parish Sheriff's correctional contact page confirms the jail contact path for inmate questions.

Use that jail contact source when the roster is unavailable, delayed, or unclear.

Use the St. Landry Parish Inmate Roster

The roster path begins at the sheriff's Inmates link and the St. Landry LAVNS roster. Because the direct capture failed during research, the safest workflow is to combine the online roster with jail phone confirmation. LAVNS may help when searching by location, name, or ID/case number. If the person was transferred, released, placed on probation, or moved to state custody, the statewide DPS&C offender-information route may be more useful than the local jail roster alone.

1. Open the St. Landry Parish Jail roster route at https://stlandry.lavns.org/ from the sheriff inmate link.
2. Search by location, name, or ID/case number where those LAVNS fields are available.
3. Review the result carefully and avoid assuming unverified fields such as mugshot, housing unit, or bond detail are always displayed.
4. Call the jail at 337-948-5804 if the person may be newly booked, recently released, transferred, or missing from the public roster.
5. Use the statewide DPS&C offender-information route when the person may be in state prison, probation, or parole status.

Booking records connect to court records but do not replace them. The 27th JDC local rules state that the sheriff and all police departments that book an accused must make bail-related information available to the judge fixing bail, including seriousness of offense, controlled-dangerous-substance or violence issues, weight of evidence, prior criminal record, and ability to give bail.

St. Landry Parish Inmate Search Fields

The verified search-field information comes from DPS&C's description of LAVNS, not from a captured St. Landry roster screen. That distinction matters because the parish roster was not viewable during inspection. The fields below are the official LAVNS search concepts documented by the state source and should be used with jail follow-up when a result affects safety, bond, visitation, or court planning.

St. Landry Parish Inmate Profile Fields

No public St. Landry inmate profile sample was inspected because the roster returned an error during research capture. The table therefore separates what was verified from what should not be invented. Some jail rosters in other places show mugshots, booking dates, physical descriptors, charges, bond, housing, or release dates, but those items were not verified as St. Landry public fields. Confirm any key detail with the jail before acting on it.

Note: A jail roster entry is a custody record, while a filed charge, plea, sentence, or dismissal is a court record.

St. Landry Parish Jail Facility

The research identifies one main parish jail facility for inmate records. The sheriff correctional contact page and the DPS&C parish page both list the jail at 108 South Market Street in Opelousas, with P.O. Box 1029 as the mailing address. The DPS&C page also lists fax 337-942-9729. No separate capacity figure was located in the provided research, so capacity should not be quoted.

Booking and St. Landry Parish Court Charges

Booking starts with law enforcement and custody. Court charges begin when the prosecutor files or proceeds on formal charges, and the clerk keeps the resulting court record. One booking can lead to several charges, a changed charge, no filed charge, a bond decision, or later transfer into state custody. That is why a person checking St. Landry Parish inmate records should keep the jail roster, sheriff record request, DA charging path, and clerk court file separate.

The local bail rule detail is useful here. The 27th JDC rules require booking agencies to make offense seriousness, violence or controlled-substance factors, weight of evidence, prior record, and ability to give bail available to the judge fixing bail. Those factors may affect bond decisions, but they do not mean the public jail roster will display every item. Bond and charge details should be verified through the court file, jail, or counsel.

St. Landry Parish Jail Visitation

St. Landry Parish jail visitation is a privilege and may be restricted for rule violations, safety concerns, emergencies, escapes, riots, or security issues. Visitors can be searched and must provide valid driver's license, state ID, or military ID. People incarcerated within the prior six months are denied visiting privileges except relatives of the inmate. Visitors aged 13 through 17 must be accompanied by an adult, and each visitor may visit only one offender per day.

The sheriff's jail visitation page gives the detailed population and block schedule.

Check the current schedule before visiting because visits may be limited or stopped for jail operations.

St. Landry Parish Inmate Mail

Incoming and outgoing mail is inspected and processed daily except weekends and holidays. Incoming mail is delivered within 24 hours during normal workdays. Mail for transferred or released offenders is returned to sender. Offender-to-offender mail is prohibited unless the sheriff or designated administrator gives prior written approval. Legal mail to attorneys or courts is treated differently from ordinary mail, although staff may inspect outgoing legal mail in the offender's presence.

The sheriff's incoming and outgoing mail page lists mail limits, photo rules, and accepted book sources.

Paperback books must come directly from approved publisher or online distributor sources, and magazines and newspapers are not permitted.

St. Landry Parish Inmate Funds

All money in an offender's possession at booking goes into the offender account fund. If the offender owes debt from prior incarceration, half of posted funds goes to that debt and half remains for commissary, phone time, tablet time, and similar use. Deposits can be made through the lobby kiosk, card kiosk, online GTLFSOnlinePay, or U.S. Postal Service money order mailed to Inmate Account Management Fund, Attn: St. Landry Parish, 108 S. Market, Opelousas, LA 70570. Personal checks are not accepted.

The sheriff's offender funds page explains deposit options and fees.

Money cannot be released or transferred to another offender, so verify the person's custody status before making a deposit.

St. Landry Parish Jail Commissary

Commissary orders can be placed twice weekly and are delivered Mondays and Thursdays except holidays. Monday deliveries must be ordered before Sunday at 10 p.m., and Thursday deliveries must be ordered before Tuesday at 10 p.m. The jail sets a $150 weekly commissary spending limit for food and beverage items. Offenders without enough funds do not receive the order, though monthly hygiene packages and toilet paper can be ordered without a positive balance.

The sheriff's commissary rules page describes ordering, delivery, transfer, and release handling.

If an offender transfers before delivery, the order goes back to the commissary company for credit; if released, it is held briefly for pickup.
