Where to Check for an Inmate or Record
For St. Mary Parish jail custody, start with the sheriff's inmate information system or the official roster. For a trip to the jail, a bond question, or a visitation question, call before leaving because the public pages do not publish every current lobby or visitation detail.

Use court and clerk channels for official case records, hearing information, and filings after an arrest.
Use the route that matches the record you need:
- For someone held at the parish jail, use jail inmate records and the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's roster or 337-836-9509.
- For booking images shown on official rosters, use jail roster mugshots and verify any record with the holding agency.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, the Clerk of Court, or the 16th Judicial District Attorney.
- For a specific jail or work program, use the facility pages in the footer, including the Law Enforcement Center, TWP, Patterson, and Morgan City.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use Louisiana DPS&C through VINELink/LAVNS or the DPS&C phone locator when you have the required name, date of birth, or DPS&C number.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator rather than a parish roster.
