West Feliciana Parish Jail Roster
The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office publishes two official custody tools for local jail records. The WFPSO Jail Bookings page gives a recent-booking text list and links to the current LAVNS roster. The recent-booking entries inspected in 2026 showed booking date, name, age, address or location, and charge text. The current roster link opens a West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster page with a disclaimer, Show All link, A-Z last-name filters, a last-updated timestamp, and a prompt to register for custody-status changes through LAVNS.
The roster can be blank at a given inspection. During research, the LAVNS screen displayed the roster controls and timestamp but no visible offender rows. That does not erase the recent-booking list, and it does not mean a person was never booked. For urgent current-custody questions, WFPSO directs users to the West Feliciana Parish Jail at (225) 784-3158. The sheriff's non-emergency line, (225) 784-3136, is answered around the clock, but the booking page specifically points jail questions to the jail number.
Search West Feliciana Parish Inmates
The current custody path is simple but not keyword based. The LAVNS roster does not expose a typed last-name field, date picker, booking-number search, or advanced filter in the public HTML inspected. It works through the disclaimer, Show All, and A-Z filter links. The WFPSO Jail Bookings page should be checked first when the goal is to confirm a recent arrest, because the recent-booking list may show a new booking before a reader finds a current roster entry.
- Open the WFPSO Jail Bookings page and check the recent booking list for the person's name, date, age, location, and charge text.
- Use the page's current roster link to open the West Feliciana LAVNS jail roster.
- Accept the roster disclaimer, then select Show All or choose the first letter of the person's last name.
- If no row appears, call the jail at (225) 784-3158 and ask whether the person is in current custody, bonded out, transferred, or released.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use Louisiana VINELink or the DOC phone locator at (225) 383-4580.
The WFPSO Jail Bookings page is the official lead-in to recent bookings and the current roster link.
The page is important because it gives both the recent-booking list and the jail phone number used when the roster does not answer the custody question.
West Feliciana Parish Roster Filters
The LAVNS roster interface is a filter page, not a full search form. It displays the roster title, a disclaimer, an offender count field, a last-updated field, and LAVNS registration prompts. Its most useful controls are Show All and the A through Z row. That setup is different from many jail search portals, so a missing typed-name box is not a site error.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter | Link filter row | Optional | Show All, then A through Z for last-name initials. |
| # of offenders | Display | Not applicable | The count field was visible but blank during inspection. |
| Last updated | Display | Not applicable | Timestamp shown in Central Time. |
| LAVNS icon/register | Link or action | Optional | Used to register anonymously for custody-status changes. |
| I agree | Modal button | Required | Disclaimer acceptance is required before use. |
West Feliciana Parish Record Fields
No active clickable inmate profile was available during the research inspection, so a full West Feliciana Parish inmate profile field list could not be verified. The reliable field inventory comes from the WFPSO Jail Bookings text list and the LAVNS interface. The booking list does not show a mugshot, booking number, bond amount, court date, housing unit, arresting agency, warrant number, or release date in the inspected entries. For booking photos, use the records-focused details on the West Feliciana Parish jail mugshots page.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Date | Booking or arrest-list date on the WFPSO Jail Bookings page. |
| Name | Last name and first name, with some entries shown in uppercase. |
| Age | Age in years as shown on the booking list. |
| Address or location | Street block, town, or institutional location such as Louisiana State Penitentiary. |
| Charge text | Plain-language charges, with multiple charges separated in the entry. |
| Last updated | LAVNS roster timestamp for current roster status. |
West Feliciana Parish Custody Facilities
West Feliciana Parish has more than one correctional setting, and each one requires a different records expectation. The detention center is the local jail for booked adult male offenders, pretrial custody, parish sentences, and some DOC holds. The Transitional Work Program is a work-release style custody setting. Louisiana State Penitentiary is a state prison. A person may move from the jail to the state system after sentencing, which is why a local jail record can disappear while a DOC locator record later appears.

Jail, DOC, BOP, and ICE
The West Feliciana Parish jail roster is for local custody. It should not be used as the only search tool when the person may have been sentenced, transferred, federally detained, or held by immigration authorities. Louisiana DPS&C operates the state prison system and the parish contains Angola, so this distinction is more important here than in many parishes. Federal custody may involve the U.S. Marshals Middle District of Louisiana before BOP placement. ICE custody is separate from all of those systems.
| Custody | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Current parish jail custody | WFPSO Jail Bookings and LAVNS roster | Recent bookings and current local jail custody. |
| Sentenced state custody | Louisiana VINELink or DOC phone locator | Facility, release date if calculated, and limited status. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | BOP prison custody by number or name. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | ICE detainee location and status search. |
West Feliciana Parish Visitation Rules
Visitation details differ by facility. The local detention center uses City Tele Coin phone and video services, with the offender initiating contact if enough funds are available. WFPSO does not publish a full public visiting schedule for the detention center in the reviewed material, so call (225) 784-3158 before planning a visit. The TWP and Angola publish much more detailed schedules and entry rules.
| Facility | Visit Type / Schedule | Key Rules |
|---|---|---|
| West Feliciana Parish Detention Center | Video visitation through offender kiosk | Offender initiates; call for current kiosk procedures. |
| West Feliciana Parish Transitional Work Program | Sunday, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM | ID only; no bags, phones, food, weapons, or electronic devices. |
| Louisiana State Penitentiary | Saturday and Sunday, 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM | Approved visitors only; arrive before 2:00 PM for final bus. |
Mail, Phone, and Commissary
For the detention center, WFPSO says only letters may be mailed. Items and packages cannot be mailed, delivered, or brought directly to the detention center and must go through commissary. Letters are opened and inspected for contraband. Mail should be addressed to the offender by name at West Feliciana Parish Detention Center, P.O. Box 2727, St. Francisville, LA 70775. City Tele Coin handles phone and video accounts, and offenders must initiate calls.
CorrectPay handles detention center deposits, with a daily $300 deposit limit and a maximum account-balance threshold. Correct Commissary orders must be placed by Tuesday at 3:00 AM for Wednesday delivery. The TWP uses inmatefinancial.com, an app, or 1-855-700-0077 for funds. State prison money for Angola uses DOC channels such as JPay and approved package vendors, not the local jail commissary system.
Booking Intake in West Feliciana
Booking begins after an arrest or warrant service by WFPSO, St. Francisville area law enforcement, another agency, or a correctional-facility incident. The person is transported to the West Feliciana Parish Detention Center if the jail can legally and operationally hold that person. Females and juveniles are transferred elsewhere. The booking record may include identity details, charge text, age, address or location, and custody information. Fingerprints and booking photos are standard jail functions, but WFPSO did not publish a full step-by-step local intake protocol in the reviewed materials.
Bond and holds affect whether a person stays listed. A person may bond out, remain in custody, be transferred, or be released after serving time. A detainer is a request from another agency to hold or notify before release. A bench warrant is often tied to a court issue such as failure to appear. A fugitive warrant comes from another jurisdiction. For court-filed charges after booking, use the clerk's criminal records path described on the court records after jail arrest page.
West Feliciana Parish Records Requests
When the online tools do not answer the question, use the records chain. Start with the jail for current custody and recent booking questions at (225) 784-3158. The sheriff's office public address is 4785 Prosperity Street, St. Francisville, LA 70775, and the main number is (225) 635-3241. Local background checks are in person at the courthouse with a valid driver's license and cover West Feliciana Parish records only. For parish government records, the public-records request page posts a form, policy links, and business hours.
The West Feliciana Sheriff LA mobile app is a public-safety and tips channel, not a confirmed app-only inmate roster. The iOS listing and Google Play listing describe crime reporting, tip submission, interactive features, public-safety news, and information from WFPSO. Neither store description confirmed an inmate lookup, warrant search, or records-request feature that is available only inside the app.
Ask for a specific record, not "everything." Useful identifiers include full name, date of birth if known, booking date, charge, case number, and the requested item, such as a booking sheet, jail log, mugshot, or disposition record. Louisiana law allows copy fees and permits redaction or denial for juvenile records, ongoing investigations, victim information, medical details, security-sensitive records, expunged matters, and confidential DOC prison records.
