Rapides Parish Jail Roster
The official inmate lookup is the Rapides Parish Inmate Inquiry, a New World/Tyler Technologies portal linked through the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office app structure. It displays a clear presumption-of-innocence notice: all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or administrative action. The roster is built for jail custody and booking research, not for proving a final criminal outcome.
Results can show current custody status, race, gender, subject number, name, and housing facility. A name result links to an inmate detail profile when one is available. The inspected sample did not show a mugshot, court date, or warrant number, so those fields should not be promised. For the full criminal case after charges are filed, use the district court and clerk channels described in the Rapides Parish criminal court records material.
The official sheriff app source for Detention Center I identifies the downtown intake facility and its role in local custody.
Detention Center I is often the first local point for booking, bond questions, and intake information after an arrest.
Use the Rapides Parish Roster
The roster supports broad and narrow searches. A user can search by name, subject number, booking number, custody status, booking date range, and housing facility. Because none of the fields is documented as required, a partial name search can be a practical first step. Narrowing by booking dates or housing facility can reduce false matches when a common name appears.
- Open the Rapides Parish Inmate Inquiry from the official sheriff app or the direct roster URL.
- Enter a name, subject number, or booking number if known. Leave extra fields blank when starting broad.
- Use the In Custody checkbox when the search should show only people currently jailed.
- Add booking date limits if the arrest or transfer date is known.
- Review the result row for name, subject number, custody status, race, gender, and housing facility.
- Open the linked inmate profile to review booking history, bond, housing, and charge tables.
Note: A booking charge is an accusation or custody entry, not a final conviction or full court disposition.
Rapides Parish Inmate Search Fields
The roster's visible fields make it more useful than a simple name list. Subject number and booking number searches help when an official paper or jail contact gives those identifiers. Booking date filters help find a recent arrest. The Housing Facility dropdown can separate Rapides Parish Detention Center, Rapides Parish Detention Center 1, and the Transitional Work Release Facility when the portal has that data for the person.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | No | Searches inmate name and can be used for broad lookup. |
| Subject Number | Text | No | Numeric subject number shown in result rows and profiles. |
| Booking Number | Text | No | Booking number such as the sample format 2026-00001218. |
| In Custody | Checkbox | No | Value True; title states currently jailed only. |
| Booking From Date | Date text | No | Default at inspection was 06/26/2026. |
| Booking To Date | Date text | No | Default at inspection was 06/29/2026. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown | No | Blank, Rapides Parish Detention Center, Detention Center 1, or Transitional Work Release Facility. |
Rapides Parish Inmate Profile
A profile gives more context than the result row, but it still remains a jail record. The inspected public profile header read Inmate Detail and displayed the person's name. The page included demographic fields, booking history, booking data, bond table, and charge table. The bond table can state no data. The charge table can list a charge description, offense date, attempt or commit value, and bond per charge.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and subject number | Identifies the person in the jail system and links result rows to a profile. |
| Age, gender, race, address | Basic demographic details visible in the inspected profile. |
| Booking number | Identifier for a specific booking event or booking block. |
| Booking and release dates | Shows intake and release information when available. |
| Prisoner type and housing facility | Shows custody classification and assigned facility information. |
| Total bond amount | Displays overall bond information if the record has it. |
| Charge table | Lists number, charge description, offense date, attempt or commit, and bond. |
Rapides Parish Jail Facilities
Rapides Parish detention information is split across several official app pages and contact modules. Detention Center I is a downtown intake facility that houses about 330 pre-trial offenders, parish prisoners, DOC offenders, and people serving time for municipalities. Detention Center II houses 200 offenders who provide contract labor for public agencies. Detention Center III houses about 381 sentenced offenders. The Transitional Work Program has separate contacts and a visitation phone number.

The official contact module for Detention Center I contacts lists wardens, the administrative assistant, the booking desk, and the mailing address.
Use the booking desk for custody and bond routing questions, then use the court record if the question is about a case outcome.
Rapides Parish Inmate Visitation
Visitation depends on the facility, so families should match the housing location from the inmate profile with the correct schedule. Detention Center I uses a Saturday schedule. Detention Center II uses the second and fourth weekend of each month. Detention Center III uses the first and third weekend of each month and has a child-visit rule. Special visits, child visits, and pastoral visits at Detention Center I require Warden office preapproval.
| Facility | Visitation Schedule | Special Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Detention Center I | Saturdays 8:00 AM-11:30 AM or 12:00 PM-3:30 PM | Special, child, and pastoral visits need Warden office preapproval. |
| Detention Center II | 2nd and 4th weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 7:00 AM-3:30 PM | Offenders notify family members of visitation times and dates. |
| Detention Center III | 1st and 3rd weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 7:00 AM-3:30 PM | Child visits are the first Friday of each month. |
| Transitional Work Program | Call visitation contact 318-449-4360 | Full public schedule was not located in the inspected module. |
The Detention Center II page documents its 200-offender role and weekend visitation cycle.
Because Detention Center II offenders notify family of visit times, the roster housing field and direct facility contact both matter.
Rapides Parish Inmate Mail and Money
Mailing addresses differ by facility. Detention Center I uses 701 Murray Street, Suite 303, Alexandria, LA 71301. Detention Center II uses Rapides Parish Detention Center II, 400 B John Allison Dr., Alexandria, LA 71303. Detention Center III uses Rapides Parish Detention Center III, 7400 Academy Drive, Alexandria, LA 71303. Detailed content restrictions, photo limits, and scanned-mail rules were not located in the inspected official modules, so facility confirmation is needed before sending mail.
Money rules also differ. Detention Center I accepts money orders by mail or on visitation days. Detention Center III no longer accepts money orders and uses a facility kiosk or online deposits through CorrectPay. The TouchPay page states that online or phone deposits can be made by registering or logging in, accepts Visa, MasterCard credit or debit cards, and PayPal, and posts transactions at all times. Phone deposits use 1-866-232-1899 with Facility #271309. TouchPay customer service is 866-204-1603.
The official Detention Center III page identifies the facility for sentenced offenders and explains the no-money-order rule.
That distinction prevents a common mistake: sending a money order to a facility that no longer accepts it.
Rapides Parish Jail Records Contacts
RPSO Jail Records maintains jail records, DOC classification and billing, parish probation, DWI probation, and parish-time calculations. The research lists Jail Records at 318-449-5453, DOC Classification & Billing at 318-449-5452, Parish Probation at 318-449-5451, DWI Probation at 318-473-6734, and Calculating Parish Time at 318-449-5453. Captain Erika Brown is listed as the contact at 318-473-6735 and ebrown@rpso.la.gov.
The Detention Center II contact module gives the facility contact channel for its wardens and mailing address.
Facility contacts are best for housing, visitation, and mail questions, while Jail Records handles classification, probation, and time calculations.
The Detention Center III contact module lists Warden Ronald Goudeau, Assistant Warden Chris Winegeart, and Administrative Assistant Polly Brandly.
For sentenced offenders at Detention Center III, those contacts pair with the roster and money-deposit rules for practical custody questions.
Rapides Parish Inmate App Records
The sheriff app is more than a mobile wrapper. Its public manifest identifies the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office, LA app, Apple app-id 6745618095, and Google Play app-id com.ocv.a1396. The app modules include Inmate Search, Recent Arrests, Most Wanted, Sex Offender Registry, Jail Records, Bonds & Fines, Commissary, Detention Center pages, Criminal Records, Civil, Crime Stoppers, Payments, Sheriff Sales, R.A.D.E., News & Press Releases, and Scam Alerts. The direct roster webview is one of the high-value features exposed through that app structure.
Those app modules also explain why a Rapides Parish inmate search may branch into several records. Recent Arrests and News & Press Releases can describe an arrest, charges, bond, and investigative status. Jail Records can handle DOC classification and billing, parish probation, DWI probation, and parish-time calculations. Bonds & Fines can answer payment questions for certain tickets, fines, and bonds. Criminal Records handles written public-records requests for incident reports, traffic reports, local background checks, fingerprints, and body or vehicle camera records. Each module serves a narrow purpose, so a custody question should not be forced through the court clerk if it belongs to the sheriff, and a final case outcome should not be inferred from a roster entry.
An inmate record should be read with limits in mind. A jail record may show booking and charge data before the prosecutor files a bill of information, before a judge rules, or before a case is dismissed. A person can have a booking record without a final conviction. A person can also move from local custody to state custody, release, or another jurisdiction. For warrant-related booking status, use the roster with the Rapides Parish warrant records channels and confirm with the issuing agency.
When the question is time-sensitive, the safest sequence is to search the roster, save the booking number or subject number, and then call the correct facility or Jail Records contact. If the inmate profile shows a housing facility, use that facility first for visitation, mail, property, or money questions. If the question is about parish time, DWI probation, DOC classification, or billing, the Jail Records numbers are more precise. If the question is about bond after intake at Detention Center I, the booking desk or on-duty supervisor number is the practical route listed in the official jail material.
