Concordia Facility Overview
The Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office corrections page lists Concordia Parish Correctional Facility at 26356 Highway 15 in Ferriday. The sheriff page names Warden Christopher Groh and gives the main facility phone and fax. Louisiana DPS&C's Concordia Parish directory also lists this facility, which confirms that it is part of the state-local custody map rather than a stand-alone private lookup site or a municipal holding cell.
The facility has a broader role than the courthouse jail in Vidalia. The research file identifies it as a medium-security local correctional facility used for male DOC local-jail population, male transitional work program participants, and other local, federal, or outside-agency holds when assigned. That is why a search for someone held at Concordia Parish Correctional Facility may require both the county roster and state custody channels.
The DPS&C and legislative corrections report dated December 1, 2021, listed "Concordia Parish Correctional Facility and TWP" with 530 operational capacity. On the report date, the row showed 371 DOC males, 16 male TWP participants, and 387 total DOC/TWP population. Those figures are official but dated. They should be used as a historical capacity and population snapshot, not a live count.
Concordia Facility Population
Concordia Parish Correctional Facility is one of the key reasons the parish detention footprint is larger than the courthouse jail alone. The 2021 DPS&C/JLCB report put the facility and TWP row at 530 operational beds, compared with 48 at Concordia Parish Jail. It also showed a large state-sentenced local jail population. The "DOC local jail population" label means people can be in state correctional custody while physically housed in a local Concordia Parish facility.
| Category | Figure | Source Note |
|---|---|---|
| Operational capacity | 530 | DPS&C/JLCB report dated 12/1/2021 |
| DOC male count | 371 | Same report |
| Male TWP count | 16 | Same report |
| Total DOC/TWP shown | 387 | Same report |
Concordia Facility Roster Search
Start with the official Concordia Parish LA VINE roster for current parish custody. LCLE says LA VINE Rosters list incarcerated offenders with DOB, gender, and race and are built from each jail's jail-management-system feed. Because this facility houses state-sentenced local jail population as well as local custody, the parish roster may not be the only source. Louisiana VINELink and the DPS&C imprisoned-person information route are the fallback for sentenced people in state custody.
DPS&C says callers may use 225-383-4580 to connect to the imprisoned-person locator and should have either the DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth. If the person is missing from the parish roster but is believed to be assigned to Concordia Parish Correctional Facility, call the facility at (318) 757-1865. The phone route is also useful when the name is common, the arrest is recent, or a transfer from the courthouse jail may have occurred.
- Search the Concordia LA VINE roster for current local jail custody.
- Check Louisiana VINELink when the person may be sentenced or assigned through DPS&C.
- Call CPCF at (318) 757-1865 to confirm housing before scheduling a visit or sending money.
- Use BOP or ICE locators only when the hold is federal or immigration related.
The image manifest includes the sheriff corrections page that lists the Ferriday facility, the courthouse jail, and the women's facility. The source is the official Concordia Parish corrections page.
That facility list is the strongest local source for separating the Ferriday facility from the Vidalia courthouse jail and the female facility.
Concordia Facility Contact
The Ferriday facility contact should be used for housing, facility-specific custody, attorney meeting, deposit, and visit questions involving people assigned there. The sheriff corrections page lists the address, phone, fax, and warden. Because no full public lobby schedule was found in the official static pages, callers should confirm the current public counter process before traveling.

Concordia Facility Visits
The sheriff jail information page says in-person visitation has been suspended until further notice at Concordia Parish Jail, Concordia Parish Correctional Facility, and the women's facility. That means a visitor should not rely on old schedules or third-party listings. Attorney visits and Zoom meetings are handled by appointment. The published attorney scheduling rule requires at least 24 hours of notice and lists the appointment window as 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
| Visit or Meeting | Published Status | Contact Route |
|---|---|---|
| Public in-person visitation | Suspended until further notice | Call CPCF before travel |
| Attorney in-person meeting | By appointment | 318-414-0231, 24 hours ahead |
| Attorney Zoom meeting | By appointment | 318-414-0231, 8:00 AM-3:30 PM appointment window |
Note: Confirm the person is assigned to CPCF before any visit, deposit, or attorney scheduling step.
Concordia Facility Money
The sheriff publishes CPCF as the facility code for account funding. Deposits may be made online through deposits.jailATM.com, through inmatefinancial.com, by the lobby kiosk, or by the phone payment line. The lobby kiosk is listed for cash or credit cards Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The phone payment line is 855-700-0077 for credit and debit cards. The sheriff's homepage also connects JailATM with video calls or deposits.
CPSO does not accept property for inmates. The research did not locate official Concordia mail rules, phone rates, commissary fees, tablet rules, or item limits. Do not import those rules from another parish. Use the facility phone before mailing documents, sending packages, or trying to leave property at the lobby.

Concordia Facility Custody Types
Concordia Parish Correctional Facility sits at the meeting point of local jail custody and state-local custody. A pretrial detainee may be held because a Concordia Parish case is pending. A sentenced person may be in local housing under DPS&C authority. A TWP participant may be part of a work-release or reentry program. A federal or other-agency hold may require a separate locator or agency contact. The label on the roster, court record, or VINELink result should be checked before making release assumptions.
| Custody Type | Best Lookup Path | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Parish pretrial or local hold | Concordia LA VINE roster and facility phone | Booking data may change as court filings begin |
| DPS&C local jail population | Louisiana VINELink or DPS&C phone locator | The person may be sentenced but housed locally |
| Male TWP participant | DPS&C/VINE plus facility confirmation | Program status affects movement and contact rules |
| Federal or ICE hold | BOP or ICE locator when applicable | Parish bond may not resolve the hold |
For general roster fields, status notes, and fallback locators, the Concordia Parish inmate records page keeps the current-custody search paths together.
