Concordia Parish Jail Overview

Concordia Parish Jail is listed by the sheriff and Louisiana DPS&C at the courthouse complex in Vidalia. The official sheriff corrections page identifies the courthouse jail as the Concordia Parish Sheriff's Department Jail, while the DPS&C parish directory lists the same location as Concordia Parish Jail. It is operated through the Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff David K. Hedrick Jr., and it functions as the main public-facing jail contact for local jail questions, bond steps, and initial custody checks.

The jail should not be treated as the only detention location in Concordia Parish. The sheriff also lists the larger Concordia Parish Correctional Facility in Ferriday and Concordia Parish Correctional Facility II in Vidalia. DPS&C also lists River Correctional Center locally. A family member may hear "Concordia jail" and still need to confirm whether the person is at the courthouse jail, CPCF, CPCF II, the female transitional work program, or an ICE contract facility.

The best official capacity source located is the DPS&C and Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget report dated December 1, 2021, reporting correction services as of November 26, 2021. That report listed Concordia Parish Jail with an operational capacity of 48 and 4 people physically present on that report date. Those are dated official figures. They are useful for scale, but they are not a current head count.

Concordia Parish Jail Capacity

The courthouse jail is small compared with the parish's larger Ferriday and Highway 84 facilities. The 2021 DPS&C legislative report listed 48 operational beds for Concordia Parish Jail, while the larger CPCF row showed 530 and the women's facility/TWP row showed 224. That split matters for inmate lookup because the courthouse jail may be the first phone number a family calls, but a person may be housed in a different Concordia Parish facility after intake, classification, or transfer.

Concordia Parish Jail Lookup

The official online route for current parish custody is the Concordia Parish LA VINE roster. The Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement says LA VINE Rosters use jail-management-system data feeds and provide live rosters updated every 30 minutes. For the Concordia Parish Jail inmate roster, the safe use is current custody lookup. Do not assume the public roster proves a release, an old booking, a full charge history, or a final court outcome.

If the roster does not show the person, call the courthouse jail at (318) 336-5231 or the correctional facility line at (318) 757-1865. Phone confirmation is important when a person has just been arrested, when a name spelling is uncertain, or when the person may be housed at the Ferriday facility rather than the courthouse jail. For sentenced state custody, use Louisiana VINELink or the DPS&C locator phone route. For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.

1. Open the Concordia Parish LA VINE roster and search for the person by the available roster controls.
2. Compare the name, date of birth, gender, and race with known identity details before relying on a result.
3. Call the jail if the arrest is recent, the person is missing, or the listed facility is unclear.
4. Use Louisiana VINE, BOP, or ICE locators if the person may be sentenced, federal, or in immigration detention.

The sheriff's official jail information screenshot in the image manifest shows visitation, attorney scheduling, property, deposits, and bond notes. The source page is the sheriff's Jail Info page.

Those operational notes are especially useful when a roster search turns into a visit, attorney appointment, deposit, or bond question.

Concordia Parish Jail Contact

The jail contact point is tied to the same courthouse complex used in the local property-bond process. The Assessor, Clerk of Court, and Sheriff's Office rooms named in the sheriff's bond instructions are all at 4001 Carter Street, which makes the location important for both custody questions and release paperwork. Call before traveling because the official pages did not publish a general public records counter schedule, visitor parking rule, or separate visitor entrance map.

Concordia Parish Jail Visits

The sheriff's 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. No replacement public schedule was located in the official static pages. Attorney visits are different. Attorneys may schedule in-person or Zoom meetings at least 24 hours in advance, with appointments available from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM through the published scheduling number.

Note: Confirm custody and visit status by phone before leaving for the courthouse jail.

Concordia Parish Jail Money

The sheriff publishes several account-funding routes for Concordia Parish inmates. Online deposits can be made through JailATM, and the sheriff also names inmatefinancial.com as an alternate deposit path. The facility code published by the sheriff is CPCF. A lobby kiosk accepts cash or credit cards Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and a credit or debit card phone payment line is listed at 855-700-0077.

CPSO also states that it does not accept property for inmates. That point should be checked before bringing clothes, papers, or personal items to the jail. The research did not locate a full mail format, phone pricing table, visit dress code, or tablet rule on official Concordia pages, so call the jail before mailing anything that could be rejected.

Concordia Jail Booking Bond

Booking at the jail begins with identity, warrants, holds, charges, medical screening, and property inventory. Louisiana Minimum Jail Standards require written intake procedures, separation from the jail population during intake, and classification within 48 hours. A person who is unconscious, seriously injured, or violently disturbed should not be accepted for booking without written authorization from a licensed physician. These standards explain why a new arrest may not show on the public roster at the exact moment family members begin searching.

The Concordia property-bond process is unusually specific. The sheriff says to confirm the bond amount and permission to use a property bond first. The property assessment is obtained from the Assessor's Office in Room 3, the mortgage certificate from the Clerk of Court in Room 5, and the bond form is notarized at the Sheriff's Office in Room 7. All are in the courthouse complex. The sheriff warns that no combination of property and surety bonds is allowed, only one property can be used per bond, and out-of-parish property is not accepted.

Booking charge

The arrest or intake charge entered when the person is booked.

Detainer

A hold from another agency, such as another parish, probation, federal custody, or ICE.

Property bond

A release bond secured by eligible real property after the sheriff and clerk steps are complete.

Concordia Parish Jail Records

Louisiana public-records law supports requests for public jail and sheriff records, subject to exceptions. Research did not locate a Concordia-specific online public-records form for sheriff records. For a past booking, jail log, incident record, or item that the roster does not show, use a written request to the sheriff's records custodian at the Sheriff's Office, 4001 Carter Street, Room 7, Vidalia, LA 71373, or call (318) 336-5231 to confirm the current process, fees, and ID requirements.

Booking photos require extra care. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure art. 234, as amended in 2024, restricts release of booking photographs unless a listed exception applies. The Concordia roster may show public custody data described by LA VINE, but the research did not verify that every roster profile displays a mugshot. For formal charges after arrest, court records are separate from the jail record and run through the Clerk of Court, the 7th Judicial District Attorney, and the court file.

For a broader custody path, the Concordia Parish inmate records page explains roster, phone, records request, DPS&C, BOP, and ICE lookup channels together.
