Search Concordia Parish Inmate Population

Concordia Parish Inmate Population Overview

The Concordia Parish inmate population is not housed in one simple jail building. The sheriff's corrections page identifies the courthouse jail at 4001 Carter Street in Vidalia, Concordia Parish Correctional Facility on Highway 15 in Ferriday, and Concordia Parish Correctional Facility II on Highway 84 in Vidalia. Louisiana DPS&C also lists the female Transitional Work Program and River Correctional Center in the parish location directory. That local footprint matters for families because a new arrest, a state-sentenced person, a female work-release participant, and an ICE detainee may all be in Concordia Parish while appearing in different lookup systems.

For current local jail custody, the official roster path is the Concordia LA VINE/LAVNS roster. For people serving DPS&C time in local facilities or state prison, Louisiana VINE and the DPS&C locator phone path are the better fit. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through the Bureau of Prisons, and immigration detainees at River Correctional Center are searched through ICE. The sheriff's main phone line and the correctional facility line remain important because a person may be booked, moved, or held under a name spelling that is not easy to match online.

Concordia Parish Jail Population Figures

The best located Concordia-specific population source is the DPS&C and Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget corrections report dated December 1, 2021, reporting correctional services as of November 26, 2021. It is dated, but it gives facility-level figures instead of statewide averages. The same research found no current 2026 Concordia average daily population, no annual booking count, and no average length of stay from the sheriff or DPS&C public pages. Published numbers should therefore be read as official historical capacity and custody figures, not a live count.

Concordia Parish Inmate Population Trends

Concordia's accessible local trend data is thin. The official research found a detailed 2021 facility snapshot, while the DPS&C January 2026 briefing book supplies statewide custody context through December 31, 2025. That statewide book reports 14,737 people in state facilities, 14,924 in local facilities, 500 in contract transitional work programs, and 30,161 total custody statewide. It does not give a current Concordia row in the accessible text. That gap is important because Concordia relies on local facilities and work programs that can hold state-sentenced people as well as local detainees.

Who Makes Up Concordia Parish Custody

The 2021 facility rows show that Concordia custody has several distinct groups. The courthouse jail is the short-term parish jail contact point. CPCF holds a large male DOC and transitional work population, while CPCF II and the female Transitional Work Program account for women in DOC and TWP custody. River Correctional Center is different: it is tied to ICE and contract detention, and it is not the ordinary parish roster path for a local arrest. The research did not locate Concordia-specific race, age, or pretrial percentage tables, so those details should not be guessed.

• Local jail detainees: people booked on parish arrests, local holds, and short-term custody matters.
• DOC local jail population: state-sentenced people held in local facilities or transitional work programs.
• Female TWP participants: eligible sentenced women assigned to reentry or work-release programming.
• ICE detainees: immigration custody at River Correctional Center, searched through ICE rather than the parish roster.

Concordia Parish Inmate Record Laws

Louisiana law shapes what can be seen, requested, and withheld. R.S. 44:1 defines public records broadly for records used, possessed, or retained for public business, subject to exceptions. R.S. 44:32 requires custodians to permit adult requesters to examine public records during regular working hours and to provide copies subject to lawful fees and exceptions. Those laws support written requests for public jail, sheriff, and court records when an online roster does not answer the question.

Booking photos are treated separately. Code of Criminal Procedure art. 234, as amended by Act 281 of 2024, restricts release of booking photographs unless an exception applies. Louisiana Minimum Jail Standards also matter for intake, classification, and inmate safety. The standards require intake procedures, medical authorization for certain serious conditions before booking, property receipts, separation from the population during intake, and classification within a set intake window. These rules help explain the path from arrest to roster entry, but they do not make every field or photo public.

Search Concordia Parish Jail Roster

The official local online roster channel is Concordia LA VINE/LAVNS. LCLE's LA VINE Rosters page identifies Concordia's roster URL and states that LA VINE rosters use offender data from each jail's management-system feed. LCLE says the roster sites provide a live roster updated every 30 minutes and list offenders in custody with DOB, gender, and race. The page could not be fully inspected in static research because the JavaScript roster did not expose all fields, so the safe use is current-custody lookup plus phone confirmation for recent bookings, misspellings, facility moves, and details not shown online.

The Concordia sheriff corrections page is useful when the roster does not say which building to call. It lists the courthouse jail, CPCF, and CPCF II with addresses and phone numbers. The sheriff jail information page adds local rules for visits, attorney meetings, deposits, property, and bonds. For a deeper roster walkthrough, the Concordia Parish jail inmate records page focuses on current and past custody records.

1. Open the official Concordia LA VINE/LAVNS roster for current parish custody.
2. Search with the person's full name, then try spelling variants if the result is missing.
3. Compare DOB, gender, race, and custody status before assuming a match.
4. Call the jail or correctional facility if the arrest is recent or the person may have moved.
5. Use Louisiana VINE, BOP, or ICE when the person is sentenced, federal, or in immigration custody.

Concordia Parish Roster Fields

The Concordia roster search form was not fully extractable in static research, but LCLE describes what LA VINE Rosters publish. Treat the roster as a current custody and notification channel, not a complete court file. If charges, bond, housing, or a booking photo are missing, that absence does not prove the information does not exist. It may require a phone call, a clerk search, or a public-records request to the sheriff's custodian.

When Concordia Parish Search Fails

A missing roster result is common in a multi-site system. A person may be newly booked and not yet reflected in the roster feed. The name may be spelled differently than expected. The person may be in CPCF, CPCF II, the female work program, state custody, federal custody, or ICE detention. A past booking may also fall outside the live roster. Louisiana public-records law is the fallback for many non-online jail records, but no Concordia-specific public-records form was found on the sheriff's site during research.

Concordia Parish State and Federal Search

Louisiana DPS&C does not list a state prison in Concordia Parish like Angola or Dixon. Concordia's state-custody connection is local jail and transitional work-program beds. DPS&C's imprisoned-person information page points users to VINELink/VINE and says callers may use 225-383-4580 for the imprisoned-person locator if they have the DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth. That distinction is important when someone leaves pretrial jail custody and begins serving a sentence. The parish roster may no longer be the best record.

Federal and immigration searches are separate. BOP records are federal-only and generally cover 1982 to the present. ICE searches require either an A-number and country of birth, or exact biographical data such as name, country of birth, and date of birth. River Correctional Center should be treated as an ICE or contract detention facility for lookup purposes, not as a normal Concordia jail roster stop.

DPS&C

Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections, the state corrections agency.

DOC local jail population

State-sentenced people housed in local jails or work programs.

Detainer

A hold or request from another agency that can affect release.

ICE detainee

A person held in immigration detention, searched through ICE rather than the parish roster.

Concordia Parish Detention Facilities

Concordia Parish custody is spread between Vidalia and Ferriday. The facility name, operator, and custody type decide which office or locator should be used. A family asking for "the Concordia jail" may need Carter Street for a courthouse jail matter, Highway 15 for CPCF, Highway 84 for CPCF II or the female TWP, or ICE channels for River Correctional Center.

• Concordia Parish Jail holds pretrial parish arrestees, local holds, and limited local/DOC population at the Carter Street courthouse jail.
• Concordia Parish Correctional Facility is the large Ferriday facility tied to male DOC local-jail and transitional work-program custody.
• Concordia Parish Correctional Facility II is the Highway 84 women's facility and local correctional site in Vidalia.
• Concordia Parish Transitional Work Program (Females) serves eligible female sentenced people in work-release and reentry programming.
• River Correctional Center is the Ferriday ICE and contract detention facility, searched through ICE for immigration custody.

Concordia Parish Booking and Bond

Louisiana Minimum Jail Standards require written intake procedures, separation from the general inmate population during intake, property receipts, and classification within the intake window. Concordia adds local rules that matter to families. The sheriff's jail information page says CPSO does not accept property for inmates. It also gives a detailed property-bond sequence centered on the courthouse: the Assessor's Office in Room 3, the Clerk of Court in Room 5, and the Sheriff's Office in Room 7. Bond amount and permission to use a property bond must be confirmed through the jail before the process starts.

Money deposits and video-call arrangements are handled through JailATM or inmatefinancial.com, with facility code CPCF. The sheriff page also lists a lobby kiosk that accepts cash or credit cards Monday through Friday during published lobby hours, plus a pay-by-phone option for cards. No Concordia page located in the research published a general records counter schedule or a detailed inmate mail rule set, so callers should confirm facility-specific instructions before sending funds, mail, or bond papers.

Concordia Parish Mugshots and Court Records

The roster and the court record answer different questions. A roster entry points to custody status. A court record shows the formal case after prosecutors file or amend charges. The 7th Judicial District Attorney serves Concordia and Catahoula Parishes, and the Concordia Parish Clerk of Court is the local court-record route when eClerks/eVault access is limited or browser-gated. Booking-level charges can change when the district attorney files a bill of information, seeks an indictment, amends a charge, or declines to proceed.

Booking photos are more restricted than many jail records. Louisiana's 2024 booking-photo law limits agency release and publication unless an exception applies. The Concordia LA VINE roster should be checked first for any public photo shown in a live entry, but no static research source verified that photos appear for every person. The Concordia Parish jail mugshots page explains the booking-photo law, request options, and remove-for-pay site rule.

Concordia Parish Official Sources

The Concordia Parish Sheriff's corrections page is the source for the sheriff-operated jail addresses, wardens, and phone numbers.

That facility listing is why the Concordia Parish inmate population is best read as a multi-site system rather than one stand-alone jail.

The Louisiana VINE portal is the state-level path for custody search and status notification when local roster data is not enough.

VINE matters in Concordia because the local facilities can hold DPS&C people as well as parish detainees.

Concordia Parish Inmate Population FAQ

How large is the Concordia Parish inmate population? The best official facility-level source found is the DPS&C/JLCB report dated December 1, 2021. It lists 1,404 total operational capacity across Concordia rows and 508 DOC/TWP population shown. A current 2026 Concordia average daily population was not located.

Where is the official Concordia Parish jail roster? LCLE identifies the official Concordia roster at Concordia.LAVNS.org. Use it for current local custody, then call the jail when a new arrest, spelling issue, or facility transfer may affect the result.

Does the roster cover River Correctional Center? No. River Correctional Center is treated as an ICE or contract detention facility in the research. Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator or the facility information line for immigration custody.

Can a past Concordia booking be requested? If the live roster no longer shows the person, use a written public-records request to the sheriff's custodian under Louisiana public-records law. The research did not locate a Concordia-specific online request form.
