Search Red River Parish Jail Inmates

Red River Parish Jail Overview

Red River Parish Jail is operated by the Red River Parish Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff corrections page uses the name Red River Parish Jail, while Tiger Commissary labels the same local facility as Red River Parish Detention Center for deposits and commissary orders. Both references point to the adult parish jail in Coushatta. The jail is the only adult detention facility identified inside Red River Parish for this build, and no separate adult state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or regional adult jail was found in the parish research.

The Red River Parish Jail roster shows more than one custody type. The sheriff-linked roster PDF includes local pretrial detainees, presentence inmates, parish-sentenced inmates, Louisiana DOC-sentenced inmates still housed locally, DOC/parole detainers, probation holds, and other-agency detainers. That mix matters because a person may be in the parish jail even after a state sentence, and a later transfer can move the lookup from the local roster to Louisiana VINE or the DPS&C telephone locator.

The sheriff corrections page is the best starting point for local Red River Parish Jail custody because it links the current roster PDF, LAVNS/VINE, commissary, phone vendor, visitation rules, property rules, and approved bond persons. It also makes clear that bond values in the roster can lag, so the practical Red River Parish Jail lookup is roster first, phone verification second.

The sheriff corrections page shows the local jail services and roster links at their source. The image below is from the official Red River Parish Sheriff's Office corrections page.

Those links are useful because Red River Parish Jail does not publish one full public profile system with every booking field in one place.

Red River Parish Jail Population

Capacity and population figures for Red River Parish Jail are not posted as a live sheriff dashboard. The most detailed source in the research is the 2024 Incarceration Transparency public-records memo for Red River Parish Jail. That memo reports a rated capacity of 198 and an emergency maximum of 237. It also reports a 2021 average daily population of 46 and 372 admissions for that year. Because those figures come from a public-records compilation, they should be treated as sourced historical jail data, not as a current sheriff-published head count.

Other population sources help frame Red River Parish Jail as a small parish facility with changing daily numbers. Prisoners of the Census lists a 2020 correctional population of 49 for Red River Parish Jail. The Incarceration Transparency memo reports a November 2022 roster snapshot of 42 people, with 40 male and 2 female inmates and race counts of 24 Black and 18 White. The sheriff-linked June 10, 2026 PDF roster had about 41 rows by research-time count, while LAVNS showed a different live count days later. Daily roster totals can move quickly.

Red River Parish Jail Roster Lookup

Use local Red River Parish Jail channels for people in current parish custody. The main channels are the sheriff corrections page roster PDF, the Red River LAVNS/VINE roster, and the NetData Red River inmate listing. The PDF is a compact roster with status, name, race, gender, intake date, and notes. LAVNS/VINE is more useful for custody notifications and identity confirmation. NetData is a date and name search form that can help when the PDF is hard to scan.

1. Open the sheriff corrections page and check the current inmate roster PDF.
2. Scan the roster by name, status, intake date, and notes, then treat bond lines as provisional.
3. Use Red River LAVNS/VINE for roster display and notification registration when available.
4. Use the NetData Red River inmate listing by book-in date or starting inmate name.
5. Call (318) 932-4221 or (318) 932-5753 when identity, bond, hold, or release information must be current.

The NetData listing is one of the practical search tools for Red River Parish Jail because it lets a user set a beginning date, ending date, or starting inmate name. The image below comes from the NetData Red River inmate listing search form.

That form complements the roster PDF because it gives a search path when a static PDF table is not enough.

Red River Parish Jail Contact

The Red River Parish Jail contact details vary slightly by source because DPS&C uses East Carroll Drive, while the sheriff and Louisiana Sheriffs' Association use East Carroll Street. The research treats these as the same East Carroll courthouse and sheriff complex in Coushatta. Public office hours from the sheriff contact page are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for office functions. The research did not locate a separate public booking lobby schedule, so do not assume intake or release hours from office hours.

Red River Parish Jail Visitation

Red River Parish Jail visitation is not published as a generic daily or weekly window. The sheriff's corrections page lists specific 2026 visitation dates from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Visitors must be at least 16, must be on the approved visitors list, must present photo ID, and must wear appropriate clothing. Visitors also check in with courthouse security, wait outside until called, and are subject to search when entering. Personal items are not allowed in the visitation room.

A local rule deserves special attention: visitors must have at least 180 days out of incarceration from any facility. That rule can affect family members or friends who were recently in custody elsewhere. Confirm the approved visitor list and entry process with Red River Parish Jail before traveling, especially because the sheriff places jail visitation within the courthouse security flow at the East Carroll complex.

Red River Parish Jail Mail and Money

The sheriff's property rules allow personal and legal letters with no stated limit. Package rules are much narrower. An inmate may request one care package from family or friends during the first 30 days of incarceration, and another package is not allowed until status changes from pretrial to parish or DOC sentenced. Approved packages must be ordered by family or friends and shipped directly from retailers such as Amazon or Walmart. Packages sent from a residential address are not permitted.

Approved care-package examples include hygiene items, underwear, socks, sweat suits, T-shirts, gym shorts, and footwear, but the sheriff's rules include color, pocket, and drawstring restrictions. Unapproved items are removed, and the inmate has seven days to arrange pickup before disposal. Clothing that is not allowed in jail must be picked up or mailed to family within 90 days of intake, with postage paid by the inmate or family.

Tiger Commissary is the official vendor page found for Red River Parish Detention Center services. The image below is from the Tiger Commissary Red River Parish facility page.

The vendor page matters because wrong-inmate selections may not be refundable, credited, or transferred under the vendor warning described in the research.

Red River Parish Jail Phone Accounts

Red River Parish Sheriff's Office links City Tele Coin for inmate phone services. The sheriff's page says users can manage accounts online or call City Tele Coin at (318) 746-1114 to buy service over the phone. City Tele Coin's platform includes phone accounts, calling cards, video calling, contacts, messaging, and tablet time. Account setup and vendor rules are separate from sheriff custody records, so payment questions should go to the vendor while custody, bond, or release questions should go to the jail or sheriff.

The image below is from City Tele Coin, the communications vendor linked by the sheriff for Red River Parish Jail phone services.

Phone accounts can support contact with someone in custody, but they do not confirm whether a person is eligible for release or has an active hold.

Red River Parish Jail Bond

Bond information for Red River Parish Jail appears in the roster PDF notes, but the PDF warns users to call (318) 932-4221 to verify bond amounts. It also says bond updates can take up to four weeks to appear there. That is a major local detail. A listed amount may be stale, and a probation hold, parole hold, DOC detainer, outside-agency detainer, or no-bond order can block release even when another line suggests a dollar bond.

The sheriff-linked approved bond persons PDF was marked as of April 1, 2026. It listed bond person, company, phone number, and valid-through date fields. Companies on the inspected list included Express Bail Bonds, Beasley Bail Bonds, Fast AF Bail Bonds, Bail-Ey Bonds, Eagle Bail Bonds, Cooper Bail Bonds, One Call Bail Bonds, Set Free Bail Bonds, Larry Benjamin Bail Bonds, and J&L Bail Bonds. Use the sheriff's current PDF before choosing a bond person because valid-through dates can expire.

1. Find the person on the Red River Parish Jail roster or LAVNS/VINE roster.
2. Read the status and notes, including any no-bond, parole, probation, DOC, or detainer language.
3. Call (318) 932-4221 to verify current bond and hold status before paying money.
4. Check the sheriff's approved bond persons PDF and confirm the agent's valid-through date.
5. For filed charges or court status, use ClerkNet or contact the Clerk of Court because the jail roster is not the court case record.

Red River Parish Jail Public Records

Louisiana Public Records Law is the fallback path when Red River Parish Jail information is not online. La. R.S. 44:1 defines public records broadly. La. R.S. 44:31 gives adults the right to inspect and copy public records unless an exemption applies. La. R.S. 44:32 sets request procedures and allows reasonable copy fees. La. R.S. 44:3 is important for jail and law-enforcement records because it protects some pending criminal investigative material while recognizing categories such as initial reports, booking records, summons or citation records, and bills of information as public subject to statutory limits.

For a Red River Parish Jail booking record, use the sheriff's contact route because no dedicated sheriff public-records form was found. A practical request should name the person, date of birth if known, arrest or booking date, requested record type, and preferred delivery method. Booking photos are not posted in the sheriff roster PDF, and no official Red River mugshot gallery was found. If a booking photograph is needed, request it from the sheriff rather than relying on third-party mugshot sites.

Booking

Jail intake after arrest, including identity, property, screening, and record entry.

Detainer

A hold requested by another agency that can affect release.

Presentence

A status after plea or verdict but before final sentence or classification.

DOC sentenced

Committed to Louisiana state custody, even if still housed in a parish jail.

Red River Parish Jail Conditions

The sheriff site does not publish a detailed local program list for GED, vocational training, substance-abuse treatment, religious services, grievance procedures, or reentry services. It does publish family contact and custody support rules for visits, letters, legal letters, property, care packages, commissary, and phone use. Louisiana Minimum Jail Standards provide the broader conditions framework for local jail operations, including inmate records, housing, meals, hygiene, medical access, court access, visiting, and mail.

Conditions and transparency material in the research also includes death-in-custody reporting. LCLE's Death in Custody Reporting Act page explains that reportable deaths include people detained, under arrest, en route to incarceration, or incarcerated in local jails, state prisons, contract facilities, and juvenile facilities. The Incarceration Transparency memo reported one 2021 Red River Parish Jail death record. That source should be read as public-records transparency material, not as a current operational page maintained by the sheriff.

Louisiana DPS&C also lists Red River Parish Jail as a local jail location. The image below is from the DPS&C Red River Parish local jail listing.

That state listing helps confirm the jail address, local sheriff contact, and Red River Parish's role as a local jail site rather than a state prison.
