St. John Parish Prison Custody and Records Lookup

St. John Parish Prison / Sheriff's Office Intake and Records Overview

Louisiana DPS&C lists St. John Parish Prison at 1801 West Airline Highway, LaPlace, LA 70068, with phone (985) 652-9513, fax (985) 653-7418, and email p.hebert@stjohnsheriff.org. The same West Airline Highway address is also the main public address used by the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Mike Tregre. Because the inspected local custody pages route jail custody to Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility and the Zuercher inmate roster, the West Airline Highway listing functions as a sheriff, intake, prison contact, and records location rather than a separately documented public housing unit.

No separate public roster, capacity, visitation schedule, or housing description was found for this West Airline Highway entry. That distinction matters. St. John the Baptist Parish custody searches should still begin with the official sheriff roster and the Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility page. Records requests, general sheriff service questions, and public contact may route through the West Airline Highway office or the Sheriff's Office mailing address.

The DPS&C directory source for local jail and office listings is the Louisiana DPS&C St. John the Baptist Parish location page.

That directory is the source that keeps the West Airline Highway parish prison contact in the facility map while the sheriff's own custody tools point users back to the centralized jail roster.

St. John Parish Prison Capacity and Population

No separate capacity or current population count was found for St. John Parish Prison at 1801 West Airline Highway. The state and local sources inspected instead connect local custody to the Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility and to a combined state reporting line for St. John Correctional Center and Parish Prison. The sheriff's facility page gives a 300-bed figure for Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility, while a December 2021 Louisiana legislative corrections report listed the correctional center and parish prison together with 312 capacity.

The live sheriff roster returned 219 current records on June 16, 2026, but that count should be described as the current online roster count for the St. John jail system, not as a separate population figure for the West Airline Highway address. Avoid reading the DPS&C contact listing as proof of a separately searchable jail population.

How to Look Up an Inmate Connected to St. John Parish Prison

The correct public custody search is the St. John Parish Sheriff inmate roster. It is the same roster used for Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility and parish prison inmate searches. The roster covers current and recent St. John custody, including pretrial detainees, sentenced local inmates, state inmates held locally, and people held for another agency while they remain in the parish jail system.

1. Open the official sheriff inmate roster, not a private reposted custody list.
2. Search by name first, then narrow with race, sex, arrest date, or in-custody date when those facts are known.
3. Check the held-for agency and release-date fields to see whether the person is still physically in local custody.
4. Call (985) 652-9513 or the jail facility at (985) 359-8716 if the roster is unclear, recently changed, or missing a person believed to be in custody.

The public roster can show mugshot, name, race, sex, age, cell block, arrest date, held-for agency, release date, and hold reasons. Hold reasons may include charges, warrants, probation holds, fugitive warrants, bond labels, bond amounts, and judges where shown. Those details are custody records, not the final court record. Formal criminal case information must be checked through the Clerk of Court, 40th Judicial District Court, or District Attorney channels.

The official roster source is captured in the manifest at https://stjohn-so-la.zuercherportal.com/#/inmates.

This roster is the practical custody interface for both facility-map entries, even though the West Airline Highway listing is important for intake and records contact.

Records Request, LAVNS, DOC, BOP, ICE, and Sheriff App Channels

When custody information is not available through the roster, use the official fallback that fits the question. For records, the sheriff's public records page directs written requests to Sheriff Mike Tregre, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office, P.O. Box 1600, LaPlace, LA 70069, or records.request@stjohnsheriff.org. The sheriff page says criminal offense records are generally privileged until adjudicated and lists categories that can remain restricted, including investigative reports, juvenile information, victim-identifying information in sexual offenses, undercover officer information, security procedures, training information, investigative equipment instructions, and confidential sources.

The public records source is shown in the manifest as the sheriff records request page at https://stjohnsheriff.org/about-us/public-records/.

That source is the best match for booking records, incident reports, or older custody files that are not fully answered by the live roster.

For Louisiana state custody or notification, use Louisiana VINE. DPS&C says LAVNS is updated every 24 hours and can be searched by location, name, and ID or case number. For a phone lookup through DOC, call 225-383-4580 with the DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth. For sentenced federal prisoners, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. No separate BOP or ICE detention center was identified in St. John the Baptist Parish, so those systems are only for custody outside the parish jail or for detainer-related questions.

Sheriff Mike Tregre's office also promotes the St John Parish Sheriff Office app. The official page says it includes inmates, warrants, crime mapping, written, audio, photograph, and video tips, push notifications, alerts, messages, services, and support. It is a parallel mobile channel, not an emergency channel.

St. John Parish Prison Address and Contact

Use the West Airline Highway contact for sheriff, intake, parish prison, and records routing. Use the Deputy Barton Granier Drive facility number when the question is specifically about a person housed at Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility, visit eligibility, commissary, or custody status.

Visiting Someone Listed Through St. John Parish Prison

No separate visitation schedule, visit location, dress code, video-visit vendor, or visitor approval procedure was found for the West Airline Highway St. John Parish Prison listing. Because public custody information points to Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility, do not travel to the West Airline Highway office expecting a separate jail visit unless the Sheriff's Office instructs you to do so. Call first and ask where the person is physically housed and whether visits are available.

Mail, Phone, and Money for St. John Parish Custody

The documented commissary and inmate-money rules belong to the Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility jail system. The sheriff says money may be deposited at a 24-hour cash kiosk in the Intake Booking lobby, through Forecomm Solutions online with a credit or debit card, or by mailed money order. Kiosk and internet deposits require the inmate's CCN number. Mailed money orders must include the inmate's correct incarcerated name and CCN number.

The official source for inmate money is the sheriff's inmate money and commissary page.

That source supports deposit methods for the St. John jail system, but it does not create a separate commissary program for the West Airline Highway contact listing.

Do not send cash through the mail. Cash can only be received through the kiosk identified by the sheriff. If the person has been transferred to DOC custody, federal custody, another parish, or immigration custody, confirm the correct deposit channel before sending funds.

Booking, Intake, and Records at the West Airline Highway Contact

Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228 requires booking after arrest and describes a jail or police book entry with the person's name and address, property taken, date and time of booking, and booking information summary. In St. John the Baptist Parish, public information shows a sheriff jail and intake system with records and contact routing tied to the Sheriff's Office. A newly arrested person may appear in the Zuercher roster, the sheriff arrest report feed, or both, but those are different records with different purposes.

For records outside the current roster, requesters should provide enough detail for the Sheriff's Office to identify the file: full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, charge, agency, file number, court case number, or other relevant identifiers. The sheriff's records page says the Criminal Records Division keeps a records release ledger for public releases that may include the requester's full name, address, date of birth, driver's license number, file number, report type or signal, and pages released.

About St. John Parish Prison / Sheriff's Office Intake and Records

This facility-map entry exists because state and local sources use more than one St. John jail or sheriff contact label. The local custody system centers on Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility at 100 Deputy Barton Granier Drive, while the West Airline Highway address functions as the broader Sheriff's Office and parish prison contact. Natural Louisiana parish naming is important here: the agency is St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office, not a county sheriff's office.

The distinction also helps families choose the right lookup path. Use the roster for current custody. Use the jail phone line for immediate facility questions. Use public records for older records or documents not visible online. Use LAVNS or Louisiana DPS&C when a person has moved into state custody or probation and parole supervision. Use BOP or ICE only when the custody is federal or immigration related.
