Claiborne Parish Jail Roster
The official Claiborne Parish Sheriff's Office links to a roster titled "Claiborne Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster." The roster is a LAVNS-style custody view with a disclaimer gate, a "Show All" option, alphabet browsing from A through Z, a result-count label, and a last-updated timestamp. The inspected roster showed a last update of June 29, 2026 at 1:31:21 PM Central Time, but that timestamp is only a capture example, not a standing schedule.
The roster disclaimer matters. It says the agency provides the roster of incarcerated offenders for public and law-enforcement safety, that the information is not to be considered or used as a public or official document, and that copying or unauthorized use is forbidden without express written consent. For certified court records, filed charges, and final dispositions, use the Clerk or court case record instead of treating a roster entry as the final case result.
The official Claiborne Parish jail roster is the public custody interface assigned to this inmate records page.
The roster image shows the practical search pattern: accept the disclaimer, browse names, then confirm sensitive custody details with the detention center when needed.
Use the Claiborne Parish Roster
The local roster is built for current custody checks. It does not replace a criminal case search, a warrant check, or a Louisiana Department of Corrections search for sentenced people moved from parish custody. If a name does not appear, the person may have been released, transferred, booked under a different spelling, held elsewhere, or not in custody.
- Open the roster and accept the disclaimer by selecting "I agree."
- Use "Show All" to browse current entries or select an A-Z letter link if the name is known.
- Compare the visible agency name, roster title, result count, and last-updated field before relying on a result.
- Call the detention center or Patrol and Dispatch if a custody question is urgent or unclear.
- Use the Louisiana DOC offender locator or VINELink when the person may have moved outside local jail custody.
Claiborne Parish Inmate Search Fields
The visible jail roster shell did not show a typed name-search form during research. It showed a disclaimer button, a "Show All" control, alphabetic browse links, a result-count label, and a last-updated timestamp. Those are the confirmed public controls, so the roster should not be described as if booking-number or date-of-birth fields were verified.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| I agree | Button | Yes to proceed | Accepts the roster disclaimer modal. |
| Show All | Link or button | Optional | Displays all currently listed offenders. |
| A-Z alphabet links | Link or button | Optional | Filters or browses by first letter; links A through Z were visible. |
| # of offenders | Result count | Not applicable | Count label was shown, but the terminal capture did not render a count. |
| Last updated | Timestamp | Not applicable | Research captured one example timestamp from June 29, 2026. |
Claiborne Parish Inmate Fields
The research did not extract a full individual inmate profile. That limits what can be stated about mugshots, bond amounts, charge codes, court dates, housing units, or projected release dates. The confirmed fields are from the roster shell and disclaimer, not from a clicked sample profile.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Database name | Claiborne Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster / LAVNS. |
| URL inspected | The local roster address linked by the Sheriff's Office. |
| Agency header | The Sheriff's Office name and jail roster title. |
| Search controls | "Show All" and A-Z letter browsing. |
| Result count | A "# of offenders" label, with count not rendered in the terminal capture. |
| Refresh data | A last-updated timestamp field. |
| Disclaimer | Public-safety roster notice and limits on official-document use and republication. |
Note: A roster entry is not the same as a conviction, sentence, or final court disposition.
Claiborne Parish Detention Center
The Claiborne Parish Detention Center is the local jail facility documented in the Sheriff's research. The official facilities page says the center houses male offenders 17 years of age or older for Claiborne and surrounding parishes and the Louisiana Department of Corrections. It describes the jail as an open dormitory style facility. Warden Melanie Moss is named in the research. Official capacity was not located in the source material, so capacity should be treated as not published in the captured sources.
The Sheriff's Claiborne Parish Detention Center facilities page is the source for jail location and communication details.
The detention center source supports the jail contact information and inmate phone, video, and message details used here.

Claiborne Parish Custody Channels
Custody research can require more than one office. Local jail staff can answer facility questions. Patrol and Dispatch can route immediate law-enforcement custody questions. The Sheriff's public-records process applies to report and law-enforcement records, but it is not the same as a live jail roster lookup. For people moved to state prison, the Louisiana DOC offender locator is the better channel.
| Channel | Use | Contact or Access |
|---|---|---|
| Parish jail roster | Current local custody browsing | LAVNS roster linked from the Sheriff site. |
| Detention Center | Jail housing, booking, phone, and visit questions | 318-927-4201. |
| Patrol and Dispatch | Law-enforcement routing | 318-927-2011. |
| Louisiana DOC offender locator | Sentenced persons moved to state custody | Louisiana DOC offender locator. |
| VINELink | Custody search and notification | VINELink. |
| Sheriff public records | Reports or non-exempt law-enforcement records | Certified mail to the liaison listed by the Sheriff's Office. |
No official Claiborne Parish Sheriff's Office mobile app was located in the local site header, footer, or captured source set. No app-only inmate lookup was found in the assigned research.
Claiborne Parish Booking Limits
The official source gives only a narrow booking-process detail: each inmate receives telephone access after completion of booking, and phones for private use are in each housing area. The research did not locate official intake, magistrate, classification, grievance, medical-care, property, religious-services, attorney-visitation, or accreditation policies. That means the roster can confirm a custody path, but it should not be used to infer every step of the jail intake process.
Charges shown during or after booking may differ from filed court charges. Jail or arrest entries can reflect an arrest reason, a warrant, or an initial law-enforcement allegation. Filed charges and later outcomes belong in the court record after prosecutorial review and court action. For the arrest-to-charge path, use Claiborne Parish arrest records and court charges with the roster rather than treating either source alone as complete.
Confirm Claiborne Parish Custody
A current custody check should reconcile three facts: the roster display, the last-updated timestamp, and the office that can answer the specific question. The roster may show who is listed at the time of the update, but a booking, bond, release, transfer, warrant recall, or court order can change status before a public viewer refreshes the page. For urgent safety, pickup, bond, transport, or release questions, call the Detention Center or Patrol and Dispatch instead of relying only on a cached roster view.
The research also shows why the same name may need more than one custody channel. The Detention Center houses male offenders for Claiborne and surrounding parishes and also holds Louisiana Department of Corrections prisoners. A person sentenced to state custody may stop appearing as a local roster question and become a Louisiana DOC offender-locator question. A victim-notification or custody-alert question may be better suited to VINELink. A report copy, incident narrative, or sheriff-created public record follows the certified-mail public-records process rather than the roster controls.
| Question | Best First Channel | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person currently listed in local jail custody? | Claiborne Parish jail roster | The roster is the public local custody browsing tool. |
| Was the person released, transferred, or not found? | Detention Center phone | Staff can address timing questions that a public roster may not explain. |
| Did the person move to state prison? | Louisiana DOC offender locator | DOC custody is separate from the parish jail roster. |
| Do victims or family need custody alerts? | VINELink | VINELink is the documented custody notification/search channel. |
| Is a report or incident record needed? | Sheriff public-records liaison | Reports are requested by certified mail under the Sheriff's policy. |
Note: The roster is useful for a quick custody check, but it is not a substitute for a court file, warrant recall, or certified sheriff record.
Claiborne Parish Visitation Records
The facilities page confirms remote video visits and messaging, but official sources did not locate a weekly in-person visitation schedule, on-site video kiosk hours, visitor ID rules, dress code, child visitor rules, attorney visitation hours, holiday changes, or lockdown visit rules. The safest published instruction is to contact the Detention Center or use the listed NCIC account channels for current visit and deposit questions.
| Visit or Contact Type | Published Schedule | Official Research Status |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Not published in captured official sources | Call 318-927-4201 before travel. |
| Remote video visit | No weekly schedule captured | Facilities page confirms home video visits through NCIC. |
| Attorney visitation | Not published in captured official sources | Confirm directly with jail staff or court counsel. |
| Holiday or lockdown changes | Not published in captured official sources | Confirm directly with the Detention Center. |
Contact Claiborne Parish Inmates
Ally Telecom Group provides prepaid calling service for incarcerated persons at Claiborne Parish. Incoming calls cannot be received except voicemail messages to approved inmates. Calls, including local, long distance, and international, are billed by the minute with no connection fees. Three-way calls are prohibited.
| Call Category | Rate | Notes |

Account setup and funding can use the current NCIC inmate telephone account, the NCIC website, the Spanish account URL, or the 1-800-943-2189 call center listed in the research.
| Service | Provider | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remote video visit | NCIC account | $0.30 per minute | Fund with an NCIC inmate telephone account. |
| Text or message | NCIC account | $0.25 per message | Inmates receive messages instantly per the Sheriff's page. |
| Picture message | NCIC account | $0.35 each | Approved pictures only. |
| Video message | NCIC account | $0.35 each | No limit stated in the facilities source. |
Claiborne Parish Mail and Funds
The captured official sources did not publish a full mail address format, commissary vendor, money-deposit kiosk, retail deposit option, tablet program, deposit limit, deposit fee, or commissary schedule. Do not guess those rules from other parishes. Use the Detention Center phone number for deposit and mail questions before sending funds, letters, or property.
Sheriff public-record requests are separate from inmate funds. The research states that requests to the Sheriff's Office are accepted by certified mail only and routed to the appointed records liaison, currently Marla Rowe, Civil Deputy, at 300 Hwy 146, Homer, LA 71040. That process may help with report records, but it is not a jail commissary or video-visit account path.
Note: For unlisted jail visit, mail, and deposit rules, confirm with the Detention Center before relying on third-party jail sites.
