Jackson Parish Sheriff's Office Booking Records
The Jackson Parish Sheriff's Office in Jonesboro handles all arrest records for the parish. You can reach them at (318) 259-9021 for questions about bookings, inmates, or records. The office processes arrests and creates booking reports that are then available to the public under RS 44:1.
What makes Jackson Parish different from many small parishes is that the sheriff posts an online inmate list. The page at jacksonparishsheriff.com/inmates shows current inmates with their age, booking date, booking time, bonds, and charges. Each entry gives you real data. For example, you might see a listing that shows "Age: 41, Booking Date: 02/05/26, Bonds: $5,000, Charge: Bench warrant" along with the statute number for the charge. This makes it simple to check who is locked up without calling.

Jackson Parish Correctional Center
The Jackson Parish Correctional Center in Jonesboro is operated by LaSalle Corrections Corporation. This is a private company that runs the facility under contract. The center is larger than what you might expect for a parish this size. It has a capacity of 1,034 beds for ICE detainees alone, plus space for local inmates. The facility falls under the New Orleans ICE Field Office for federal immigration detainees.
The per diem rate at the Jackson Parish Correctional Center is $74. That is the daily cost charged per inmate. This rate matters because it helps fund the facility's operations. Both local arrests and federal holds generate booking reports that go through the sheriff's office. If someone is booked into this facility on parish charges, those records are public. ICE detainee records follow different federal rules and are not handled the same way as state booking reports.
Note: Federal immigration detainees held at this facility are subject to ICE policies, not Louisiana public records laws.
How to Search Jackson Parish Booking Reports
Start with the online inmate page. Go to jacksonparishsheriff.com/inmates and look through the current roster. Each entry shows the person's age, when they were booked, bond amounts, and charge details. The page is free to use. No account needed.
If the person you are looking for is no longer in custody, the online page may not help. In that case, call the sheriff at (318) 259-9021. Staff can search older records by name. Under Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228, booking records must always be open for public inspection. The sheriff cannot refuse to let you see them. You might also use the LAVNS VineLink system to track someone who was moved to state custody after being booked in Jackson Parish.
For written records, you can visit the sheriff's office in person or send a request by mail. Bring your ID if you go in person. Have the full name of the person you are looking up. A date of birth or approximate arrest date helps the staff find the right record faster.

Jackson Parish Records Under Louisiana Law
Booking reports in Jackson Parish fall under the same state laws that apply to all 64 parishes. The Public Records Act in RS 44:1 makes all government records presumptively open. RS 44:3 goes further and specifically names booking records as public, even when other law enforcement files are exempt.
The state keeps comprehensive criminal history records locked down. Under RS 15:587, the LACCH system is only open to authorized agencies. Louisiana is a closed record state for that data. A state background check costs $31 through the Louisiana State Police Internet Background Check system. But again, that is separate from booking reports. You can get booking data from Jackson Parish for free because it is a different type of record with different access rules.
If someone booked in Jackson Parish ends up in state prison, their records at that point fall under RS 15:574.12. Only limited data stays public at the state level: age, offense, conviction date, sentence length, and misconduct while locked up.
Jackson Parish Booking Report Fees
