For inmates held under the Department of Corrections, visits are limited to one-hour blocks. The jail also enforces a strict dress code. You cannot wear clothes that look like a corrections officer uniform. Items like swimsuits, transparent clothing, and skirts or shorts above the knee are not allowed. Low-cut tops, strapless shirts, halter tops, tube tops, and anything made of spandex or lycra are all banned. These rules are enforced at the door, so plan ahead.

Note: Check with the jail before your visit to confirm the current schedule and any changes to the rules.

Louisiana Law and Tangipahoa Parish Arrest Records

Booking reports in Tangipahoa Parish are public records under Louisiana law. The Public Records Act, RS 44:1, makes all records used in government business open to the public. That includes booking logs and arrest data. Article 228 of the Code of Criminal Procedure goes further. It says that every officer who makes an arrest must book the person right away, and the booking info must stay open for inspection.

Full criminal history records are a different story. Louisiana is a closed record state under RS 15:587, meaning the state police will not hand over a person's complete criminal record to the general public. Only authorized agencies can get that data. If you need a background check, the Louisiana State Police charges $31 through the Internet Background Check portal. But for basic booking data, the Tangipahoa Parish jail roster and the Sheriff's Office are your best sources.

You can also use VINELink to search for offenders in state custody. This system updates daily and covers state prisons along with some local jails.
