West Feliciana Detention Center
The West Feliciana Parish Detention Center is at 4834 Feliciana Street in St. Francisville. The phone is (225) 784-3148. This is where bookings happen. The facility has 39 beds and primarily houses male offenders. Youth and female offenders get transferred to other facilities because the jail does not have separate housing for them.
The detention center is a drug and tobacco free facility. It is designed to hold pre-trial and post-trial offenders. Programs at the jail include GED classes, parenting courses, counseling for father and son relationships, religious programs, and library access with legal books. These programs are available to inmates while they wait for court or serve short sentences at the West Feliciana facility.
Visitation at the detention center runs on weekdays, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM. Visitors must be on the approved visitor's list. The inmate has to submit a form to add someone. Visitors with felony convictions are not allowed. Trustee status inmates can have visitors on Saturdays from 9 AM to 11 AM or 1 PM to 4 PM for up to two hours. Non-trustee inmates get visits on Wednesdays during the same time windows for one hour. Visitors cannot bring anything except identification, and all visitors are searched when they arrive.
