East Feliciana Parish Prison Overview

East Feliciana Parish Prison is operated by the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office and serves as the main local detention site for the parish. The sheriff describes the facility as holding parish pre-trial offenders, probation and parole holds, and Department of Corrections offenders. That mix matters for inmate lookup because not every person at the prison is in the same legal stage. Some people are waiting on court action after a parish arrest. Others may be held because of a probation or parole issue. DOC offenders may be in local custody through parish housing or work-program arrangements.

The sheriff's parish prison page describes a secure local jail with an 8-foot fence and razor ribbon around the facility. The same page lists an approximate capacity of 242 and explains that all persons entering the prison are subject to search. The official roster link is the East Feliciana LAVNS roster, a public table used for current custody checks and VINE notification registration.

The sheriff's parish prison source shows the facility's capacity, visitation cautions, programs, and roster path in one place.

East Feliciana Parish Prison Capacity

The sourced capacity figure for East Feliciana Parish Prison is approximate, and it comes from the sheriff's facility page. The public LAVNS roster inspection in the research file counted 266 visible VINE-linked rows on June 16, 2026, while the sheriff's page lists capacity at about 242. That roster count should not be treated as a sworn head count for beds in the main building. The roster may include DOC offenders, work-program participants, or accounting categories that do not map one-to-one to occupied jail beds.

East Feliciana Parish Prison Roster Lookup

The East Feliciana Parish Prison roster is not a name-search box. It is a browse and sort table hosted through LAVNS. A user must accept the notice, then use Show All, an A-Z filter, or the sortable headers. The row fields are narrow: LAVNS/VINE icon, Name, DOB, Race, Gender, and Arrest Date. The public table did not show mugshots, charges, bond, housing unit, court date, or a booking detail page during the research inspection.

1. Open the East Feliciana LAVNS roster and accept the public notice.
2. Use Show All or pick the first letter of the last name. Sort by Name, DOB, Race, Gender, or Arrest Date when needed.
3. Compare the name and date of birth before relying on a match, because the table is brief.
4. Use the LAVNS/VINE icon for custody status registration, then call the jail if bond, release, or hold details are not shown.

East Feliciana Parish Prison Contact

Use the prison contact line for current jail custody questions that the roster does not answer. The facility can confirm the proper office for bond, release, hold, visitation, or mail questions. The public sources did not show a separate online jail records request form, so questions that need official records may require a written request to the sheriff as custodian or a court-records request to the clerk after a criminal case is filed.

East Feliciana Parish Prison Visits

Visitation at East Feliciana Parish Prison is limited by offender eligibility. The sheriff states that only certain offenders are allowed in-person visits. People who are not allowed in-person visitors may use video visitation through equipment provided by the sheriff. The official material did not publish a full day-by-day schedule, so visitors should call the prison before traveling and ask whether the person is approved for in-person or video contact.

East Feliciana Parish Prison Mail

The official research located the prison mailing address, but it did not locate a complete inmate mail format, phone vendor, tablet vendor, commissary vendor, deposit vendor, or fee schedule from an official East Feliciana sheriff source. That gap should be handled plainly. Do not assume that a vendor used by another Louisiana jail applies here. Mail and money rules can change by contract, by housing status, and by whether the person is a parish detainee or a DOC offender.

For local custody records, the broader jail lookup process is covered on the Jail Inmate Records page. If a person has moved into state prison custody, the Louisiana VINE search and DPS&C locator phone line are better tools than the parish roster alone.

East Feliciana Parish Prison Programs

The parish prison is not just a booking point. The sheriff's page lists a Transitional Work Program, Trustee Work Program, Hi-set/GED, Discipleship Training, and Re-Entry Programming. The transitional work track is for DOC-approved offenders who may work for employers before release. The trustee track is also tied to eligible DOC offenders and includes janitorial work for parish-owned buildings, cleaning, laundry, maintenance at the prison, and service work on sheriff or police jury vehicles.

DOC offender

A sentenced person in Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections custody, sometimes housed locally.

Probation or parole hold

A custody hold based on supervision status, not just a new parish charge.

Trustee

An eligible person assigned to approved work inside the prison or for public facility tasks.

Transitional work

A DOC-approved work release path meant to help a person earn funds before release.

East Feliciana Parish Custody Differences

East Feliciana Parish Prison is the correct first stop for current parish jail custody. It is not the same thing as Dixon Correctional Institute, even though Dixon is also in East Feliciana Parish. Dixon is a Louisiana DPS&C state prison for sentenced people. The East Feliciana Parish Transitional Work Program is a DOC-approved work program listed separately by DPS&C, but it shares the parish prison mailing address in the located official sources.
