East Feliciana Parish Inmate Population

The East Feliciana Parish inmate population has three official pieces. The main local jail is East Feliciana Parish Prison in Clinton, operated by the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office. The sheriff says that facility holds parish pre-trial offenders, probation and parole holds, and Department of Corrections offenders. The second local program is the East Feliciana Parish Transitional Work Program, which serves DOC-approved work release participants. The third major facility is Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, a Louisiana DPS&C state prison for sentenced people.

Those custody groups should not be merged into one simple jail count. A person arrested locally may begin at the parish prison. A person approved for transitional work is a DOC offender, even if the program is connected to the sheriff's operation. A sentenced state prisoner at Dixon is in Louisiana DPS&C custody, not ordinary parish jail custody. The East Feliciana Parish inmate population is therefore best read as a local jail population plus DOC populations that affect local searches and facility visits.

East Feliciana Parish Population Statistics

The best local snapshot comes from the sheriff's parish-prison page and the LAVNS roster inspection. The sheriff publishes an approximate capacity of 242 for East Feliciana Parish Prison. During inspection on June 16, 2026, the public LAVNS roster showed 266 visible offenderID or VINE-linked rows at a roster timestamp of 9:30:47 AM Central Time. That is a current roster snapshot, not a certified average daily population.

The roster count being higher than the stated capacity should be handled carefully. The roster may include DOC offenders, work-program participants, or accounting categories that are not the same as people sleeping in the main jail beds. Before calling the jail overcrowded, verify the actual in-house count with the sheriff or a public-records request.

East Feliciana Parish Inmate Trends

Official sources did not publish a clean multi-year East Feliciana jail average-daily-population table in the materials reviewed. The strongest trend facts are a 2026 roster snapshot, the sheriff's 2026 capacity figure, and 2022 parish-of-origin state-prison data. That limited series still helps readers avoid one common mistake: the jail roster, the state-prison origin table, and the census denominator measure different things.

BJS, Vera, and Jail Data Initiative sources were checked in the research process, but no official local annual booking count or average length of stay was located. If later county exports become available, they should be treated as a separate jail-population measure, not mixed into the state-prison count.

Who Is in East Feliciana Parish Custody

The sheriff's description of the parish prison population is more precise than a generic jail label. It includes parish pre-trial offenders, probation and parole holds, and DOC offenders. Pre-trial means the person is held before a final case disposition. A probation or parole hold can keep a person in custody because of supervision status. A DOC offender is in Louisiana state corrections custody, even when housed locally.

• Parish pre-trial offenders: people held after local arrest while the case moves through court.
• Probation and parole holds: people held because supervision status or another order blocks release.
• DOC offenders: Louisiana state corrections prisoners housed or programmed through local facilities.
• Transitional work participants: DOC-approved offenders working before release through the local TWP.
• Dixon prisoners: sentenced DPS&C custody at the state prison in Jackson.

Dixon Correctional Institute adds a different demographic profile. DPS&C reports that 52% of Dixon's population is made up of people convicted of violent offenses, the average sentence length is 21 years, and 42% of people imprisoned there are ages 30 to 44. Those figures describe the state prison, not the parish jail roster.

East Feliciana Parish Inmate Laws

Louisiana public-record law helps explain why roster and court records can be requested, but it also leaves room for limits. Jail custody rows, clerk files, and booking photographs do not all follow the same path. In East Feliciana Parish, the sheriff is the practical custodian for jail custody records, while the clerk controls filed court records after a criminal case opens.

Search East Feliciana Parish Inmates

The current parish jail search starts with the East Feliciana LAVNS roster. It is free and public after the user accepts the notice. It is not a standard text-search form. It works through Show All, A-Z filters, sortable columns, and row-level LAVNS or VINE icons.

1. Open the East Feliciana LAVNS roster and accept the agreement notice.
2. Use Show All or select the first letter of the person's last name.
3. Sort by Name, DOB, Race, Gender, or Arrest Date to narrow the table.
4. Use DOB and arrest date to avoid confusing people with similar names.
5. Select the VINE icon if custody-status notification is needed.

Do not type a last name into a field that does not exist. The roster is a table. If a person is not listed, use the jail phone line, VINE, the state locator, or a federal/ICE locator depending on the custody path.

East Feliciana Parish Inmate Records

The public roster shows row-level custody data, not a full booking packet. Visible fields during inspection were the LAVNS/VINE icon, name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. It also showed a roster-level last updated timestamp. Those fields are enough to check current custody and identify the person for follow-up calls.

Fields not visible on the public table included mugshots, charges, bond amount, bond type, warrant number, docket number, court date, housing unit, projected release date, arresting agency, judge, magistrate, and booking time. For charges after filing, use East Feliciana Parish court records after a jail arrest. For booking photos, use the jail mugshot rules and Louisiana booking-photo law.

The roster page captured from East Feliciana LAVNS shows why the table should be described as a custody-status roster rather than a full booking profile.

The visible fields should guide the next request. If the roster does not answer the question, the answer likely sits with the jail, clerk, DA, DPS&C, BOP, or ICE.

East Feliciana Jail vs Prison

The East Feliciana Parish inmate population includes both jail and prison custody, but searches work differently. The parish prison is the local jail route for current parish custody. Dixon Correctional Institute is a state-prison route for sentenced DPS&C custody. The transitional work program sits between those ideas because it involves DOC-approved offenders in a local work-release setting.

East Feliciana Parish Detention Facilities

The facility map gives each East Feliciana Parish custody setting a different role. The parish prison is the main local jail. The transitional work program serves DOC-approved work release. Dixon is the state prison physically in the parish. No BOP prison, ICE detention center, or dedicated U.S. Marshals detention facility was located in East Feliciana Parish.

• East Feliciana Parish Prison holds parish pre-trial offenders, probation and parole holds, and DOC offenders.
• East Feliciana Parish Transitional Work Program serves DOC-approved transitional work release participants.
• Dixon Correctional Institute is a Louisiana DPS&C state prison for sentenced people.

East Feliciana Parish Jail Programs

The sheriff's parish-prison page lists programs that affect the population mix. The Transitional Work Program lets DOC-approved offenders work for employers before release so they can build savings and prepare for reintegration. The Trustee Work Program assigns eligible DOC offenders to janitorial services, cleaning, laundry, maintenance at the parish prison, and work on vehicles owned by the sheriff and police jury.

The parish prison also lists Hi-set/GED, Discipleship Training, and Re-Entry Programming through its DOC partnership. Dixon's state-prison program list is broader and includes education, substance-abuse education, pre-release programming, reentry services, medical and mental-health care, agriculture, industrial Prison Enterprises operations, and community-service crews.
