Search Arrest, Mugshot & Inmate Records by Name
Search by name and state for arrest, booking, mugshot, inmate, jail roster, prison, criminal and court-record search categories.

Start With the Sheriff-Linked Roster
Looking for a Livingston Parish inmate mugshot usually means you need a more important answer first: was the person booked, are they still in custody, what charges are listed, and what official record should you check next?
The sheriff-linked roster is the practical starting point. This guide then helps you verify booking dates, holds, bond information, court records, public-record requests, inmate mail and Louisiana custody notifications.
What Do You Need to Know Right Now?
Different records answer different questions. Starting with the right source prevents unnecessary calls and misleading conclusions.
Fastest workflow: roster → verify DOB and Booking Date → open inmate details → save inmate/case information → check the court when the outcome matters.
How to Search the Livingston Parish Inmate Roster
The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office links its public “Inmate List” directly to the TBS-Web Livingston Jail roster. That sheriff-linked route is the correct starting point for current local custody.
1. Search the Last Name First
Start with the legal surname instead of entering a long full name. This reduces failures caused by middle names, nicknames, punctuation and suffixes.
2. Use Date of Birth for Common Names
The search interface includes a DOB field. When several people share a similar name, date of birth is much stronger than comparing photographs.
3. Read Booking Date Carefully
The roster displays Booking Date. That field is essential for deciding whether the record actually matches the recent arrest you are researching.
4. Open the Full Inmate Record
The list view is only the first layer. An inmate detail record can provide additional information such as an inmate ID, arresting agency, active or fugitive holds, charges, bond and a court-date field when available.
5. Save Useful Identifiers Before Calling
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Inmate ID
- Booking date
- Arresting agency
- Charge descriptions
- Hold information
- Bond information
After you understand what the roster can and cannot tell you, use the official links below.
Wrong-person warning: stop if the DOB, booking date or agency conflicts with what you know. A similar name or photograph is not enough to identify someone safely.
How to Find Livingston Parish Bookings From Today
A dedicated official Livingston Parish “last 24 hours” booking page was not verified in this audit. The sheriff-linked public tool is a roster, so the safest way to evaluate a recent arrest is to search the person and inspect the Booking Date.
Do not assume the first rows are today’s newest arrests. The roster contains people with different booking dates and should not be treated as a chronological 24-hour arrest feed.
| Your question | Best next step | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Was the person booked today? | Search the name and inspect Booking Date | A current roster is not necessarily sorted as a today-only report. |
| Are they still in jail? | Check the live roster, then call if urgent | An old arrest post cannot establish present custody. |
| They were arrested but are missing | Recheck spelling/DOB and contact detention | Intake, fast release or transfer can affect what appears online. |
| Need a release alert | Use LA VINE | Notification tools are more appropriate than repeatedly refreshing a photo page. |
| Need final charge or disposition | Use the Clerk / court | Booking charges are not the final court outcome. |
What “Today” Can Actually Mean
Those events can occur at different times, so a person arrested recently may not immediately match the online timeline you expect.
What the Livingston Inmate Record Fields Mean
The details surrounding a mugshot are more useful than the photo itself for verifying identity, custody and the next official source.
| Field | What it helps confirm | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Name | The name attached to the jail record. | A name-only match identifies the right person. |
| Date of Birth | Separates people with similar names. | The record is correct when DOB conflicts. |
| Inmate ID | The jail-system identifier attached to the person. | It is the same as a court docket number. |
| Booking Date | The displayed jail-intake date and time. | It is necessarily the arrest time or court filing date. |
| Arresting Agency | Which agency is associated with the arrest. | That agency also controls the court case. |
| Active / Fugitive Hold | Another custody condition may affect release. | One displayed bond clears every hold. |
| Charge | The allegation shown with the jail record. | It is the final filed charge or a conviction. |
| Bond | Bond information attached to a listed charge when populated. | Payment means immediate release. |
| Court Date | A scheduled court date when the field is populated. | The date cannot later change. |
Micro-check: if an inmate has multiple charges, read each charge and bond line separately. A bond shown beside one allegation does not tell you whether another hold prevents release.
How to Make Sure You Found the Right Person
Livingston’s roster provides enough identifiers that a photograph-only or name-only match should rarely be necessary.
- Exact first and last name
- Middle name or initial
- Suffix such as Jr. or III
- Date of birth
- Inmate ID
- Booking date
- Arresting agency
- Charge description
- Hold status
- Court information when available
Stop on a conflict: if the date of birth, booking date or jurisdiction does not match, do not publish, share or act on the record as though it belongs to the person you intended to find.
Livingston Parish Detention Center Address and Phone
When the online roster does not answer a same-day custody question, contact the detention center with useful identifiers ready rather than asking staff to search from a vague name.
Livingston Parish Detention Center
28445 Charlie Watts Road
Livingston, LA 70754
Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office
20300 Government Blvd.
Livingston, LA 70754
“I am trying to confirm current custody for [full legal name], date of birth [DOB]. The approximate booking date is [date], and the roster shows inmate ID [ID if available]. Can you confirm whether this person is currently held at Livingston Parish Detention Center or whether another official custody source should be checked?”
Use the official detention page after you know which facility and person you are checking.
How to Verify Bond Without Making a Payment Mistake
A displayed bond is only one part of the release picture. Other charges, warrants or holds can affect whether release is possible.
Before Paying a Bond
- Read every listed charge
- Record the inmate ID
- Check for active or fugitive holds
- Check whether multiple bonds appear
- Confirm the current amount
- Ask whether another jurisdiction has a hold
- Verify payment instructions officially
- Keep all receipts and case references
Payment scam warning: never send bond money because of an unsolicited phone call, text or social-media message. Verify the inmate and payment process through the detention center or court using an independently obtained official contact.
Which Court Record Should You Check?
A jail entry answers an intake and custody question. The Livingston Parish Clerk of Court is the better next source for formal criminal-case information.
Felony Cases in Livingston Parish
The Clerk’s Criminal Department handles felony charges for crimes occurring in Livingston Parish and files formal charges submitted by the District Attorney.
Misdemeanor and Traffic Cases Can Depend on Location
The Clerk also handles qualifying misdemeanor charges and traffic citations occurring outside municipal-court city limits. The Clerk specifically notes that a misdemeanor or traffic citation occurring inside a municipality such as Denham Springs may instead need to be handled through that municipal court.
What Is the 21st Judicial District Court?
The 21st Judicial District Court has original jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters in Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa Parishes. The Livingston Parish courthouse is at Government Boulevard.

21st Judicial District Court
20300 Government Blvd.
Livingston, LA 70754
Once you understand which court office is relevant, use the official resources below.
Why this matters: a jail charge can later be amended, dismissed or resolved differently. Use the court record rather than an old mugshot when the final case outcome matters.
$20 Criminal Record Check vs $10 Criminal Disposition
These are two different Livingston Parish Clerk services. Choosing the right one can save an unnecessary request or fee.
$20 Criminal Record Check
The Clerk searches the case-management system and files of the Livingston Parish Courthouse.
The result covers that court only and includes defendant docket number or numbers, offense or offenses and a brief description of the disposition.
A certified affidavit is provided with the results. If no records are found, the certified affidavit states that no records were located.
$10 Criminal Disposition Request
The Clerk’s FAQ separately says a criminal disposition must be requested in writing.
The listed fee is $10 per name per charge.
The written request and check or money order are mailed to the Criminal Filing Desk.
Where to Mail a Criminal Disposition Request
Livingston Parish Clerk of Court
ATTN: Criminal Filing Desk
P.O. Box 1150
Livingston, LA 70754
Do not mix the fees: $20 is the Clerk’s criminal-record-check service. $10 per name per charge is the separately described written criminal-disposition request.
Review the Clerk’s explanation before choosing which document you need.
How to Request a Sheriff Booking or Arrest Record
The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office publishes a one-page Public Records Request policy. Its instructions are unusually specific, so use the Sheriff’s stated process rather than sending a casual email request.
The Sheriff Requires U.S. Mail
According to the Sheriff’s published policy, public-record requests directed to LPSO must be made in writing by United States Mail. The policy says requests sent by another method are not considered received.
Mail the Request to the Custodian of Records
Custodian of Records
P.O. Box 850
Livingston, LA 70754
Include These Requester Details
- Your name
- Your age
- Your return address
- Person’s full legal name
- Approximate arrest or booking date
- Specific record requested
- Inmate or case number if known
- Enough detail to identify the record
What Happens After the Sheriff Receives It?
LPSO reviews the request
The office first determines whether the requested material qualifies for release under Louisiana public-record law.
An invoice is mailed when records are releasable
The Sheriff’s policy says the requesting party receives an invoice stating the cost of producing the records.
Payment comes before release
The policy requires payment of that invoice before the records are released.
Payment Options Listed by LPSO
The policy states that payment can be made by cash or money order in person at the Sheriff’s Office at the Livingston Parish Courthouse, 20300 Government Blvd., Livingston, LA 70754, or mailed to the Custodian of Records at P.O. Box 850.
I am requesting the publicly releasable [booking record / booking photograph / arrest report] concerning [full legal name], believed to have been arrested or booked in Livingston Parish on or about [date]. The inmate or case number is [number, if known]. Please advise whether the Sheriff’s Office holds the requested record and the applicable production cost.
Not every Sheriff record is public. LPSO’s own policy says some records and information are protected from disclosure by legal exceptions.
The source below is the Sheriff’s own one-page Public Records Request policy PDF.
Booking Records and Booking Photos Are Not the Same Thing
Louisiana law distinguishes the booking information created during jail intake from rules dealing specifically with booking photographs.
Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228
Article 228 requires an arrested person to be booked and describes the booking book and booking-information summary. The statute states that the booking book and booking-information summaries are open for public inspection.
The booking-information summary includes core information such as the person’s proper legal name when known, the charges and the person making the arrest, along with other statutory booking information.
A Booking Photo Still Does Not Prove Guilt
Louisiana Article 234 defines a booking photograph as an image generated by law enforcement for identification purposes after arrest or while a person is in custody.
Louisiana Has a Specific Remove-for-Pay Rule
Article 234 also contains a specific rule for a “remove-for-pay publication or website.” When the statutory conditions are met—for example, qualifying evidence shows acquittal, non-prosecution, expungement, vacation or pardon—the covered publication or website must remove and destroy the booking photograph within seven calendar days of the request and cannot charge for that removal.
Legal-context note: this section summarizes official Louisiana statutes for navigation purposes and is not legal advice. Article 234 applies to the specific type of publication or website defined by that law.
Use the official statutes below when the exact legal language matters.
Use the Correct Address for Regular Mail, Originals and Legal Mail
Livingston Parish Detention Center uses different mailing routes depending on what you are sending. Using the wrong address can create unnecessary delays.
Regular Inmate Mail Goes to a Scanning Center
The Sheriff’s detention page says ordinary inmate mail is sent to a central processing facility, opened and scanned, then made available through the inmate’s electronic tablet system.
JailATM.com
Livingston Parish Detention Center
Inmate Name/Number
2252 Tower Dr Suite 108-251
Monroe, LA 71201
Bulk mailings are not permitted. Include the correct inmate name and number.
Original Transaction Documents Use Livingston
If an incarcerated person must sign or enter information on an original document—for example, endorsing a check or transferring a vehicle title—the Sheriff’s page provides a different address.
Inmate Name/Number
P.O. Box 1000
Livingston, LA 70754
Legal Mail Also Goes Directly to the Detention Facility
The Sheriff’s page states that qualifying legal mail must come from a legally approved entity such as the licensed attorney of record and uses the P.O. Box 1000 Livingston address rather than the Monroe scanning address.
Check the Sheriff’s current detention instructions before mailing anything important.
Use Only the Vendors Linked by the Sheriff
Before spending money, confirm that the person is still in Livingston Parish custody and copy the correct inmate identifier from the live roster.
Five Checks Before Sending Money
- Confirm current custody
- Copy the inmate number carefully
- Start from the Sheriff’s vendor link
- Review transaction fees
- Save the receipt
- Do not pay from an unsolicited message
After confirming the inmate and service you need, use the Sheriff’s official detention page as the safest vendor launch point.
Why an Inmate or Mugshot May Be Missing
No result does not automatically mean there was no arrest. Work through the issue that best matches the timeline.
Have the full legal name, date of birth, approximate arrest date, arrest location and arresting agency ready. Ask which official custody system applies rather than asking staff for “the mugshot.”
When to Switch From the Parish Roster to LA VINE
Use the Livingston roster for current local jail information. Use Louisiana VINE when the person may have transferred or when location and custody notifications matter more than the booking photograph.
| Situation | Better source |
|---|---|
| Recent Livingston Parish booking | Livingston sheriff-linked roster |
| Current local custody | Livingston roster / detention center |
| Custody-location notification | LA VINE |
| Louisiana state custody | Louisiana DPS&C / LA VINE |
| Final court outcome | Clerk / 21st JDC |
LA VINE 24-Hour Locator
LA VINE / LAVNS
Louisiana provides this as a 24-hour locator resource.
Louisiana Imprisoned Person Locator
Have the DPS&C number or the person’s name and DOB ready.
Louisiana DPS&C says its LA VINE state-custody information is updated every 24 hours. That update statement applies to the state system and should not be confused with an update promise for the Livingston Parish roster.

Livingston Parish Inmate and Mugshot FAQs
Where do I search Livingston Parish inmates and mugshots?
Start with the inmate roster linked by the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office. Search by name and use date of birth when needed, then compare the booking date and inmate details before relying on the result.
How do I find Livingston Parish bookings from today?
Use the sheriff-linked current roster and inspect the Booking Date for the person you are researching. A separate official Livingston Parish last-24-hours booking feed was not verified, so do not assume the first roster rows are today’s newest arrests.
What information does the Livingston Parish inmate roster show?
The roster shows name, date of birth, race or gender and booking date. Individual inmate records may also show inmate ID, arresting agency, hold information, charges, bond and court-date information when those fields are populated.
Why is someone not showing on the Livingston Parish inmate roster?
Possible reasons include intake processing, rapid release, transfer, a different name spelling, incorrect date of birth, another holding agency or a record that is restricted or not displayed in the expected way. Contact the detention center when current custody must be confirmed urgently.
How do I verify bond for a Livingston Parish inmate?
Review every charge and hold on the inmate detail record, then verify important bond and release information with the detention center or the appropriate court. A listed bond on one charge does not necessarily clear another charge or hold.
Which court handles Livingston Parish criminal cases?
The Livingston Parish Clerk of Court Criminal Department handles parish felony cases and qualifying misdemeanor and traffic cases outside municipal court limits. The 21st Judicial District Court has jurisdiction over criminal and civil matters in Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa Parishes.
What is the difference between the $20 Livingston criminal record check and a criminal disposition request?
The Clerk’s $20 criminal record check searches Livingston Parish Courthouse case-management records and returns a certified affidavit showing docket numbers, offenses and brief dispositions. The Clerk’s FAQ separately lists a written criminal disposition request at $10 per name per charge.
How do I request a public record from the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office?
The Sheriff’s published public-record policy says requests directed to LPSO must be made in writing by United States Mail to the Custodian of Records, P.O. Box 850, Livingston, LA 70754. The request must include the requester’s name, age and return address and enough detail to identify the record.
When should I use Louisiana VINE instead of the Livingston Parish roster?
Use the Livingston roster for local current jail information. Use LA VINE when locating someone after a transfer or when custody-location and notification information is more important. Louisiana DPS&C also uses LA VINE for people in state custody.
Does a Livingston Parish mugshot prove someone was convicted?
No. A booking photograph documents an arrest or custody event and does not prove guilt or conviction. Louisiana law also has specific rules for certain remove-for-pay websites when qualifying charges were not prosecuted, acquitted, expunged, vacated or pardoned.
