This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, authorize a release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency responsible for the record or custody decision directly.
Choose the Correct Office
For Washington Parish Jail custody or a sheriff booking record, begin with the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office. The main office and jail are at 1002 Main Street, Franklinton, LA 70438, and the main telephone number is 985-839-3434. A WPSO-branded page lists office hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; call before traveling because hours and online systems can change. The Criminal Records Division handles reports, records, warrants, subpoenas, and fingerprints.
The right destination depends on the type and stage of the record:
- For a booking photo, arrest record, jail-roster entry, warrant check, or correction request, use the official routes in the Washington Parish arrest and records hub.
- For someone reportedly arrested today, check Arrested Today. For a broader local-news window, use Arrest Reports.
- For a custody-status change, release, or transfer alert, use the VINE Arrest Check.
- For a court disposition or expungement filing, contact the Washington Parish Clerk of Court at 985-839-4663.
- For a person serving a state sentence, consult Louisiana DPS&C inmate information.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. Immigration detention has a separate ICE detainee locator.
