Pointe Coupee Parish Jail Roster
The official local roster is the Pointe Coupee LAVNS jail roster. The page title is "Pointe Coupee Parish Jail," and the header agency is the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office. Research inspection found alphabet filters, a "# of offenders" field, a last-updated timestamp, and a LAVNS/VINE registration notice. The roster also states that it is provided for public safety and law-enforcement purposes and is not to be treated as a public or official document.
That disclaimer matters. The roster is useful for custody status, but official reports, copies, scans, certification, audio or video media, and incident or accident reports move through the sheriff public-records request path. Court charges and case outcomes belong in court records, while state prison custody belongs to Louisiana Department of Corrections resources. No official Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff mobile app was verified.
The Pointe Coupee LAVNS jail roster is the local custody lookup source identified in the research.
The roster is the fastest official starting point for current parish custody, but it should not be used as the full court or booking file.
Use Pointe Coupee Parish Inmate Search
The LAVNS roster is not a broad criminal-history search. It is a custody-status tool. Use it first when the question is whether someone is currently listed in the parish jail roster, then move to VINE for notification or to the sheriff and Clerk for official records.
- Open the Pointe Coupee LAVNS jail roster.
- Use "Show All" or the A-Z alphabet filters to narrow the roster, if entries are available.
- Check the offender count and last-updated timestamp before relying on the result.
- Use the LAVNS/VINE icon or Louisiana VINE when custody-change notices are needed.
- Call the Detention Center or submit a PCPSO public-records request for booking or incident details not shown online.
The Louisiana VINE person search is the statewide person-search entry point for custody notification.
VINE adds notification functions that the local roster references, especially when someone wants notice of custody-status changes.
Pointe Coupee Inmate Search Fields
The research captured a limited but useful field set from the LAVNS roster. It did not expose individual inmate profile rows through static inspection. The confirmed fields are filters and display fields, not a full booking-profile search form.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options or Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show All | Filter or link | No | Displays all roster entries when available. |
| A-Z alphabet filters | Filter or link | No | Filters roster by first letter; exact matching behavior was not inspectable. |
| # of offenders | Display field | N/A | Shows the current roster count. |
| Last updated | Timestamp | N/A | Observed example in research: 6/29/2026 2:30:51 PM Central Time. |
| LAVNS/VINE icon | Notification link | No | Used to register anonymously for custody-status change notices. |
Pointe Coupee Inmate Record Fields
No individual inmate rows or profile fields were exposed in static inspection. That means a public page should not promise observed fields such as mugshot, date of birth, booking number, bond amount, holding location, projected release date, or charge list. The safe inventory is limited to what the public roster actually showed and the fallback paths for data not shown online.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Roster presence | Whether the person appears on the current LAVNS jail roster, if listed. |
| Alphabet filter result | A narrowed roster view by first-letter filter, if entries are available. |
| Offender count | The number of listed offenders shown by the roster page. |
| Last-updated timestamp | When the roster page says it was last refreshed. |
| VINE notice link | A path to register for custody-status change notification. |
| Unshown booking detail | Requires the Detention Center or sheriff public-records request path. |
Note: The roster's own disclaimer says it should not be treated as an official public document.
Pointe Coupee Detention Contacts
The sheriff's staff page lists detention leadership and contact details rather than a separate published jail facility page with capacity, visitation hours, or mail rules. Use the Detention Center phone for custody and visitation questions before traveling, sending mail, or sending money. For official records, use the public-records request form.
Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center
Contact through the Sheriff's Office staff listing

The Sheriff and detention-center staff page lists detention contacts including the warden, assistant warden, and chief of security.
Those phone and fax details are the official fallback when the roster does not answer a custody or jail-practice question.
Pointe Coupee Booking Record Requests
The PCPSO public-records request form is the official route for sheriff-held copies. The form can be mailed to P.O. Box 248, New Roads, LA 70760, delivered in person to 128 Court Street, faxed to 225-638-5420, or emailed to PublicRecords@pcpso.org. The form says not to send payment with the request, but payment is required before documents are copied. Records are not transmitted by email for security reasons.
| Request Item | Amount or Rule |
|---|---|
| Copied or scanned page | $1.00 per page |
| Audio or video media on CD or USB | $10.00 |
| Certification | $5.00 |
| Incident or accident report | $10.00 |
| Fax delivery | Only for requests of 20 pages or fewer |
Pointe Coupee Jail Visits and Mail
Official Pointe Coupee-specific visitation, mail, commissary, money-deposit, video visit, tablet, call-price, dress-code, attorney-visit, and holiday-schedule rules were not found in the inspected sheriff sources. That gap should not be filled with rules from other parishes. The official-source-safe answer is to call the Detention Center before visiting, mailing items, or sending funds.
| Topic | Officially Posted Finding | Best Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation schedule | No Pointe Coupee schedule found in inspected sources. | Call 225-638-5407. |
| Mail rules | No local mail-format rule found. | Call Detention Center before mailing. |
| Commissary or funds | No official vendor or deposit rule found. | Call Detention Center before sending money. |
| Official copies | Use PCPSO public-records request form. | Civil Division or public-records phone. |
For inmate search users, this lack of posted rules is a useful limit. It prevents outdated vendor names, copied dress codes, and made-up visit times from being treated as Pointe Coupee policy.
Inmate Custody vs Court Cases
A jail roster answers a custody question. A criminal court record answers a case question. Pointe Coupee charges, pleas, motions, minutes, trial evidence, appellate-record material, disposition, and sentence are Clerk or court records. Current custody, release notice, and detention contacts are sheriff or LAVNS/VINE matters. A person can have a court case without being in parish custody, and a person can be in custody before the public court file shows every charge or outcome.
Federal custody and federal cases are separate. Pointe Coupee Parish is in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, with federal court held at Baton Rouge under 28 U.S.C. Section 98. Federal appeals go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Parish jail roster results should not be used to search federal dockets, federal custody, or appeals.
The Middle District court information page is a federal court source, not a parish jail roster.
It helps separate federal case access from Pointe Coupee Parish inmate custody searches.
The Middle District directories page provides federal court directory context.
Those federal contacts are relevant only when the custody or case issue has moved into the federal court system.
The Fifth Circuit homepage is the federal appellate source for Louisiana federal appeals.
Federal appeals do not replace the local LAVNS roster, but they can matter when a custody issue is tied to a federal case.
Restricted Pointe Coupee Inmate Records
Louisiana R.S. 44:3 allows access to some booking, citation, bill-of-information, and initial-report records while protecting certain active law-enforcement and prosecutive files. Juvenile records are also restricted under Louisiana Children's Code Article 412, except traffic violations and other statutory disclosures. Expunged or sealed records may not appear in public channels even when authorized agencies can still access them.
For practical use, separate three questions before contacting an office. If the question is "is the person in custody now," use the LAVNS roster or VINE. If the question is "what official report or booking copy exists," use the PCPSO public-records request form and expect payment before copying. If the question is "what charges or case result followed the booking," use the Clerk Criminal Department or District Court case path because the roster does not replace the court file.
Use the sheriff for custody and booking questions, the Clerk Criminal Department for court-file questions, and LAVNS or VINE for custody-change notification. If a roster result conflicts with a court record, verify the issue with the originating office because roster updates, case filings, bond decisions, and release paperwork do not all update in the same system at the same time.
