Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center Overview
Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center is operated by the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office. The Louisiana DPS&C parish page lists it as the local jail for Pointe Coupee Parish, with the same Cajun II Road address and jail phone found in sheriff and Louisiana Sheriffs' Association sources. Sheriff Rene' Thibodeaux is the parish sheriff, and the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association directory identifies Darrel Roan as detention warden.
The facility type matters for inmate lookup. This is not a state prison, BOP institution, or ICE detention center. It is the local parish jail for arrests, local jail sentences, and some state custody when Louisiana assigns a person to a local facility. Once a person receives a felony sentence and moves into DPS&C classification or a state facility, the parish roster may stop being the main source.
Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center Capacity
Current official sheriff and DOC profile pages do not publish a live jail population or current rated capacity. The strongest dated capacity source is the December 2021 Louisiana DOC/JLCB Act 119 local-facility report, which listed the detention center with 209 operational beds. Older Prison Policy Initiative correctional geography data listed 150 for the detention center and a separate historical TWP capacity, but the current DOC parish map does not confirm a separate active work-release facility.
| Source | Figure | Use |
|---|---|---|
| DOC/JLCB report, December 2021 | 209 | Dated official operational capacity |
| Prison Policy Initiative geography source | 150 | Older BJS/Census-derived detention center capacity context |
| Current DOC parish page | No live ADP | Confirms facility name and contact, not current count |
Look Up Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center Inmates
The correct online route for local custody is the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster. Captured roster material showed an alphabet filter, visible fields for name, DOB, race, gender, and arrest date, and a VINE notification option. The roster is best for current custody, not for all historical bookings or final court outcomes.
- Open the LAVNS roster for Pointe Coupee Parish.
- Use Show All or the last-name initial filter.
- Match the person by name and DOB when possible.
- Register with VINE if custody-change notice is needed.
- Call (225) 638-5407 if the roster is missing a person who may still be booked.
Use Louisiana VINE and DPS&C for state custody, the BOP locator for federal custody, and ICE ODLS for immigration custody. Those systems do not replace the jail roster for a new local arrest.
Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center Address
The jail address is different from the sheriff's public administration office on East Main Street. Use the Cajun II Road address for jail visits, jail mail questions, and custody-related calls. Use the sheriff business line for records routing when the jail information line cannot answer a records process question.

Visit Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center
Pointe Coupee-specific visitor hours, visitor entrance, parking, video visitation, dress code, and child rules were not published on the inspected official pages. The practical rule is to call the jail before travel. Ask whether the person is eligible for visits, whether visits are contact, noncontact, or video, what government ID is required, and whether any disciplinary or classification status limits visitation.
| Topic | Published Local Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule | Not published | Call (225) 638-5407 |
| Visitor ID | Not published | Ask about photo ID and approval |
| Video visitation | Not confirmed | Ask whether a vendor or on-site terminal is used |
| Attorney visits | Not published | Attorneys should coordinate with jail and court |
Mail and Money at Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center
The research did not confirm a local mail format, commissary vendor, phone vendor, video vendor, or deposit fee schedule for the detention center. Do not assume state-prison JPay, Securus, or Access Securepak rules apply to the local jail. A person transferred into DPS&C custody may be subject to those statewide state-prison rules, but a local jail detainee needs local instructions from the detention center.
| Service | Confirmed Detail | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Local format not published | Call before sending letters or legal mail | |
| Phone/video | Provider not confirmed | Ask the jail for current setup |
| Money deposit | Vendor and fees not confirmed | Confirm accepted methods before paying |
| Commissary | Package rules not published | Ask whether deposits or packages are allowed |
Booking at Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center
After an arrest, Louisiana CCP art. 228 requires booking at a jail or police station. Booking records include the person's name and address, property taken, date and time of booking, and a booking information summary. The summary includes charges, the arresting person, brief facts, and related arrestees when known. The public roster can lag the physical booking event, so a very recent arrest may require a phone call before it appears online.
Local official pages did not publish booking desk hours, average intake time, property-release hours, or housing unit names. Research did find audit-derived context that intake and medical screening, property inventory, and classification were noted in 2024 snippets, but those snippets are not a substitute for current jail policy. For release timing, bond posting, or property, call the jail directly.
Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center Records
For records not visible on the roster, ask the sheriff's office for the proper records custodian. Louisiana R.S. 44:32 covers public-record inspection and copying, while CCP art. 228 is the core booking-record law. A request should name the person, DOB if known, arrest date, and the specific record sought. For formal charges and dispositions, the 18th Judicial District Court and Pointe Coupee Clerk of Court become the record source.
Note: Confirm custody, visit eligibility, and money rules with the jail before traveling or making payments.
