Released Inmates Records in Assumption Parish
Assumption Parish inmate records include the name, age, and address of the person. They also show the date they were booked, the offenses on file, and their current status. If the person has been released, the status will show that. These records are made at the time of booking and kept on file after the inmate leaves.
Under Louisiana law, these local booking records are public. R.S. 44:3 covers arrest records, making most of them open once charges are filed. But records held by the state corrections department follow a different rule. R.S. 15:574.12 makes state inmate files private, with only a few exceptions: age, offense, conviction date, sentence length, and misconduct while locked up. If someone from Assumption Parish went to a state prison, those stricter rules apply to their file at DPS&C.
For paper copies of Assumption Parish released inmate records, standard fees apply. Online searches through the LAVNS roster and VINELink cost nothing.

Communication rules are strict. Inmate phone calls are limited to outgoing calls only. Calls last up to 15 minutes. Under R.S. 14:405, inmates cannot use social media or cell phones. Sending money by Cash App is not allowed. Only approved methods like JPay are accepted for placing funds on an inmate's account.
