State Law on East Carroll Inmate Records
Under R.S. 15:574.12, records held by the Louisiana DPS&C are mostly private. Only an inmate's age, offense, date of conviction, sentence length, and misconduct while locked up are public. But parish jail records are different. Under the Louisiana Public Records Act (R.S. 44:1), booking logs and arrest records at the parish level are public. So the East Carroll Parish Sheriff can share more than the state can.
If an East Carroll inmate goes to state prison after sentencing, tracking them shifts to the DPS&C offender info page. You can call (225) 383-4580 to use the automated locator. You need the person's DPS&C number or their name and date of birth.
Note: The DPS&C site updates once every 24 hours, while parish jail data through VINE updates every 15 minutes.
