How Prairieville Arrest Records Work

Louisiana law under La. R.S. 44:1 makes booking records public. When a deputy arrests someone in Prairieville, the booking record goes into the parish system and becomes available to the public as booking records. You can ask for copies in person at the sheriff's office, by mail, or through the online inmate search tools. The record includes the inmate's name, charge, booking date, and bond amount.

There are limits to what you can get. La. R.S. 44:3 exempts some records from public access, including those tied to active investigations and juvenile cases. The state criminal history system maintained by Louisiana State Police under La. R.S. 15:587 is closed to the general public. But the local parish booking logs are separate from that system and stay open for anyone to view.

If you need your own criminal history, La. R.S. 15:588 gives you the right to review it. You schedule fingerprints through the Louisiana Applicant Processing System and get your report by mail or secure email. The fee is $26 through the Louisiana State Police BCII.

Note: Expunged records under La. C.Cr.P. Art. 971 become confidential and will not appear in public search results.
