Jefferson Davis Parish Records and Louisiana Law

Louisiana's Public Records Law, La. R.S. 44:1, says that booking records are public. This means anyone can ask to view them at the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office. You do not need to be related to the inmate or give a reason for your request. The office must make records available for inspection during normal hours.

La. R.S. 44:3 lists some exemptions. Parts of an arrest record tied to a pending case may not be shared while the investigation is still open. But the core data, like the name, date, and charges, is almost always available right away. La. R.S. 15:587 controls the release of full criminal history through the state LACCH system. Louisiana is a closed record state for that type of information. Only authorized agencies and the inmate themselves can access it.

If you were arrested in Jefferson Davis Parish and the charges were dropped or you were found not guilty, you may file for expungement under La. C.Cr.P. Art. 971. This goes through the booking process at the 31st Judicial District Court. The record is not erased but becomes confidential in most public searches.
