Ascension Parish Jail Inmate Search
Ascension Parish Inmate Search and Mugshots, Donaldsonville
The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office runs an online inmate inquiry for the parish jail on Lemannville Cutoff Road outside Donaldsonville. It lists people in custody and some housed off site. Call 225-473-8674 for anything the search cannot answer.
How do I use the sheriff's search?
Go to the inmate inquiry. Search by name, subject number or booking number, or filter by booking dates. It shows race, gender, birth date, height, weight, release date and housing.
↑ Back to the question listCan I see a mugshot on the inquiry?
No image appeared in the photo column or on the detail pages we opened in October 2026. Reporters and family members seeking a booking photo may contact the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office Records Division at 225-473-8674. For someone in immigration custody, request records on ICE's FOIA page. Photos from federal arrests are kept by the U.S. Marshals, who normally do not release them.
↑ Back to the question listIs a booking photo public in Louisiana?
Act 281 of 2024 removed the pre-conviction release ban on August 1, 2024. Pay-to-remove websites must take a photo down within 7 days at no charge after an acquittal, dismissal, pardon or expungement.
↑ Back to the question listWhat does off-site housing mean?
The search can show people the parish holds in another facility. The entry lists the housing location. Call the jail before driving to visit.
↑ Back to the question listHow do I check state prison custody?
Phone the state corrections locator at 225-383-4580 and search by DOC number, or by name together with birth date. It does not cover pretrial parish inmates.
↑ Back to the question listWhat about federal or ICE custody?
Search the BOP inmate locator or the ICE detainee locator. A federal hold may still be housed locally, so call too.
↑ Back to the question listHow do I stay in touch with someone inside?
