About the Livingston Parish Detention Center

The Livingston Parish Detention Center, an 84,000 square foot facility built in 2009 at a cost of $18 million, has a rated inmate capacity of 673 beds. This facility replaced a 160 bed jail that was run down, and inadequate in size, forcing the Livingston Sheriff at that time to house inmates at other parishes.

As it is, they are already overcrowded and are either going to have to release some of the non-violent inmates they now jail, or build an expansion to the back or side of the current facility.

The Livingston Parish Detention Center is located at 28445 Charlie Watts Road in Livingston, Louisiana 70754. You can reach the jail 24 hours a day by calling 225-686-2241. If you want to get information about an inmate in custody, the inmate's ID number, or any of the inmate services, you can find it in any of the sections below this one, however you can look up an inmate online using the Inmate Search feature. While the official online Jail Roster does not have mugshots, you can get the inmate ID number and their criminal charges. Most of the inmates are either pre-trial or have been sentenced to one year or less, however there are also Louisiana State Prison inmates housed here as well.

Livingston Parish’s land area covers approximately 700 square miles plus approximately 100 miles of inland waterways. There are eleven cities, towns and communities within the parish, most of which have local police departments. Most of the residents live in the country areas that are served by the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office, which has a total of 160 deputies, including those that work at the Livingston Parish Detention Center.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly, however the jail uses a digital service to avoid contraband entering the facility. The original letter will be scanned and then destroyed. Friends and family of inmates in the Livingston Parish Detention Center can arrange to visit inmates by video, both at the jail and remotely from home. Friends and family can also communicate using an online text/email system, send them money and buy them commissary online, and set up a phone account that allows the inmates to call them during the day and evening seven days a week.
