Morehouse Parish Jail Roster Overview
The official local custody starting point is the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster. It is hosted through LA VINE and displayed as an ASP.NET roster with a disclaimer, an offender count, alphabet filters, and sortable table headers. The sheriff's Corrections Division page states that LA VINE rosters are live rosters updated every 30 minutes from the jail-management system already used for the LA VINE data feed.
The roster covers current public custody rows, not every kind of Morehouse Parish inmate record. It does not show a complete booking file, a court charging document, or a sentenced prison profile. It also did not display mugshots, charges, bond, court dates, warrant numbers, housing units, or booking numbers in the inspected table. For filed charges after arrest, the Morehouse Clerk and Fourth Judicial District Court route is separate. For sentenced state custody, the Louisiana DPS&C locate-a-person path points to LA VINE. Federal and immigration custody use BOP, USMS, or ICE channels.
The image below comes from the official roster source listed in the manifest. The Morehouse LA VINE roster screenshot shows why the roster is best treated as a current-custody list rather than a full jail-record database.
The screenshot also shows the alphabet filter and count area that users should check before calling the jail about a missing or ambiguous record.
Use the Morehouse Parish Roster
A roster search works best when the person's legal name and date of birth are known. The public table does not provide a free-text search box. It also does not provide a facility dropdown, so a person housed at the jail, annex, detention center, or transitional work program may still be found through the same roster feed if they are listed in current local custody. Similar names should be compared by DOB, race, gender, and arrest date where an arrest date appears.
- Open the Morehouse Parish Jail Roster.
- Read the disclaimer and click the I agree button to show the table.
- Choose Show All or select the first letter of the last name.
- Sort the table by Name, DOB, Race, Gender, or Arrest Date if needed.
- Click the VINELink logo beside a person only if notification registration is needed.
- Call the jail at (318) 281-9336 or the detention center at (318) 874-7855 if the roster does not resolve the question.
Morehouse Parish Roster Search Fields
The Morehouse Parish inmate records available online are field-light. The roster's controls are mostly filters and sortable columns, not a modern search form. That is important for anyone looking for a booking number, charge, bond amount, or facility assignment. Those details may exist in internal jail or court records, but they were not visible in the public roster table inspected during research.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disclaimer acceptance | Button | Yes | Button label is I agree; table appears after acceptance. |
| Filter | Link set | No | Show All or A through Z last-name filtering. |
| Sort by Name | Header link | No | Posts back to sort names. |
| Sort by DOB | Header link | No | Dates display MM/DD/YYYY. |
| Sort by Race / Gender | Header links | No | Useful for similar names. |
| Sort by Arrest Date | Header link | No | Many inspected cells were blank. |
| VINELink registration icon | External link | No | Opens a notification path for that roster subject. |
Morehouse Parish Inmate Record Fields
The public roster row is a short identity and notification record. It confirms that a person is listed on the custody roster and gives several identifiers, but it withholds many items that families often expect. Charges, bond, court date, housing unit, and booking photos must be checked through jail staff, court records, or a request process if they are legally available.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| VINELink icon | Notification-registration link for a listed person. |
| Name | Roster name, generally last name first. |
| DOB | Date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Race | Race category transmitted from jail data. |
| Gender | Gender category in the public row. |
| Arrest Date | Visible column, with blanks on many inspected rows. |
| Not shown | Mugshot, charges, bond, housing, warrant number, address, and court date. |
Morehouse Parish Jail Facilities
Morehouse Parish jail records can point to several local facilities or programs, so the name of the building matters when calling for confirmation. The jail and annex were grouped together in the 2021 capacity table, while the detention center and TWP were grouped together. The sheriff and DPS&C pages should be read together for the annex because they list different addresses for facility location and program contact.

Morehouse Parish Booking Timing
A typical Morehouse Parish booking begins after an arrest by the sheriff, Bastrop Police, state police, or another agency. The person is transported to a jail or detention site for identity checks, property inventory, fingerprinting, photographing where required, medical and security screening, classification, and entry into the jail-management system. The sheriff's corrections page says the LA VINE roster updates from that jail-management data feed every 30 minutes.
That update cycle does not mean every new booking appears at once. Intake, identity checks, holds, data entry, and transfer decisions can delay or limit a public roster row. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure art. 230.1 also ties custody to a prompt first appearance within 72 hours from arrest, excluding weekends and legal holidays. Court charges may lag behind a jail booking, and the charges filed later can differ from the initial arrest reason.
Morehouse Parish Custody Alternatives
Every documented access channel should be used in the right order. Start local, then move outward. For current Morehouse Parish custody, use the roster and jail phone line. For records not online, ask the sheriff's office as custodian through its main contact channels. For court filings and formal charges, use the Morehouse Clerk and Fourth Judicial District Court. For sentenced state prisoners, use the Louisiana DPS&C/LA VINE path. For federal or immigration custody, use the separate national systems.
| Need | Channel | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Current local custody | Morehouse LA VINE roster | The person may be held in a parish facility. |
| Phone confirmation | Jail (318) 281-9336 or detention center (318) 874-7855 | The roster is blank, stale, or unclear. |
| Public records request | MPSO at 351 South Franklin Street or sheriff@mpso.net | A non-exempt jail record is not online. |
| State custody | LA VINE Louisiana person search | The person was sentenced or transferred. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | The person is serving a federal sentence. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | The question involves ICE custody or an immigration hold. |
Morehouse Parish Visitation Records
The official Morehouse pages reviewed did not publish a local visitation schedule, dress code, mail rule sheet, kiosk hours, attorney visit process, or holiday policy. That gap should not be filled with rules from other parishes. Anyone planning a visit should confirm the person is still in custody, identify the building, and call that facility before traveling. Bring government photo ID and ask about visitor approval, property limits, dress rules, and any lockdown or emergency changes.
| Facility | Published Schedule | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Morehouse Parish Jail | Not published in inspected official sources | Call (318) 281-9336. |
| Jail Annex | Not published | Call (318) 281-1625. |
| Detention Center | Not published | Call (318) 874-7855. |
| TWP | Not published | Call (318) 281-4141. |
