Lookup Morehouse Parish Detention Center Inmates

Detention Center Inmate Overview

The Louisiana DPS&C facility profile identifies Morehouse Parish Detention Center as a Collinston facility with Chris Stinson listed as warden. The Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office Corrections Division also lists the Detention Center as one of the parish's correctional locations. That overlap matters for inmate lookup: the building is local and sheriff-linked, while Louisiana's local-jail model can place state-sentenced people in parish facilities.

Morehouse Parish Detention Center should be read as a regional or local detention center within parish correctional operations. The research supports local detainees, state local-jail program population, and people assigned through Morehouse Parish correctional channels. A newly arrested person may first appear on the parish roster, while a sentenced person may require a broader LA VINE or DPS&C custody check. The public roster does not show every internal file detail.

The DPS&C facility screenshot below is from the official Morehouse Parish Detention Center profile, which is the source for the warden, address, phone, fax, and mailing-address facts used here.

The state profile confirms the facility identity, but the day-to-day public lookup path still starts with the Morehouse Parish roster and facility phone confirmation.

Detention Center Inmate Capacity

A December 2021 legislative and DOC local corrections table grouped Morehouse Parish Detention Center with the Transitional Work Program and listed a combined capacity of 272. The same row excerpt showed a Detention Center and TWP population or average daily population figure of 195. Those are grouped figures, not a separate bed count for only the Detention Center building.

The live Morehouse LA VINE roster showed 201 offenders when inspected on June 16, 2026. That roster count is a point-in-time current-custody count for the public roster. It is not the official annual average daily population, and it should not be used as a facility-only count for the Detention Center.

For practical use, the capacity figures show the scale of the Collinston detention and program operation. They do not prove that one named person is at the Detention Center today. Confirm the person's current location before visiting, sending mail, or arranging a deposit.

Detention Center Inmate Lookup

The main public search path is the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office jail roster hosted through LA VINE. The sheriff's corrections page says LA VINE rosters are live rosters updated every 30 minutes from jail management system data. The public roster is useful for current custody, but it is narrow. It shows name, date of birth, race, gender, arrest date when present, and a VINELink registration icon. It does not show charges, bond, housing unit, booking number, or mugshot in the inspected table.

1. Open the Morehouse LA VINE roster and accept the disclaimer.
2. Use Show All or choose the first letter of the person's last name.
3. Compare name, DOB, race, and gender to avoid mixing people with similar names.
4. Use the VINELink row icon to register for custody-status notification if the person appears.
5. If the person is missing or the facility is unclear, call Morehouse Parish Detention Center at (318) 874-7855.

After sentencing, the search path can change. Louisiana DPS&C uses LA VINE for locate-a-person functions, and Louisiana law commits state-sentenced people to DPS&C rather than to one named institution. A person from Morehouse Parish may be housed locally, moved to another local program, or transferred into a state prison assignment.

Detention Center Contact Details

The official DPS&C facility page and the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office Corrections Division page both support the same Patey Road address and Detention Center phone number. The DPS&C page also lists the fax number, the same mailing address, and the warden. Use the facility phone for custody confirmation, visitor questions, and rules that are not published online.

For broader sheriff office routing, the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office is listed at 351 South Franklin Street in Bastrop with main phone (318) 281-4141. That main office is a fallback for records questions, while the Detention Center phone is the direct custody contact for this facility.

Detention Center Visiting Gaps

The official Morehouse Parish sources inspected did not publish a Detention Center visitation schedule, visitor dress code, identification rule, approved visitor process, video visit option, or holiday schedule. That gap should be treated as a real access limit, not filled with generic jail hours. Call before driving to Collinston, especially if the visit depends on classification, lockdown status, attorney access, or the person's exact housing assignment.

Visitors should ask whether a government photo ID is required, whether minors need a parent or guardian, what property can enter the lobby, and whether attorney or clergy visits use a different process. None of those detailed rules were published in the official pages reviewed.

Detention Center Phone Deposits

The Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office Corrections Division names Correct Solutions and CSG Pay for phone and deposit services. Prepaid collect call accounts let a person in custody call the number tied to that account. PIN debit accounts let the incarcerated person use a unique PIN and choose numbers, including international calls. The published channels are web, mobile app, phone, and automated phone payment.

Mail rules were not located in the official Morehouse pages. Use the person's name and the Detention Center mailing address only after confirming the mail format, book-in number requirements, prohibited items, legal mail handling, and whether money orders or books are accepted.

Detention Center Custody Flow

Morehouse Parish Detention Center may be part of several custody paths. A person arrested by the sheriff, Bastrop Police, state police, or another agency can enter the parish jail system through booking and classification. A person already sentenced can be assigned through Louisiana's local-jail program structure. A detainer, court order, parole hold, or state custody status can change release timing even when one local charge appears resolved.

Local detention

Custody tied to a parish arrest, local sentence, hold, or pending court process.

State local-jail program

Louisiana DPS&C custody housed in a parish facility or program rather than a state prison.

Detainer

A hold or request from another agency that can block release.

VINELink

The notification and custody-information system linked from the Morehouse roster.

The court side runs through the Fourth Judicial District Court and Morehouse Parish Clerk after arrest. Custody confirmation belongs with the roster and facility phone line, while formal charges and court dates belong with the court record. For more detail on roster fields, see the Morehouse Parish jail inmate records page.

Detention Center Records Gaps

The official research did not locate a Detention Center-specific public records form, published bond window, mail policy, inmate handbook, commissary list, medical request rules, grievance process, or program calendar. That does not mean those records or rules do not exist inside the facility. It means they were not published in the official web sources reviewed for the build.

For non-exempt public records, Louisiana public-records law gives adult requesters the right to inspect, copy, or reproduce public records unless another law applies. Booking photos and DPS&C individual prison records have separate limits. Direct records requests to the sheriff's office as custodian when the roster and phone line do not provide enough information.
