How Booking Works in Pointe Coupee Parish
When deputies arrest someone in Pointe Coupee Parish, the person goes to the detention center on LA-981 in New Roads. Booking starts right away. Staff take a photo, fingerprints, and personal information. Charges get logged and a bond amount is set if the court allows it. All of this feeds into the system and shows up on the Pointe Coupee Parish jail roster.
"This agency is providing this roster of incarcerated offenders to the public and law enforcement in the interest of public safety." The roster is meant for public awareness. Once booking is done, the inmate's name and charges appear on the LAVNS portal. This can take a few hours. If you are looking for someone who was just arrested in Pointe Coupee Parish, wait a bit and check back.
