Beauregard Parish Jail Roster
The Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office is the official local jail agency. Sheriff Mark Herford is listed in Louisiana DOC parish materials, and the Sheriff's site gives the main 24-hour phone as 337-463-3281 or 833-404-1371. The jail phone is 337-460-5520. The Sheriff's public roster is the main online route for Beauregard Parish inmate records.
The roster landing page offers two choices: Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release. Current Inmates shows people held at the Beauregard Parish Detention Center. The 48-hour release path shows people released from the detention center during the prior 48 hours. The roster states that all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty, which is important because jail booking data is not a conviction record.
Beauregard Parish inmate records differ from arrest records and court charges. The roster tracks custody and booking information. A criminal case file tracks charges filed in court, pleas, hearings, minutes, disposition, and sentence.
Use Beauregard Parish Inmate Roster
The public roster is designed for browsing and filtering rather than a required last-name search box. Each list entry can lead to a profile page, where more custody detail appears. For bond, charge, and case-number decisions, the Sheriff's roster itself directs people to contact detention center staff because the roster can change after court appearances.
- Open the Sheriff's Current Inmate Roster for people now in custody.
- Use the Name, Date, Current, Released, Sort Newest to Oldest, or Sort Oldest to Newest controls to narrow the roster view.
- Select View Profile on a roster entry to see the booking number, booking date, arresting agency, charge text, and other visible details.
- Use the 48 Hour Release roster when the person may have just left custody.
- Call 337-460-5520 before posting bail, mailing property, or relying on charge or case-number data.

Beauregard Parish Inmate Profile
A sample profile inspected during research showed the level of detail available after a roster entry is opened. The sample included a booking number, age, gender, race, address, arresting agency, booking date and time, and charges. The same profile warned that charges and bail amounts can change after court appearances.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The listed person in the public custody profile. |
| Booking number | The jail booking identifier for that custody event. |
| Age / gender / race | Basic identifying fields from the public profile. |
| Address | Address field visible on the sample profile. |
| Arresting agency | The agency listed for the booking, such as DeRidder Police Department in the sample. |
| Booking date/time | The time the person was booked into custody. |
| Charges | Charge text as booked, which may change after court appearances. |
| Bail disclaimer | Instruction to contact detention center staff for correct bail, charges, and case numbers. |
Note: A Beauregard Parish inmate profile can show allegations or booked charges, but it does not prove guilt or final disposition.
Beauregard Parish Jail Facility
The Sheriff's Corrections page gives the jail history and current facility context. The original Beauregard Parish Jail was established in 1914 and was known locally as the hanging jail. The current jail opened after the old jail stopped operating in 1984 and now operates on Bolivar Bishop Drive with a capacity of 161 beds. The official page names Warden Freddie Doyle and Assistant Warden Luke Gaspard.

The Corrections page describes the jail mission as care, custody, and control. It also mentions life-skills, education, and coping-skills programs, but the research did not locate a detailed program schedule or public vendor list.
Beauregard Parish Booking Records
Booking is the jail-side record event. It can begin after an arrest, warrant pickup, fugitive hold, or transfer. The roster may show arresting agency, booking date, charges, and profile information. Court case data may follow a different path through the District Attorney, Clerk of Court, and 36th JDC.
Because charge text can shift after court appearances, the roster is a starting point. For the filed charge, court minutes, plea, or sentence, use the Clerk's criminal records path and the full Beauregard Parish criminal court records file when a case exists. For a release or bail question, the Detention Center phone line is the official confirmation route.
Beauregard Parish Jail Visits
Official visitation, mail, commissary, video-visitation, money-deposit, and phone-price details were not located on the Sheriff pages captured in the research. This is a high-risk area for stale information, so the page should not invent a schedule, mail-scanning rule, vendor name, or deposit fee. The official jail phone is the practical channel before a visit or deposit attempt.
| Service Topic | Official Detail Located | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Jail phone | 337-460-5520 | Call before visits, mail, deposits, or bond posting. |
| Jail address | 412 Bolivar Bishop Drive, DeRidder, LA 70634 | Confirm delivery and visitor rules first. |
| Visitation schedule | No official public schedule located | Do not rely on nonofficial schedule listings. |
| Video visits | No official provider or price table located | Ask jail staff whether remote visits are available. |
| Commissary deposits | No official vendor or deposit schedule located | Confirm the current provider before sending funds. |
| Mail rules | No official mail format or banned-items list located | Call before sending mail, photos, books, or property. |
Note: The absence of a published schedule is a research-backed limitation, not permission to use an unofficial jail-services page.
State and Federal Inmate Searches
Beauregard Parish inmate records cover local jail custody, not every person from the parish who may be in state or federal custody. Sentenced state-prison or state-supervised custody should be checked through Louisiana DOC resources and VINELink. Federal custody uses the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, not the parish jail roster.
The VINELink Louisiana notification portal is the manifest source for the custody-notification image below. It connects to the research because Louisiana DOC points users to statewide victim notification and custody-status routes for people outside the local jail roster's scope.
Use VINELink for notification and custody-status tracking, then use the local Sheriff roster only for Beauregard Parish Detention Center custody and recent releases.
Beauregard Parish Sheriff App
Official store listings were located for the Beauregard Sheriff's Office LA Android app and the Beauregard Sheriff's Office LA iPhone app. The listings describe reporting crimes, submitting tips, interactive features, and public-safety news. They do not establish an app-only Beauregard Parish inmate lookup or app-only active-warrant search.
The Sheriff's PREA materials also matter for jail safety. The research says the jail and Transitional Work Program Facility adopted a zero-tolerance standard for sexual abuse and harassment, with reporting, separation, investigation, and training procedures. Public pages report aggregate PREA data rather than personal allegations.
Contact Beauregard Parish Inmates
Because no official public mail, phone-account, video-visit, or commissary vendor details were located, contact methods should be confirmed with the Detention Center before action. Call 337-460-5520 before mailing items, trying to schedule a visit, depositing funds, or asking a bond company to act. The roster profile itself tells people posting bail to call jail staff for current bail amounts, charges, and case numbers.
The Sheriff's contact page warns that plain-text email is not secure and should not be used for confidential, sensitive, or personal information such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, state ID numbers, bank accounts, card numbers, or medical information. Phone confirmation is the safer official route for custody and jail service questions.
