Assumption Parish Inmate Population Today
The Assumption Parish inmate population is held through one public local facility for this project, the Assumption Parish Detention Center in Napoleonville. The jail is operated by the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office, and the official public window into current custody is the sheriff's Zuercher roster. That roster covers people arrested in the parish, pretrial detainees, short parish sentences, and people held for other agencies. It is not the same as a court docket, a state prison database, or a federal custody record.
Population changes can occur at several points. A new arrest must be transported, booked, screened, photographed, assigned a hold reason, and placed in housing before the public row appears. A judge may set bond, hold a person without bond, or leave an outside detainer in control. A sentenced person may later move from the parish roster into Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections custody. Federal and immigration matters can also affect the local count when a person is held for the U.S. Marshals Service or DHS/ICE.
Assumption Parish Inmate Population Statistics
The clearest current local figure found in the research is the official roster count returned by the sheriff's public Zuercher inmate API during inspection on June 16, 2026. That inspection returned 152 current records. The most useful capacity figure located was a 108-bed reported capacity from Vera and related jail-data profile material using 2020-era jail data. Because the sheriff's own pages did not publish a current rated capacity, the capacity figure should be read as a high-authority profile figure, not as a current sheriff-issued rating.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Current public roster count | 152 records | Official Zuercher inmate load endpoint, inspected June 16, 2026 |
| Reported bed capacity | 108 beds | Vera and jail-data profile context using 2020 jail data |
| Capacity comparison | About 141% of reported capacity | Calculated from the 152 roster count and 108-bed profile figure |
| Annual bookings | Not located | No sheriff annual booking count found in reviewed official pages |
| Average daily population | Not located | No local ADP report found in reviewed sources |
Assumption Parish Inmate Population Trends
Assumption Parish does not publish a clean public annual jail-population table in the official pages reviewed for this build. That limits any trend claim. The reliable local comparison is narrower: a 2020 profile capacity of 108 beds, paired with an observed live roster count of 152 records on June 16, 2026. That comparison supports a careful capacity discussion, but it should not be overstated as a formal overcrowding finding or a yearly average.
| Year or Date | ADP / Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 108-bed capacity profile | High-authority jail profile context, not a current sheriff-published capacity page |
| 2023 | No clean parish ADP found | LCLE jail-standards material gives state oversight context, not a local ADP table |
| June 16, 2026 | 152 current roster records | Official sheriff Zuercher public roster API inspection |
Assumption Parish Jail Population Makeup
The public roster does not publish a complete demographic report, but its fields show what the sheriff makes searchable for the current jail population. The public configuration supports race and sex filters, and roster rows can show date of birth instead of only age. The roster also includes a juvenile visibility setting, but the public setup does not generally display juvenile records. For that reason, public counts drawn from the roster should not be treated as a full demographic census.
- Race filters: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Unknown, and White.
- Sex filters: Female, Male, and Unknown are available in the public roster interface.
- Housing clues: active labels include A-H blocks, DOC Dorm, Pre-Trial Dorm, Med Room, Search Room, S Cells, T Cells, and other APSO areas.
- Agency holds: the source list includes Louisiana DOC, U.S. Marshals, DHS/ICE, Louisiana State Police, nearby sheriffs, and local police agencies.
Assumption Parish Jail Capacity
The Assumption Parish Detention Center capacity issue needs cautious wording. The research found a 108-bed reported capacity in high-authority jail-profile material, while the official public roster returned 152 current records on June 16, 2026. That is about 141 percent of the reported profile capacity. Yet no official 2024 to 2026 sheriff capacity page, jail construction release, consent decree, or local conditions litigation source was found. The page can state the observed comparison, but it should not claim a legal overcrowding finding without a source.
Data caution: The 152-record count is a live roster observation, while the 108-bed figure comes from older profile data. Confirm current rated capacity with the sheriff before citing it as official.
Laws for Assumption Parish Inmate Records
Louisiana public-records law is the starting point for Assumption Parish jail and booking records, but it does not make every law-enforcement file public in full. A current roster row may be public while an investigative report, juvenile record, victim detail, protected source, or pending prosecution file remains limited. The safest reading is practical: use the sheriff roster for current custody, use a public-records request for older or deeper booking material, and use the clerk and district attorney path for filed court charges.
Key Statutes:
La. R.S. 44:1 defines public records broadly, which supports access to many sheriff, clerk, and parish records unless an exception applies.
La. R.S. 44:32 covers public-record examination, copying procedures, and reasonable fees.
La. R.S. 44:3 creates law-enforcement and prosecutive-record exceptions for certain pending or protected material.
La. Code Crim. Proc. art. 971 defines expungement as a court-ordered access restriction, not automatic deletion of every agency record.
Assumption Parish State Prison Transfers
No Louisiana state prison was identified inside Assumption Parish. Still, state corrections is part of the Assumption Parish inmate population story because people sentenced from parish court may move into the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections. The Assumption roster also contains agency options for Louisiana DOC, probation, and parole. That means a person may appear locally as a DOC hold before transfer, then disappear from the parish roster after sentencing or placement.
| Custody Stage | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Local arrest or pretrial custody | Assumption Parish Zuercher inmate roster | Current parish jail records and hold reasons |
| Sentenced state custody | Louisiana DPS&C locator instructions and VINELink Louisiana | State custody location, status, and notifications |
| Federal sentence | Federal BOP Inmate Locator | Federal Bureau of Prisons custody and some released federal records |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Immigration detention location by A-number or biographical search |
Search Assumption Parish Inmates
The official local lookup starts with the sheriff's public portal page, which routes users to the Zuercher inmate and warrant tools. The inmate roster is free and did not require a login during inspection. It works best when the search starts with a last name, then narrows by race or sex only if needed. For common names, date of birth, cell block, arrest date, and hold reason text help separate records.
The Assumption Parish inmate roster source screen shows the public search interface used for current custody.
The roster screenshot reflects the same name, race, and sex search path described in the research, while detailed custody questions still need the sheriff or jail when a record is unclear.
- Open the sheriff's public portal and choose Inmates.
- Start with the Name field, using a surname first if spelling is uncertain.
- Add Race or Sex only when the name search returns too many possible matches.
- Read the row for DOB, cell block, arrest date, mugshot, and hold-reason text.
- If no record appears, call the jail, then check DOC, VINELink, BOP, or ICE based on the likely custody type.
Assumption Parish Roster Search Fields
The current public interface exposes fewer filters than the underlying Zuercher template supports. Name, race, and sex are the public-facing filters documented in the active configuration. Other fields, such as cell block, arrest date, held-for agency, in-custody date, and release date, exist in template or source data but were not exposed as active public filters during inspection. Results still can show many of those details in the row itself.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | No | Free-text name search, best started with surname. |
| Race | Dropdown | No | All plus race options such as Black or African American, White, Asian, Unknown, and other listed categories. |
| Sex | Dropdown | No | All, Female, Male, and Unknown. |
| Cell Block | Template dropdown | Not currently exposed | Options in source data include APSO blocks, DOC Dorm, Pre-Trial Dorm, Med Room, S Cells, and T Cells. |
| Held For Agency | Template dropdown | Not currently exposed | Source list includes APSO, Louisiana DOC, U.S. Marshals, DHS/ICE, State Police, and other agencies. |
Past Assumption Parish Inmate Records
The sheriff roster is a current-custody tool, not a complete historical booking database. The research did not locate a public retention period for released Assumption Parish records, and inspected current records had blank release-date fields. For a prior booking, older mugshot, jail incident record, or booking detail no longer shown online, the stronger route is a written public-records request to the sheriff's records custodian or public contact address. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, case or booking number if known, the exact records requested, and the preferred delivery method.
If a person was sentenced and transferred, a missing parish roster entry may be normal. Search Louisiana DOC and VINELink for state custody. Use the BOP locator for sentenced federal custody. Use ICE's locator for immigration detention. A federal pretrial detainee may be under U.S. Marshals authority and may not appear in BOP until after sentencing.
What Assumption Parish Inmate Records Show
A public Assumption Parish inmate row can carry more than a name. The Zuercher configuration shows mugshots, demographic fields, arrest date, cell block, and hold-reason text. Hold reasons are especially important because they may list the statute, offense wording, bond type, bond amount, no-bond language, detainer notes, or judge/bond-setter. Those entries are jail custody data, not final court outcomes.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | Booking photo when available, or a placeholder icon when no photo is displayed. |
| Name | Roster name, usually in last-name-first format. |
| Race / Sex / DOB | Identifiers used to distinguish people with similar names. |
| Cell Block | Housing label inside the Assumption Parish Detention Center when populated. |
| Arrest Date | Date tied to the current booking or hold. |
| Held For Agency | Responsible agency when the row includes that data. |
| Hold Reasons | Charge text, statute, bond, detainer, and judge notes when available. |
Assumption Parish Bond and Holds
Roster hold reasons should be read line by line. Research samples included surety bond entries with amounts, hold-without-bond language, detainer text, and judge-set bond notes. A person can have one bondable local charge but remain in custody because of another parish warrant, a probation or parole hold, a Louisiana DOC detainer, a U.S. Marshals matter, or a DHS/ICE hold. Bond should be confirmed with the jail or court before money changes hands.
- Surety bond
- A licensed bail agent posts security under court-approved terms.
- Cash bond
- Money is posted directly under the court or jail's accepted process.
- No-bond hold
- Release is not available through ordinary bond until the hold changes.
- Detainer
- Another agency asks the jail to hold or notify before release.
Assumption Parish Detention Facility
The facility map resolves to one local jail page. No state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or separate parish work-release annex was identified inside Assumption Parish. The local jail page should therefore be used for the building, while lookup pages explain later transfer paths.
- Assumption Parish Detention Center holds local arrestees, pretrial detainees, parish-sentenced inmates, and people held for other agencies in Napoleonville.
