Assumption Parish Detention Center Overview
Assumption Parish Detention Center is the primary local jail identified in the facility map for Assumption Parish. It is operated by the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office and sits in Napoleonville, the parish seat. The sheriff's site does not publish a separate detailed jail handbook in the pages reviewed. Instead, custody visibility comes through the public portal and the current inmate roster. That makes the roster the main public tool for checking who is held in the building.
The facility type is a parish jail or detention center. It is used for arrests made by the sheriff's office, Napoleonville Police Department, Louisiana State Police, and other agencies that route people into Assumption Parish custody. It can also show people held for Louisiana DOC, U.S. Marshals, DHS/ICE, nearby law-enforcement agencies, or other holds listed in the roster's held-for-agency source data. A local custody row can therefore reflect a local charge, an outside warrant, a state hold, or a federal or immigration detainer.
Assumption Parish Detention Center Population
The current sheriff pages reviewed did not publish an official rated-capacity page for Assumption Parish Detention Center. Research located a 108-bed reported capacity from Vera and high-authority jail-profile material using 2020 data. The official Zuercher public roster API returned 152 current records during inspection on June 16, 2026. Those two figures are useful together, but they come from different source types and dates. Treat the count as a roster observation and the bed count as a profile figure unless the sheriff confirms a current rated capacity.
| Measure | Local Finding |
|---|---|
| Operator | Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office |
| Facility type | Local jail, pretrial custody, short-sentence custody, and other-agency holds |
| Capacity source | 108 beds reported in 2020 profile data, not found on sheriff's current pages |
| Current roster source | 152 records returned by official Zuercher roster API on June 16, 2026 |
Lookup Assumption Parish Detention Center Inmates
Current Assumption Parish Detention Center custody is searched through the sheriff's Zuercher inmate roster. The sheriff's own public portal page directs users to the inmate and warrant tools. The roster is for local custody, so it should be searched before state or federal systems when the arrest is recent. If the person has been sentenced, transferred, or held only under another authority, the local roster may not be the final source.
- Open the sheriff's public portal and choose the Inmates route.
- Search by name first, using a surname when the full spelling is uncertain.
- Use race or sex filters only when the name returns multiple possible matches.
- Read the row for mugshot, DOB, cell block, arrest date, and hold reasons.
- Call the jail at 985-369-7283 if a new booking is missing or a hold reason is unclear.
The public configuration lists Name, Race, and Sex as the active search filters. It also shows that roster rows can include name, race, sex, DOB, cell block, arrest date, and mugshot. Hold-reason text may include charge statutes, offense labels, bond type, bond amount, detainer language, and judge notes.
Assumption Parish Detention Center Address

Visiting Assumption Parish Detention Center
No official detailed visitation schedule, video-visitation vendor, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit page, or holiday-lockdown notice was located on the sheriff pages reviewed. The accurate local instruction is to find the inmate first, note the exact roster name and date of birth, then call the jail. Ask whether visits are in person or video, what identification is required, whether the person is eligible for visits, and whether any lockdown or court movement affects the visit.
| Visit Topic | Local Finding | Action Before Travel |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not located in official pages reviewed | Call the jail before leaving |
| Video visitation | No official vendor or schedule located | Ask whether video visits are available |
| Visitor ID | Not published in located pages | Confirm required government ID |
| Dress code and items | Not published in located pages | Ask what clothing and items are barred |
| Attorney visits | No local policy page located | Attorneys should contact jail or court directly |
Mail and Money at Assumption Parish Detention Center
The research did not locate an official mail-format policy, inmate-phone provider, video provider, commissary vendor, online-deposit vendor, lobby-kiosk notice, deposit limit, or fee table. That absence matters because jail money and mail rules are strict. Do not assume a vendor, fee, or delivery method based on another parish. Use the roster to confirm the person is still held, then call the jail for the current identifier and instructions.
| Service | What Was Found | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address format | Not located in official pages reviewed | Inmate full name, any booking or cell identifier, and mailing rules |
| Prohibited items | Not locally published | Do not send cash, packages, staples, Polaroids, or anything unapproved |
| Money deposits | No official vendor or fee table located | Accepted payment method, fee, and inmate identifier |
| Phone or video accounts | No provider located | Current phone/video account setup and rates |
Note: Confirm custody and deposit rules with the jail before sending money, mail, or account payments.
Booking at Assumption Parish Detention Center
Local booking begins after an arrest by the sheriff's office, Napoleonville Police Department, Louisiana State Police, or another agency. Intake can include transport, search, identity confirmation, fingerprints, booking photo, property inventory, screening, charge or hold entry, bond entry, classification, and housing assignment. The roster's held-for-agency list shows that the jail can track local agencies, Louisiana DOC, U.S. Marshals, DHS/ICE, and other parish or city agencies.
A same-day arrest may not appear at once. The person may still be in transport, in intake, at court, or held under a name spelling that differs from the search. If the person is not found, call the jail rather than assuming release. If the person was sentenced or transferred, search Louisiana DOC and VINELink. If the row says U.S. Marshals or DHS/ICE, federal or immigration release authority may control the next step.
Assumption Parish Detention Center Housing Labels
The public roster configuration gives unusually specific local housing labels. Active labels include APSO A Block through H Block, DC2, DOC Dorm, Dorm Room, Lafourche TWP 1, Lafourche TWP 2, Med Room, Pre-Trial Dorm, S Cells, Search Room, and T Cells. Female Dorm appeared in the source list but was marked inactive during inspection. These labels are roster facts. They should not be turned into claims about programs, medical care, or work release unless the jail confirms those meanings.
- Cell block
- A housing label in the jail roster, used to identify where a person is assigned.
- Pre-Trial Dorm
- A roster housing label suggesting pretrial housing, without a published policy page explaining exact criteria.
- DOC Dorm
- A roster housing label connected to state-custody or DOC-related holds, not a state prison page.
- Med Room
- A roster housing label. It does not publish medical details about an inmate.
Assumption Parish Detention Center Transfers
The facility is local, but not every custody question stays local. A person sentenced from Assumption Parish may later appear in the Louisiana DPS&C locator or VINELink Louisiana. A sentenced federal prisoner belongs in the BOP locator. An immigration detainee should be checked through the ICE Online Detainee Locator. A U.S. Marshals pretrial hold may not be listed in BOP until after sentencing.
| If the Record Says | Likely Next Check |
|---|---|
| Local charge or parish warrant | Assumption Parish roster, jail phone, clerk, and 23rd Judicial District Attorney path |
| Louisiana DOC, probation, or parole | Louisiana DPS&C and VINELink after transfer or sentencing |
| U.S. Marshals | Confirm with jail and federal district routing, then BOP after federal sentencing |
| DHS/ICE | ICE detainee locator and jail confirmation for local physical custody |
