Official Assumption Parish Inmate Search
The official current inmate lookup for Assumption Parish is the sheriff's Zuercher public roster at Assumption Parish Zuercher Inmates. The sheriff also routes users there from the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office public portal page. During inspection on June 16, 2026, the inmate route was free, did not require a public login, and returned live roster records through the public portal. It is the first place to check for a person booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center.
The roster is not a full criminal case file. It is a custody record. A row can show who is currently held, where the person is housed inside the jail, when the arrest was entered, and why the person is being held. Court filings, police reports, prosecution decisions, and older booking records may require the clerk, district attorney, sheriff records custodian, or a Louisiana public-records request. For facility context, the local jail is the Assumption Parish Detention Center in Napoleonville.
The public inmate roster interface shows the working Assumption Parish jail roster screen with name, race, and sex filters.
The screenshot reflects the public search path, while the live roster itself remains the source to verify current custody.
Use the Assumption Parish Roster
Start with the name field. The public system uses one free-text name box rather than separate first-name and last-name fields, so a surname is often the best first search. Add race or sex only when a common name returns too many results. The Search and Reset buttons control the public form. If a new arrest does not appear yet, allow time for transport, intake, identity work, and booking entry before treating the absence as proof that the person was released.
- Open the sheriff public portal and choose the Inmates route, or go directly to the current inmate roster.
- Enter a name. Use fewer letters if the spelling may be wrong or if the person uses a middle name or suffix.
- Use Race or Sex only as a narrowing tool after the name search returns too many rows.
- Read the row for name, race, sex, DOB, cell block, arrest date, and mugshot when available.
- Open or expand the hold-reasons text, because that is where charge, bond, detainer, and judge notes may appear.
- If the person is not found, call the jail and then check the state, federal, or immigration locator that matches the custody path.
Same-day custody questions should be confirmed by phone. The jail and sheriff line used in the facility listings is 985-369-7283, and the sheriff's contact page is the local routing point for in-person or records questions. Ask for jail or booking staff when the issue is custody, release timing, bond posting, property, or a record that is not visible online.
Assumption Parish Roster Fields
The Zuercher configuration inspected for Assumption Parish shows three current public filters and several additional fields that the template supports but does not expose as public filters right now. That difference matters. A user can see cell-block or hold details in a result, but cannot currently search the public roster by every internal field the system stores.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | No | Free-text name search. The public label is Name. |
| Race | Dropdown | No | Includes All, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Unknown, and White. |
| Sex | Dropdown | No | Includes All, Female, Male, and Unknown. |
| Cell Block | Dropdown | Not exposed | Template supports it. Options include APSO A-H Blocks, DOC Dorm, Dorm Room, Med Room, Pre-Trial Dorm, S Cells, Search Room, and T Cells. |
| Arrest Date | Date | Not exposed | Template supports it, but the public filters inspected did not include it. |
| Held For Agency | Dropdown | Not exposed | Source data includes APSO, Louisiana DOC, U.S. Marshals, DHS/ICE, Louisiana State Police, and other agencies. |
| In Custody On | Date | Not exposed | Template support exists. The portal setting limited current custody date behavior. |
| Release Date | Date | Not exposed | The template supports release date, but current inspected records had blank release dates. |
Read Assumption Parish Inmate Records
Assumption Parish inmate records are most useful when the roster row and the hold-reasons text are read together. The row identifies the person and the custody setting. The detail text may explain the charge, statute, bond type, bond amount, detainer, no-bond language, or judge who set bond. The public configuration inspected on June 16, 2026 listed available columns for name, race, sex, DOB, cell block, arrest date, and mugshot, and the portal setting for hold reasons was enabled. The public configuration uses DOB rather than age, and juvenile visibility is limited, so do not assume that juvenile data is complete or public.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | Booking photo when available. Records without a photo may show a generic portal icon. |
| Name | Roster name, generally in last-name-first format. |
| Race / Sex / DOB | Public identifiers that help separate same-name records. |
| Cell Block | Housing label inside the Assumption Parish Detention Center when the field is populated. |
| Arrest Date | Date tied to the current booking or hold entry. |
| Held For Agency | Agency responsible for the hold when that field is populated. |
| Hold Reasons | Charge text, statute, bond, detainer, no-bond hold, and judge or bond notes when available. |
| Release Date | Release date if the system includes one. It was blank for inspected current-custody records. |
Custody note: A roster charge or hold reason is not a conviction, and formal court charges can change after prosecutor review.
Assumption Parish Jail Contact
The Assumption Parish Detention Center is the only local jail facility identified for this project. It holds local arrestees, pretrial detainees, parish-sentenced inmates, and people held for other agencies. The public roster uses APSO housing labels such as A Block, D Block, DOC Dorm, Pre-Trial Dorm, Med Room, Search Room, S Cells, and T Cells. Those labels should be treated as custody-location clues, not as a public tour of the building.
Assumption Parish Detention Center
233 LA-1008
Napoleonville, LA 70390
985-369-7283
Call before visiting, sending mail, posting bond, or paying any jail-related cost.
Use this contact path when the online record is missing, unclear, or too new to rely on. Ask whether the person is still in custody, whether any outside agency controls release, whether bond can be posted at the facility, and what record request process applies to older booking records. If the roster says detainer, U.S. Marshals, DHS/ICE, or Louisiana DOC, the jail may be holding the person while another agency controls part of the case.
Assumption Parish Visit Records
No official detailed visitation schedule, video visitation vendor, mail policy, commissary vendor, inmate phone provider, or local fee table was located on the sheriff pages reviewed. The correct build for Assumption Parish is a verified-contact workflow. Find the inmate first, write down the exact roster name and DOB, then call the jail before travel or payment. Do not rely on a generic Louisiana jail schedule for this facility.
| Topic | Local Finding | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | No official schedule located | Visit days, arrival time, visitor list rules, ID, dress code, and lockdown changes. |
| Video visits | No official vendor located | Whether video visits are offered and which platform, if any, is used. |
| No local mail-format policy located | Inmate name format, booking or cell identifier, prohibited items, and legal mail routing. | |
| Money and commissary | No vendor or fee table located | Deposit methods, fees, limits, lobby kiosk status, and whether funds are accepted online. |
| Phone service | No provider located | Account setup, rates, blocks, and whether calls are collect or prepaid. |
Do not send cash, packages, Polaroids, staples, contraband, or payment to a vendor until the jail confirms the current rule. Official local sources did not publish a fee schedule, so any fee amount should be verified with jail staff or the current provider before money changes hands.
Booking in Assumption Parish
Local booking starts when the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office, Napoleonville Police Department, Louisiana State Police, or another agency brings a person to the Assumption Parish Detention Center. The normal flow is arrest, transport, intake search, identity confirmation, fingerprints, booking photo, property inventory, screening, charge or hold entry, bond or no-bond entry, classification, and housing assignment. The roster's agency list confirms that the jail may process local cases and outside holds.
New bookings do not always appear the instant an arrest occurs. Transport, ID work, medical or mental-health screening, and data entry all take time. If a person was just arrested and the Assumption Parish inmate records search is blank, call the jail before assuming the person is not in custody. For property pickup, medicine questions, phone setup, and post-release property rules, the research found no public local handbook, so jail staff should verify the current process.
- Booking
- The administrative intake after arrest, including identity work, photo, property, and jail entry.
- Detainer
- A hold request from another agency, such as Louisiana DOC, U.S. Marshals, or DHS/ICE.
- Classification
- The jail's housing and security assignment process after intake.
- Hold reason
- The roster text that explains a charge, bond status, warrant, detainer, or no-bond basis.
Assumption Parish Custody Paths
The Assumption Parish jail roster covers current local custody. It does not replace Louisiana state prison records, VINELink notifications, federal prison records, U.S. Marshals pretrial routing, or ICE immigration custody searches. A person may begin in the parish jail and then move to another system after sentencing, transfer, detainer action, or federal case processing.
| Custody Question | Where to Search | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current parish jail custody | Assumption Parish Zuercher roster | New bookings, pretrial holds, local sentences, cell block, mugshot, and hold reasons. |
| State sentenced custody | Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C), Corrections Services | Sentenced prisoners, DOC custody location, and state prison routing. |
| Custody notification | Louisiana VINELink person search | Release or transfer notification after a person is located. |
| Sentenced federal custody | Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator | Federal prisoners after BOP intake, plus many released federal records. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Immigration custody by A-number or biographical search. |
No official Assumption Parish sheriff mobile app was located in the app-store checks for this research. Use the sheriff website, public portal, jail phone line, written public-records request, Louisiana DPS&C/VINELink, BOP, and ICE channels instead.
Request Assumption Parish Booking Records
When the online roster does not show the record needed, use a written public-records request to the sheriff's office records custodian or the official contact route. Identify the person, date of arrest, booking or case number if known, record type requested, and preferred delivery method. Louisiana public-records law starts with broad access under La. R.S. 44:1 and provides copy and examination procedures under La. R.S. 44:32.
Law-enforcement records can have limits. La. R.S. 44:3 allows exceptions for certain investigative and prosecutive records, protected sources, juvenile information, and pending-investigation details. If a request is denied or delayed in a way the requester believes is unlawful, La. R.S. 44:35 describes enforcement procedures. For court dispositions after the arrest, use the clerk and court record path rather than the jail roster.
Note: Confirm custody, release authority, payment methods, and visit status with the jail before driving to Napoleonville or sending money.
