Jackson Parish Correctional Center Overview
Jackson Parish Correctional Center is located at 327 Industrial Drive in Jonesboro. The Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections Jackson Parish location page lists the correctional center with phone (318) 259-8799 and fax (318) 259-8363. The Jackson Parish Sheriff's Office contact materials also list a jail line at (318) 395-6400, so people checking a current local booking should keep both numbers available.
The facility operates under Jackson Parish Sheriff authority, with LaSalle Corrections involvement reflected in historical facility and ICE-contract sources. It is not just a small parish lockup. Research materials identify a mixed population that can include local pretrial detainees, sentenced parish detainees, Louisiana DPS&C local-jail prisoners, ICE detainees, and outside-agency holds when accepted. That mixed role affects search, bond, release, mail, visitation, and public-records expectations.
The ICE facility page for Jackson Parish Correctional Center is a useful source because it confirms the immigration-detention role and gives a detainee-information phone path. ICE says information for detainees housed at this facility may be requested at (318) 259-8799 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. That ICE information line does not replace the sheriff roster for local bookings, but it is important when a person may be held under immigration authority.
The screenshot below comes from the official ICE Jackson Parish Correctional Center facility page, which is one of the county-specific sources confirming the facility's immigration detention use.
Use that source alongside the sheriff roster and DPS&C locator because a single Industrial Drive address can involve different custody authorities.
Jackson Parish Correctional Center Capacity and Population
Capacity figures should be treated as dated source numbers, not as a live daily head count. An ICE November 2024 PREA audit search snippet reported a design capacity of 1,215 and a population of 988 at the time of that audit. Older sheriff, LaSalle, and facility-description materials described capacity around 1,200, while an older DOC legislative packet grouped Jackson Parish Correctional Center and the Transitional Work Program at 1,252 beds. Those numbers are close, but they are not identical and should not be merged into one timeless figure.
The current public sheriff OCV feed returned 339 visible roster entries when inspected on June 16, 2026. That count is useful for understanding what the public web roster showed that day, but it is not a verified total facility population. ICE detainees, state custody, outside-agency status, and roster-publication choices can make the public feed different from the full number of people physically housed at the correctional center.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Jackson Parish Correctional Center
Start with the official sheriff Inmates Info page for current sheriff-published roster entries. The visible roster is backed by an OCV feed at apps.myocv.com/feed/rtjb/a69271251/inmatesV2. Sampled entries showed name, age, booking date and time, bond text, and charge text. They did not show a separate facility dropdown that distinguishes JPCC, TWP, ICE, or state custody.
- Open the Jackson Parish Sheriff Inmates Info page or the Jackson Parish Sheriff, LA mobile app.
- Search or scan by name if the roster interface offers filtering, then compare age, booking date, charges, and bond lines.
- If the person may be a sentenced state prisoner, search Louisiana through VINELink, which DPS&C uses as its locate-imprisoned-person path.
- If immigration custody is possible, use ICE ODLS and call the ICE-posted JPCC line during the listed detainee-information hours.
- If the person is in federal BOP custody, search the BOP inmate locator rather than relying on the parish roster.
If no entry appears, call the sheriff jail line at (318) 395-6400 or the facility line at (318) 259-8799 before assuming the person has been released. The roster may lag, a hold may be controlled by another agency, or the person may have moved into a state, federal, or immigration locator system.
Jackson Parish Correctional Center Address and Contact
Use the correctional center number for facility, DPS&C, and ICE detention questions, and the sheriff jail line for the jail contact path posted in the sheriff's OCV contact material. Written public-records requests that are not handled through the roster should follow the sheriff public-records policy, which directs mailed written requests to the sheriff's administrative address at 150 Old Winnfield Road, Jonesboro, LA 71251.

Visiting Someone at Jackson Parish Correctional Center
No official Jackson Parish source reviewed published a complete local visitation schedule, video-visitation vendor, visitor parking rule, locker rule, dress code, or public lobby-hours table for JPCC. ICE visitation information can apply differently for immigration detainees, and the custody authority can change what a visitor must do before arrival. Call the facility before traveling, especially if the person is held under ICE, DPS&C, probation/parole, or another outside agency.
| Visitor Topic | Published Local Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Public visitation schedule | No local schedule found in official web sources reviewed | Call (318) 259-8799 before travel |
| ICE detainee visits | ICE facility page applies for immigration custody | Check ICE JPCC page and call the ICE-posted facility line |
| Identification and dress code | No Jackson-specific rule sheet located | Ask the facility what ID and clothing rules are enforced |
| Attorney visits | No local public schedule located | Attorneys should call with client and case information |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Jackson Parish Correctional Center
The research did not locate an official Jackson Parish mail rule sheet, commissary vendor, deposit fee table, telephone vendor, or video-call pricing page. The sheriff mobile app advertises inmate viewing and the ability to post bail, but the public web capture did not expose a detailed bail-payment or commissary workflow. Do not send money, packages, or time-sensitive mail until the facility confirms the correct recipient format and vendor rules.
| Service | Provider / Detail | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Address | Local format not published in sources reviewed | Name, ID number if required, housing status, and banned items |
| Phone / Video | Vendor and rates not located | Whether calls or video visits require an account |
| Money Deposit | Vendor and fees not located | Whether deposits are accepted for the specific custody type |
| Bond | Roster may show Cash/Surety, Cash Only, No Bond, N/A, or Judge notes | Call before arrival because holds can block release |
Booking and Intake at Jackson Parish Correctional Center
Jackson Parish did not publish a step-by-step booking policy, so public guidance has to come from the roster fields and the agency roles documented in the research. A local arrest can involve transport to the correctional center, identification, property inventory, security search, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprinting and booking-photo creation when required, entry of charges and bond text, classification, and housing or transfer. The public feed confirms at least name, age, booking date, booking time, bond information, and charge text.
Booking charges are not the same thing as filed court charges. After arrest, the Second Judicial District Attorney and the Jackson Parish Clerk of Court handle the criminal-court path. A charge listed on the jail roster can be amended, reduced, added to, declined, or replaced by the prosecutor's formal filing. If the concern is the court case rather than custody location, use the Jackson Parish Clerk of Court and Clerk Connect channels in addition to the jail roster.
About Jackson Parish Correctional Center
Older high-authority facility descriptions say Phase I opened October 8, 2007, and Phase II opened October 10, 2009. The building layout has been described as two buildings separated by fencing and concertina wire, with a secure staff walkway. Public facility summaries treat JPCC as a medium-security parish-level correctional center, but its scale is unusual for a rural parish because Louisiana relies heavily on local jails for state prisoners and because JPCC also has an ICE detention role.
Jackson Parish's detention corridor is concentrated around Jonesboro's Industrial Drive area. The Transitional Work Program is nearby at 287 Industrial Drive, while the Police Jury administrative building is at 160 Industrial Drive. Sheriff administration is separate at 150 Old Winnfield Road, and court records are handled at the courthouse on East Court Avenue. That geography matters because custody, records requests, and court case information are not all handled at the same counter.
DPS&C statewide reentry materials may matter for people serving state sentences locally. DPS&C describes education, literacy, GED/HSE, career and technical education, substance-abuse programming, pre-release planning, identification documents, work readiness, and community referrals across state and local-level custody. No Jackson-specific JPCC program catalog, local accreditation certificate, medical vendor list, or current consent decree was located in the official sources reviewed.
Note: Confirm custody authority, visitation eligibility, and mailing rules with JPCC before travel or deposits.
