Madison Parish Jail Roster
The public roster channel for Madison Parish inmate records is the Madison Parish LAVNS jail roster. Research identified it as the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster, but the roster page could not be fully inspected because the local browser and curl access failed with a TLS error. That matters. The confirmed facts support a cautious search path, not a promise that every profile field is visible online.
Use the roster first for people recently arrested and held by Madison Parish Jail or another Madison Parish detention facility. If the roster loads, search by the available name, location, or identifier fields and confirm the facility named on the entry. If the person was just booked, moved to a program facility, released, or transferred to state custody, the online result can lag. In that case, call Madison Parish Jail at (318) 574-1833 or the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office at (318) 574-1831.
The sheriff's site identifies Chad Ezell as sheriff, and the sheriff office contact page lists the office at 100 North Cedar Street, Courthouse Building, Room 3, Tallulah. The jail itself is listed by Louisiana DPS&C at 404 East Green Street in Tallulah. Those two addresses are close, but they serve different tasks. Jail custody questions go to the jail line. Administrative or written public-records requests go to the sheriff's records custodian.
Use Madison Parish Inmate Records
A Madison Parish inmate records search works best when each channel is used for the custody type it covers. The parish roster is for current local custody. The state locator is for Louisiana DPS&C custody. The clerk's records show court charges after arrest, not the daily jail headcount.
- Open the Madison Parish LAVNS jail roster and search with the name or identifier fields the page provides.
- If the online result is missing, call Madison Parish Jail at (318) 574-1833 and ask whether the person is in custody, recently released, or assigned to another Madison Parish facility.
- If the person has been sentenced to Louisiana DPS&C custody, use Louisiana VINELink or call the DPS&C imprisoned-person locator at 225-383-4580.
- For formal charges, court dates, and docket status after booking, use the Madison Parish Clerk of Court portal or call the clerk at (318) 574-0655.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
The statewide DPS&C offender information page says LAVNS can search by location, name, and ID or case number and is updated every 24 hours for state custody. Phone locator callers need a DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth.
Madison Parish Roster Search Fields
The exact Madison Parish roster fields were not captured during research, so the safest field table uses only the LAVNS and DPS&C fields described by official state material. These fields support both online searches and phone verification when the web roster does not show a result.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Search or filter | Optional or unspecified | DPS&C says LAVNS can search by location. Use Madison Parish or the facility if known. |
| Name | Text | Optional online | Use the full legal name when possible. The phone locator needs name plus date of birth if no DPS&C number is known. |
| ID / Case Number | Text | Optional | DPS&C describes an ID or case-number search. State custody calls use the DPS&C number. |
| Date of Birth | Identity field | Required by phone with name | Needed for the DPS&C phone locator when the number is not available. |
The Louisiana VINELink portal is the state-backed custody-status route. The Louisiana VINELink page is shown in the captured source below, and it is the same statewide system DPS&C points families and friends toward for state custody searches.
Use that statewide result with care. A person may be physically housed in Madison Parish but still be a state-sentenced person assigned through DPS&C rather than a new local arrestee.
Madison Parish Inmate Profile Fields
No sample Madison Parish LAVNS inmate profile was captured, so Madison Parish inmate records should not be described as if booking photos, bond amounts, housing units, or release dates were confirmed on the parish roster. The profile fields below are limited to what the research supports from DPS&C locator material and the Clerk of Court portal.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Custody status | Whether a person appears in a current roster or locator result, subject to update delays. |
| Name and date of birth | Identity details used to distinguish people with similar names, especially by phone. |
| DPS&C number | The unique number used for Louisiana state custody searches and phone locator calls. |
| Housing assignment | The facility assignment provided by DPS&C for people in state custody. |
| Facility address and phone | Contact details for the assigned facility when DPS&C provides them. |
| Projected release date | A state custody date if applicable and calculated by DPS&C. |
| Court index entry | Criminal or civil index information in the Madison Parish Clerk portal, not a jail housing record. |
Common jail terms can cause confusion. Booking is the administrative intake after arrest. A detainer is a hold or notice from another agency. Classification is the jail or DOC housing and security review. Work release means custody with approved job or transition activity, not freedom from custody.
Madison Parish Custody Types
Madison Parish inmate records are unusual because Tallulah has several listed detention and transitional work facilities. A local arrest at Madison Parish Jail is different from a state-sentenced person housed in a Madison Parish local jail program. A federal or ICE detainee uses another system again. The table below keeps those tracks separate.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | What It Usually Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Local arrest or pretrial jail custody | Madison LAVNS and Madison Parish Jail phone | People arrested locally, awaiting release, first appearance, bond, court, or transfer. |
| Louisiana sentenced custody | Louisiana VINELink or DPS&C phone locator | People committed to DPS&C, including those housed in Madison local jail or work-program beds. |
| Federal custody | BOP locator or U.S. Marshals Western District of Louisiana | Federal sentenced custody and some federal pretrial routing questions. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Immigration detention location checks, usually by A-number and country of birth or biographical data. |
Custody distinction: A person housed in Madison Parish is not always a Madison Parish arrestee. State custody and transitional work assignments can place people in local facilities after sentencing.

Madison Parish Booking Records
A Madison Parish arrest can be made by the sheriff, Tallulah police, Louisiana State Police, or another agency. The person is then transported for intake at Madison Parish Jail or another detention facility. Intake may include identity checks, property inventory, fingerprints, a booking photo if taken, screening, charge entry, and a custody decision. The sheriff site did not publish a local intake checklist, so those operational details should be verified by phone.
Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 230.1 requires a prompt appearance and, in any case, an appearance within 72 hours from arrest for appointment of counsel, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. At that appearance, the court may appoint counsel and determine or review bail. Formal charges and court dates then move through the clerk and district attorney systems.
For court charges after booking, the Madison Parish court records after jail arrest page separates the booking charge from the charge filed by the prosecutor.
Madison Parish Visitation Records
Madison Parish sheriff and DPS&C pages did not publish a current visitation schedule, dress code, video visit rule, phone vendor, or mail rule for the Madison facilities. That gap is important because Tallulah has several facilities with similar names and different custody roles. Call the specific facility before travel, before sending mail, and before adding commissary funds.
| Facility | Phone | Published Schedule | Records Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Madison Parish Jail | (318) 574-1833 | Not located | Call for visitation, bond, property, and mail rules. |
| Madison Parish Correctional Center | (318) 574-0584 | Not located | Confirm rules for state/local contract custody. |
| Madison Parish Detention Center (LMG) | (318) 574-0584 | Not located | DPS&C lists Warden Janorris Bonney. |
| Madison Bayou Correctional Center TWP | (318) 574-0584 | Not located | Transitional work program rules may differ from jail rules. |
| Louisiana Transitional Center for Women | (318) 574-5740 | Not located | Women's transitional work program. Call before travel. |

Madison Parish Money Channels
Tiger Commissary has a Madison Parish service page for "Madison Parish Booking and License Keys" in Tallulah. The Tiger facility selector also shows Madison Parish Bayou Correctional options. The exact service type, fees, deposit limits, and refund rules were not visible in research without moving farther into the vendor flow.
Before sending money, confirm the person's current facility and legal name. A deposit sent to the wrong Madison Parish facility can be hard to correct, and a state-sentenced person may be listed under a DPS&C pathway rather than an ordinary local jail account.
Note: Confirm custody and facility assignment before visits, mail, or funds because Madison Parish has multiple Tallulah detention listings.
