Madison Parish Correctional Center Overview
The Louisiana DPS&C Madison Parish directory lists Madison Parish Correctional Center at Rt. 3 Box 3, 158 Treatment Plant Road, Tallulah. Public reporting and audit snippets describe it as a large local correctional center connected to Louisiana's practice of housing state-sentenced people in local jails and privately operated facilities. The research identifies Security Management, LLC or a related contract operator in public reporting, while the parish and DPS&C sources place the facility in the Madison local jail/program network.
This facility should not be described as the ordinary first stop for every local arrest. For a new Madison Parish arrest, the Green Street Madison Parish Jail and Madison LAVNS roster are the first check. Madison Parish Correctional Center is better understood as part of the larger state/local contract custody system. A person housed there might have been sentenced, transferred, or assigned to a local-jail bed through DPS&C rather than arrested in Madison Parish.
DPS&C's parish directory screenshot is the directly matched source for this facility's listing and contact context.
The directory is also useful because it shows why Madison Parish has several similar detention and program names in the same Tallulah area.
Madison Parish Correctional Center Capacity
Madison Parish Correctional Center is the one Madison facility with a specific capacity figure in the research, but the number comes from high-authority reporting and audit snippets rather than a current official facility page. Verite reporting and BJG audit material cite an 898-bed Madison Parish Correctional Center. A BJG audit snippet also described 767 offenders assigned on an inspection day in September 2022. Those figures support a capacity note, not a promise that the same population count is current today.
The broader Madison Parish inmate population is unusual. Reporting on state prisoners held in local jails described about 1,200 state-time people in Madison Parish local jails, all in privately operated facilities. That countywide state-time figure is not the same as a current head count for Madison Parish Correctional Center, but it explains why the facility page must point readers to DPS&C and LAVNS as well as the local facility phone.
Search Madison Parish Correctional Center Custody
For Madison Parish Correctional Center, the most reliable search path depends on custody status. If the person is in ordinary local arrest custody, start with the Madison Parish LAVNS roster and the jail phone. If the person is serving state time or assigned by DPS&C, use Louisiana VINELink and the DPS&C imprisoned-person phone locator at 225-383-4580. DPS&C says LAVNS can search by location, name, and ID or case number and is updated every 24 hours for its custody data.
- Search Louisiana VINELink by name, ID or case number, or location when available.
- Check whether the facility result points to Madison Parish Correctional Center or another Tallulah facility.
- Call the facility at (318) 574-0584 for status that is not clear online.
- Use the Madison Parish Clerk of Court for filed charges if the question is about the criminal case rather than location.

Madison Parish Correctional Center Visits
No public visitation schedule was located for Madison Parish Correctional Center in the sheriff or DPS&C materials reviewed. Because the facility may house state-time or contract custody, visitation can differ from the Green Street parish jail. Approval lists, visitor identification, dress rules, work-program status, lockdowns, and housing assignments can affect whether a visit is allowed.
| Visit Topic | Published Detail | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule | Not located | Call the facility before travel |
| Approval | Not located | Ask whether state-custody approval is required |
| Identification | Not located | Bring valid photo ID and confirm age rules |
| Program restrictions | Not published | Ask whether work-release or contract status affects visits |
Note: Verify the exact facility name before visiting, since Madison Parish Correctional Center is not the same listing as the women's transitional center or the Green Street jail.

Madison Parish Correctional Center Intake
Intake at Madison Parish Correctional Center should be described as assignment or transfer intake rather than only street-arrest booking. A person may arrive from a jail, court sentence, DPS&C assignment, or local contract process. Classification means the facility reviews identity, custody level, medical or security needs, and housing placement. Work-release status, detainers, and court orders can change housing or movement rules.
Court questions still go to the court record. A person housed at Madison Parish Correctional Center may have charges from Madison Parish or another parish. The Madison Parish Clerk of Court is the local source for Madison criminal indexes, while prosecution questions route to the Sixth Judicial District Attorney. Physical location in Madison Parish does not always mean the court case began in Madison Parish.
About Madison Parish Correctional Center
Madison Parish Correctional Center is central to the local correctional footprint that makes Madison Parish different from a parish with one small jail. Verite reporting in January 2024 described Madison Parish as having about 1,200 state-time people in local jails and reported that operations for the correctional center had been contracted to LaSalle Corrections in 2014 and later to Security Management, LLC. KNOE also reported family complaints about water issues at the facility after freezing weather in January 2024. Those are reported conditions allegations, not official findings in the research file.
Note: Use DPS&C or VINELink for state custody, and call the facility when the locator does not identify the assignment clearly.
