Madison Parish Jail Overview
Louisiana DPS&C lists Madison Parish Jail at 404 East Green Street in Tallulah, with the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office as the local jail operator. The jail is the practical starting point for a recent arrest by the sheriff, Tallulah police, Louisiana State Police, or another agency that books a person into local custody. The Louisiana Sheriffs' Association directory lists Jarrate Brooks as parish jail warden and publishes the same jail phone and fax used in the DPS&C listing.
The Green Street jail should be treated as the local booking and short-term custody facility, not as a state prison. A person held here may be waiting on a first appearance, a bond decision, transport, release, or a court date in the Sixth Judicial District. If the person is sentenced to Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections custody, the lookup may shift from the local Madison LAVNS roster to the statewide DPS&C and VINELink systems.
The Madison Parish Sheriff's Office homepage identifies the sheriff's office in Tallulah and gives the local law-enforcement context for the jail. The screenshot below shows the official sheriff source used for Madison Parish Jail contact routing.
The sheriff page supports using the jail phone and sheriff office as local starting points when the online roster is unavailable or incomplete.
Madison Parish Jail Population Notes
Research did not locate a current official rated capacity for the East Green Street jail on the sheriff website or the DPS&C parish listing. That gap matters because Madison Parish has a much larger correctional footprint than the single parish jail suggests. State reporting and news coverage discuss the large Madison Parish Correctional Center and local jail contract beds, but those figures should not be assigned to Madison Parish Jail unless an official source ties them to the Green Street facility.
The safe way to read Madison Parish inmate population data is to separate local arrest custody from state-time local jail custody. Madison Parish Jail handles the local arrest lane. The larger correctional center and work program pages cover people assigned through DPS&C or local contract programs. That distinction helps prevent a false no-record result when a person has moved from booking to a different facility in Tallulah.
Look Up Madison Parish Jail Inmates
The first online channel is the Madison Parish LAVNS jail roster. Research identified it as the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office jail roster, but local inspection could not confirm every field because the page did not load during the research pass. Use cautious expectations. The roster can help confirm custody, but a missing result does not prove release, especially after a very recent arrest, transfer, spelling mismatch, or state custody move.
- Open Madison LAVNS and search by the person's name or other available identifier.
- Confirm that the location points to Madison Parish Jail or another Madison Parish facility.
- If the person does not appear, call Madison Parish Jail and ask whether the booking is pending, released, or transferred.
- For sentenced DPS&C custody, use Louisiana VINELink or the DPS&C phone locator instead of relying only on the jail roster.
| Lookup Route | Use It For | Research Note |
|---|---|---|
| Madison LAVNS | Current local jail custody | Roster identified, field details not fully inspected |
| Jail phone | Recent bookings, bond, release, and transfers | Direct number published by DPS&C and LSA |
| DPS&C/VINELink | State custody after sentencing | DPS&C says LAVNS updates every 24 hours |
| Clerk of Court | Filed charges and court records | Criminal index available through clerk channels |
Madison Parish Jail Contact
Jail contact should be used for custody status, bond routing, property questions, and current local rules. The sheriff's administrative office is nearby at the courthouse, but the jail address is a separate Green Street listing. That difference is important in Tallulah because the jail, courthouse offices, and district attorney office are close to one another.

Madison Parish Jail Visits
No sheriff-published visitation schedule, visitor dress code, child visitor rule, or video visit vendor was located for Madison Parish Jail. The research-backed answer is to call before travel. Visitors should confirm the person's current location, ask whether the jail is accepting visits that day, and verify ID, arrival, property, and attorney-visit rules before going to East Green Street.
| Visit Item | Published Status | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Public schedule | Not located | Call the jail before travel |
| Video visits | Not confirmed | Ask whether video or in-person visits are active |
| Visitor ID | Not published locally | Bring government photo ID and confirm age rules |
| Attorney visits | Not published locally | Arrange directly through the jail |
Note: Confirm the person is still at Madison Parish Jail before traveling, since local bookings can move to another Madison facility or to DPS&C custody.
Madison Parish Jail Mail Money
Mail rules were not published in the sheriff source reviewed during research. The safest mail format is the person's full legal name, Madison Parish Jail, and the jail mailing address, with a phone call first for envelopes, photos, books, money orders, and package limits. Mail and property rules can change without appearing in a public roster entry.
Tiger Commissary showed a Madison Parish service page, but exact deposit fees, limits, and refund terms were not visible without moving further into the vendor flow. Use the vendor only after confirming the person is held in the matching Madison Parish facility.
| Service | Research-Backed Detail |
|---|---|
| Use full name and jail address; call before sending books, photos, or packages | |
| Money | Tiger Commissary service located; exact fees not published in research |
| Phone | Provider not located; call the jail for current setup |
Madison Parish Jail Booking
Madison-specific intake steps were not published, but the Louisiana arrest path is clear. A person arrested locally is brought to jail or another Madison detention facility for identity checks, property inventory, fingerprints, screening, booking charge entry, and a custody decision. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 230.1 requires a prompt appearance, and in any case within 72 hours from arrest, for counsel appointment, excluding weekends and legal holidays. The court may also address bail at that stage.
The jail record is not the same as the court record. Booking may show the arrest charge or warrant basis. Filed charges, amended charges, dismissals, and court settings belong with the Madison Parish Clerk of Court and the Sixth Judicial District Attorney. For a broader roster explanation, the Madison Parish jail inmate records page covers how the custody record and court record fit together.
About Madison Parish Jail
Madison Parish Jail sits in the Tallulah courthouse area, close to the sheriff administration office, clerk, district attorney, and other local offices. Its role is local custody first. Madison Parish's larger detention system includes correctional centers and transitional work programs, which means a person physically held in Madison Parish may not be a new Madison Parish arrestee. That local pattern makes locator choice important.
Note: Use Madison LAVNS first for local jail custody, then call the jail if the online record is missing or unclear.
