Acadia Parish Detention Center Overview

The Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office Corrections page identifies the parish corrections facility as the sheriff-run jail in Crowley. It is the local custody point for APSO arrests, Crowley Police Department arrests, Rayne Police Department arrests, other municipal arrests, warrants, probation and parole detainers, Louisiana Department of Corrections holds, and some federal or immigration holds when those holds are shown in the local roster. The roster describes the covered group as people incarcerated in the APSO criminal justice facility, which is narrower than every person with an Acadia Parish court case.

The facility is a county jail, so it handles pretrial custody, short local jail terms, and holding status before a person moves to another system. It is not the Louisiana state prison locator, the BOP inmate locator, or the ICE detainee locator. When a person is sentenced to state custody, transferred to another parish, held by U.S. Marshals, or moved into immigration detention, the Acadia Parish Detention Center roster may stop being the right lookup path.

The public search system shows housing filters for intake, medical, medical holding, isolation, detox, male lockdown, female lockdown, and tier housing. Those labels are not a promise that every public record will show a cell block. They do show that the jail sorts people by intake status, health or detox needs, security restrictions, and regular housing tiers.

Acadia Parish Detention Center Population

APSO reports the correctional facility as a 190-bed jail and says the corrections operation averages 2,800 to 3,000 intakes and releases per year. The live public roster returned 185 current records on June 16, 2026. That count is best treated as a point-in-time roster count, not as an official annual average daily population. Some people may also have special holds, detainers, or transfer status that affect how the number should be read.

The roster count was close to the stated bed count on the research date, but that comparison should not be called an overcrowding finding. Official sources did not publish an average length of stay, annual booking total separate from the intake and release range, or an aggregate demographic report for the jail.

The Vera Incarceration Trends profile is a high-level source for county jail trend context when local trend tables are not published.

Use trend sources as context only unless they publish an Acadia Parish figure tied to a clear year and method.

Acadia Parish Detention Center Roster Lookup

Current local jail custody is searched through the APSO Jail Population roster. The public roster is free and does not require a public login. It searches current custody by default and includes a presumption-of-innocence notice. A roster result may show a mugshot or placeholder, name, race, sex, age, arrest date, held-for agency, release date, and hold reasons with charge or bond text.

1. Open the APSO Jail Population roster and read the notice at the top of the search page.
2. Search by name first, then remove extra filters if a common name or spelling issue blocks the result.
3. Use the held-for agency filter when the arrest may involve Crowley, Rayne, Church Point, Iota, Kaplan, Louisiana State Police, DOC, ICE, USMS, or another agency.
4. Read the hold-reasons row for warrant type, charge text, bond amount, bond type, and judge or commissioner notes when present.
5. If the person is not listed, call APSO corrections, then check the Louisiana imprisoned-person locator, BOP inmate locator, ICE detainee locator, and VINELink as the facts require.

For roster fields and release-date filtering, use the broader Jail Inmate Records lookup process.

Acadia Parish Detention Center Contact

Use the detention center phone numbers for current custody questions, recent booking checks, release timing, bond confirmation, visitor rules, and inmate-mail questions. Use the sheriff main office for broader sheriff business. For formal court filings after an arrest, contact the Acadia Parish Clerk of Court or the 15th Judicial District Attorney instead of treating a jail hold as the final charge record.

Acadia Parish Detention Center Visits

APSO did not publish a full public visitation schedule in the sources inspected. The safe process is to call corrections before traveling, confirm that the person is eligible for visits, ask whether visits are in person or video, and ask whether the visitor must be on an approved list. A government photo ID should be expected for any jail visit or counter request. Visits can be limited by lockdown, staffing, medical status, classification, court movement, or attorney access rules.

Note: A person listed in intake, medical, detox, isolation, or lockdown status may have more limits than a person in regular tier housing.

Acadia Parish Detention Center Mail

The APSO Corrections page links inmate banking, but the official sources inspected did not publish a vendor name, full deposit fee table, phone rate table, mail scanning rule, or exact inmate-mail format. Do not assume a national vendor. Before sending funds or mail, confirm the person's current booking name and any booking identifier with APSO corrections. Mail rules can reject items for missing identifiers, contraband risk, unapproved contents, or release before delivery.

Acadia Parish Detention Center Intake

Intake begins after arrest, warrant service, transfer, or another agency hold. The jail process may include identification, property inventory, medical and security screening, fingerprints, booking photo, charge and hold entry, bond entry when set, classification, and assignment to intake, medical, isolation, detox, lockdown, or tier housing. A person arrested minutes ago may still be in transport, at a hospital, at a city police department, or awaiting data entry.

Roster hold reasons are useful, but they are not final court results. The hold text can show a warrant charge, bench warrant, additional hold, detainer, DOC incarceration note, statute label, bond amount, bond type, and judicial officer. Formal filed charges and case outcomes must be checked through the Acadia Parish Clerk of Court and the prosecutor's office.
