Bienville Record Contacts

A release question belongs with the office that held the person or created the record. Bienville Parish has separate contacts for the jail docket, the criminal court file, state corrections history, and post-release supervision. Calling the correct office first can prevent a trip to the jail when the needed record is kept at the courthouse.

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking or court record.

Local Jail and Court Contacts

Use the sheriff for the jail docket, booking entry, release time, release authority, transfer destination, and booking photograph. The physical jail and administrative records contact use different addresses, so call before an in-person visit.
