Where to Ask First
For Washington Parish Jail custody, begin with the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office in Franklinton. The jail and main sheriff's office are listed at 1002 Main Street, Franklinton, LA 70438, phone (985) 839-3434. WPSO also lists a Bogalusa office at 302 Mississippi Avenue, Bogalusa, LA 70427, phone (985) 661-2021. Office hours published in WPSO materials are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Call 911 for emergencies.
WPSO Criminal Records handles reports, background checks, fingerprints, citations and fines, court orders, warrants, subpoenas, and property-seizure paperwork. Fingerprinting is listed for Monday and Wednesday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, and Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Published fees include accident or incident reports at $10 each, background checks at $10 each, fingerprint cards at $10 per card, Livescan at $41, and Livescan FBI at $54.25.
- For someone in the parish jail, use the jail inmate records page and then call WPSO if the roster is unclear or the arrest is very recent.
- For booking photos, start with jail roster mugshots and ask WPSO Criminal Records about release rules when the person is no longer on the current roster.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, the Washington Parish Clerk of Court, and the 22nd Judicial District Court calendar.
- For a specific facility, use Washington Parish Jail for parish custody, Bogalusa City Jail for immediate municipal holds, and B.B. Rayburn Correctional Center for state prison custody.
- For sentenced state custody, use Louisiana VINE or the Louisiana DPS&C phone locator at (225) 383-4580.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
The Washington Parish Clerk of Court is at PO Box 607, 908-B Washington Street, Franklinton, LA 70438, phone (985) 839-4663. The clerk lists a $20 criminal search fee by name. The 22nd Judicial District Attorney's Washington office is at 905 Pearl Street, Franklinton, LA 70438, phone (985) 839-6711, with Washington office hours listed Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 4:00. The Washington Parish Government public-records form should not be used for sheriff or law-enforcement records because the parish form says those records are not maintained by parish government.
