Bossier Minimum Inmate Overview
Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office jail information identifies Bossier Minimum Security Facility as a separate sheriff facility in the Plain Dealing correctional complex. It is not a separate police jail and no separate public roster was documented for this building. Local custody searches still run through the sheriff's centralized inmate lookup, with direct facility contact used when the public profile does not answer a housing or release question.
Minimum security refers to classification and assignment, not to the seriousness of every case listed on the roster. Official source material describes this facility as minimum-security parish custody and work or program-eligible local custody as assigned by the sheriff. Work or program eligibility should not be promised for a specific person unless the jail confirms it. A person's housing level can change during custody, especially after classification review, court action, discipline, medical issues, or transfer.

Bossier Minimum Capacity Records
The sheriff's official jail information identifies Bossier Minimum Security Facility as a 248-bed facility. That number is a facility capacity figure. It is not a current population count, and it does not prove how many people are housed there on a given day. No live headcount dashboard, facility-level average daily population, annual booking count, or aggregate demographic table was located for the minimum-security building in the official sources reviewed.
| Facility Fact | Documented Detail | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Security level | Minimum security | Classification can change by person. |
| Capacity | 248 beds | Capacity is not a live custody count. |
| Population description | Minimum-security parish inmates and assigned program/work-eligible local custody | Do not infer a specific inmate's program status. |
Search Bossier Minimum Inmates
Use the Bossier Sheriff Inmate Lookup for current public Bossier Parish custody records. Static inspection showed alphabetized cards, page controls, inmate name links, image areas, "View Charges" actions, VINE notification buttons, and submit-a-tip buttons. The roster is not limited to Bossier Minimum Security Facility, so a phone call may still be needed to confirm that a listed person is housed in the minimum-security building.
- Open the sheriff inmate lookup and browse the public cards by last name.
- Use the pagination controls if the person is not on the first page.
- Open the profile to check the booking date, charge code, image area, inmate ID, and VINE link.
- Call Bossier Minimum Security Facility at 318-326-4096 if the record does not confirm housing, visit status, or release status.
Roster timing can create gaps. New bookings may not appear at once. Released or transferred people may leave the list. A person may also be in Bossier City custody, DOC custody after sentencing, federal custody, immigration custody, or another parish system. The search result should be treated as a current public roster tool, not as a full criminal history.
Bossier Minimum Roster Fields
The public profile sample inspected during research showed a practical field set for Bossier Parish jail records. Some fields are identity checks. Others are custody clues. A charge code on the jail profile is an arrest or booking-side entry, and a court charge may differ after the district attorney acts. A bond field may exist in the app metadata, but the inspected sample did not show a visible bond amount.
| Field | How to Use It |
|---|---|
| Name and inmate ID | Confirm identity before calling or making a records request. |
| Booked date | Shows when the booking record entered custody workflow. |
| Physical descriptors | Help distinguish people with similar names. |
| Charge code | Shows jail-side charge data, not always final court filing. |
| Image area | May show a photo or a missing-image placeholder. |
| VINE notification | Lets eligible users register for custody status changes. |
Bossier Minimum Visitation Rules
Visitation information for Bossier Minimum Security Facility is handled through the sheriff jail information page and the facility phone line. The sheriff jail information page covers visitation, but the exact day and hour schedule was not visible in the static capture. Visitors should confirm the active schedule, required identification, dress rules, allowed property, and any video or in-person format before traveling to Plain Dealing.
| Visit Category | Official Source | Schedule Captured | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family or social visit | Sheriff Jail Information | Not visible in static capture | Date, time, ID, dress, and visitor approval rules. |
| Attorney visit | Facility phone line | Not published in captured text | Professional visit procedure and timing. |
| DOC visit after state transfer | Louisiana DOC visitation | Statewide prison rules | Only after DOC custody begins. |
Note: Do not rely on old visit times for Bossier Minimum Security Facility; confirm the current rule set before travel.
Bossier Minimum Mail Money Bond
The documented source for mail, inmate accounts, e-bonding, and property-release instructions is the sheriff jail information page. Exact third-party fee amounts, deposit charges, and complete mail restrictions were not visible in the captured official text. For Bossier Minimum Security Facility, that means the right approach is to name the official channels, then require current confirmation before funds, mail, or bond payments are sent.
| Item | Documented Channel | Fee Captured | Caveat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmate accounts | Sheriff Jail Information | Not located | Confirm account route and vendor. |
| Phone or online deposit | Sheriff Jail Information | Not located | Do not assume a fee amount. |
| Bond or e-bond | Sheriff Jail Information | Not located | Call to confirm type, holds, and release processing. |
| Mail and property | Sheriff Jail Information | Not applicable | Follow current jail rules for names, identifiers, and allowed items. |
Bond terms should be read with care. Cash bond, surety bond, property bond, recognizance release, and no-bond holds work differently. A hold or detainer means another case or agency may block release even when a local bond is paid.
Bossier Minimum Transfer Fallbacks
Minimum-security custody can end through release, court order, reassignment to another Bossier facility, transfer to DOC after sentencing, or a hold from another agency. If a person leaves the sheriff roster, search the system that matches the next custody step. Use Louisiana VINELink and DOC offender information for state custody, the BOP inmate locator for sentenced federal prisoners, and the ICE detainee locator when immigration custody may be involved.
- Classification
- The jail process used to assign housing and security level.
- Detainer
- A request from another agency that can affect release.
- DOC transfer
- Movement from parish jail custody into Louisiana state corrections after sentence or acceptance.
- PR release
- Release on promise and conditions rather than a full cash payment.
Bossier Minimum Records Requests
The online roster is not the full booking file. Older booking information, incident reports, photo questions, and records not displayed online should be routed through the Bossier Sheriff public records request process. Louisiana public-records law supports requests to the proper custodian, but active investigations, sealed or expunged records, juvenile matters, court orders, and agency rules can limit access.
The official sheriff site also advertises the Bossier Parish LA app through Apple and Google Play. The app channel is documented, but a separate app-only roster feature was not verified. Use it as an official access route when helpful, and use facility contact or records requests when the custody question requires confirmation.
