Recent Tangipahoa Parish Jail Issues

These events drew attention to the condition and staffing at the parish jail. The sheriff-elect of Tangipahoa Parish said the inmate population at the parish jail has been reduced temporarily as guards deal with the aftermath of two escapes.

Busted Mugshots and Louisiana Law
Louisiana law makes arrest records public. La. R.S. 44:1 defines mugshots and jail rosters as public records. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff follows this when posting booking photos online. You can view them for free. No explanation is needed. The state also passed La. R.S. 44:4.1 to limit commercial mugshot websites that charge people to remove their photos. This law does not affect official sheriff rosters like the one Tangipahoa Parish uses.
For full criminal history checks, the Louisiana State Police BCII handles formal requests. Under La. R.S. 15:587, some details need a written request. These reports go beyond what the free mugshot roster shows. They include prior arrests, convictions, and case outcomes from across the state.
Expungement is an option for some people. Under La. R.S. 44:9, if charges are dropped or someone is found not guilty, they may be able to get the arrest record cleared. Once a court grants expungement, the mugshot and booking data should be removed from the Tangipahoa Parish roster and other state databases.
