St. Charles Parish Jail Roster
The St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office publishes the local jail roster for the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center through Zuercher. The official roster link page points users to the portal, and the portal configuration identifies the public page as "St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office / Nelson Coleman Correctional Center / Jail Roster." Sheriff Greg Champagne leads the Sheriff's Office, and the jail is the local custody point for pretrial detainees, parish sentences, and people held for other listed agencies.
The roster is limited to current public custody information. The configuration says juveniles are not shown, date of birth is displayed as age, hold reasons are shown, and the in-custody limit is current inmates as of today. A person transferred to Louisiana Department of Corrections custody, released from the parish jail, or held in a federal system may not appear on the St. Charles Parish inmate roster.
The official Sheriff jail roster link page is the local entry point.
That page routes users to the public roster rather than hosting a separate jail list.
Use St. Charles Parish Inmate Search
The roster works best when used as a live custody check, then confirmed by phone for questions the public portal does not answer. If the result involves a recent arrest, a court date, or a charge, the jail record may be only one part of the larger arrest-to-court process. Filed charges and later case outcomes are handled through court and clerk records, not the jail roster itself.
- Open the Zuercher inmate roster portal.
- Filter by name first, then use race, sex, arrest date, held-for agency, custody status, or release date if needed.
- Review the visible result columns, including name, race, sex, age, arrest date, and mugshot.
- Open the profile or result detail when available to check hold reasons, agency, cell block, or release data.
- Call Corrections at (985) 783-1164 for custody questions that the roster does not answer.
Note: St. Charles Parish inmate records on the roster are custody records, not proof of conviction.
St. Charles Parish Roster Fields
The jail roster search form allows optional filters rather than a single required field. That helps when a person has a common name, a spelling variation, or a recent arrest date. It also means a search can miss a record if the person is no longer in parish custody or is held under a record category excluded from public display.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text/filter | Optional | Search or filter by inmate name. |
| Race | Dropdown/filter | Optional | Includes American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Unknown, White, and inactive Not Specified. |
| Sex | Dropdown/filter | Optional | Female, Male, Unknown, with inactive Not Specified. |
| In Custody | Checkbox/filter | Optional | Portal limit indicates current inmates as of today. |
| Arrest Date | Date/filter | Optional | Date field for arrest date. |
| Held For Agency | Dropdown/filter | Optional | Examples include SCPSO, Parish Prison, DOC, U.S. Marshal Service, Bureau of Prisons, FBI, and local agencies. |
| Release Date | Date/filter | Optional | Used for released inmates if available. |
The official jail roster portal is shown below.
The portal fields are the strongest official source for what a public St. Charles Parish inmate lookup can search.
What St. Charles Parish Inmate Records Show
The official portal endpoint lists the fields behind the public inmate profile. Public result columns include name, race, sex, age, arrest date, and mugshot. The profile inventory also includes cell block, held-for agency, hold reasons, juvenile flag, release date, and total record count. Because the portal displays date of birth as age, users should avoid treating age as a full identity match without confirmation.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The listed person in custody or in the roster result. |
| Race and sex | Identity filters and public result descriptors. |
| Age | Date of birth is displayed as age in the public roster. |
| Arrest date | The arrest date connected to the custody record. |
| Held for agency | The agency responsible for the hold, such as SCPSO, DOC, or a federal agency. |
| Cell block | Housing location when shown by the public profile. |
| Mugshot | Public booking image when available. |
| Hold reasons | Charge, warrant, custody, or agency reasons tied to the jail hold. |
| Release date | Release data if the portal record includes it. |
| Juvenile flag | Juveniles are configured not to show publicly. |
St. Charles Parish Jail Facility
The Nelson Coleman Correctional Center is the local St. Charles Parish jail facility. The Sheriff's Corrections page says it opened June 15, 2001, has a 600-inmate capacity, averages about 550 inmates, and is staffed by about 150 deputies, clerical, and medical personnel. The same page confirms video arraignment and video visitation, both described as ways to reduce inmate transport and reduce contraband risks.

The Sheriff Corrections page is the source for facility capacity, hours, and video visitation references.
Facility facts are official, but the public pages reviewed did not publish a full visitor schedule or deposit vendor.
St. Charles Parish Visitation Details
The Sheriff's Office confirms video visitation and video arraignment for Nelson Coleman Correctional Center. It does not publish a complete public visitation schedule, mail rule page, commissary vendor, phone vendor, dress code, child visitor rule, or attorney visit procedure in the accessible official pages reviewed. For that reason, the safest official path is to call Corrections before visiting, sending mail, setting up calls, or depositing money.
| Topic | Officially Located Detail |
|---|---|
| Video visitation | Confirmed by the Sheriff's Corrections page. |
| Video arraignment | Confirmed by the Sheriff's Corrections page. |
| In-person schedule | No official public schedule found. |
| Remote or on-site vendor | No official vendor found. |
| Visitor ID rules | No official public visitor ID rules found. |

Note: Call (985) 783-1164 before any visit because the official public pages did not list daily visit windows.
Mail, Phone, and Commissary
No official St. Charles Parish jail mail format, prohibited-mail list, legal-mail rule, commissary deposit vendor, kiosk process, phone vendor, rate page, tablet program, or messaging program was found in accessible sheriff sources. The page should not infer Securus, GTL, JPay, AccessCorrections, HomeWAV, or any other vendor without an official St. Charles Parish source.
| Topic | Official Status |
|---|---|
| Inmate mail format | No official mail-format page found. |
| Prohibited mail | No official prohibited-mail list found. |

Statewide Inmate Lookup Channels
St. Charles Parish inmate records stop being the best source when a person leaves the parish jail for state custody or when the need is notification rather than roster lookup. Louisiana Department of Corrections imprisoned-person information and VINELink Louisiana are the two statewide channels documented in the research. These systems serve different user needs than the local jail roster.
The Louisiana DOC offender information page is the state custody source.
Use DOC information when the person is no longer held only by the parish jail.
The VINELink Louisiana page supports custody search and notification needs.
VINELink is useful for notification, but it is not the Clerk's criminal case record or a court disposition source.
St. Charles Parish Sheriff App
The public St. Charles Parish Sheriff app is documented as a reporting and public-safety tool, not as an app-only inmate search. Store descriptions list reporting crimes, submitting tips, interactive features, and public safety news or information. They also warn that the app is not for emergencies, which must go to 911. The internal employee app mentions active warrants, but that is not a public inmate lookup channel.
The Apple App Store listing for the St. Charles Parish Sheriff app is shown below.
Use the app for public-safety information and tips, while inmate custody lookup remains with the jail roster and Corrections phone line.
St. Charles Parish Inmate Record Limits
Public inmate records can overlap with arrest records and court charge records, but they are not the full criminal case file. Hold reasons may identify why a person is in custody. Filed bills of information, arraignment minutes, pleas, disposition, and sentencing are court records. For the arrest-to-charge path, use the jail roster with the St. Charles Parish arrest records and court charges when a case moves from custody to prosecution.
Booking data not shown publicly may require contact with the Sheriff's Office or Corrections. Pending investigative material may be restricted under Louisiana R.S. 44:3. Juveniles are not shown on the public roster. These limits are part of the official access framework, not an error in the St. Charles Parish inmate search portal.
