The St. John Parish Jail is a detention center located at 100 Deputy Barton Granier Dr LaPlace, LA which is operated locally by the St. John Parish Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. St. John Parish Parish accepts inmates from surrounding towns, LaPlace Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility, also known as the St. John Parish Correctional Center under the direction of Captain Greg Baker, Warden, has been a cornerstone of inmate management and care since its opening in February 1997. This 300-bed facility manages the daily operations of transporting, feeding, providing medical care, and offering adult education programs for both Parish and State inmates.
A highlight of the facility is its modern medical department, which has evolved significantly since its inception. When the facility first opened, the medical department was a modest 10’x11′ room equipped only with necessities. Today, the department has expanded to more than three times its original size and now accommodates the medical needs of approximately 360 inmates daily.
With federal assistance, the facility has enhanced its medical services by incorporating state-of-the-art equipment, including exam beds, locking medication carts, and an efficient patient medical filing system. These improvements have enabled the medical staff to provide comprehensive care and ensure high standards of health and safety for the inmate population. Committed to excellence, the team continually strives to deliver quality medical services that exceed expectations.
This combination of advanced infrastructure and dedicated staff underscores the facility’s mission to maintain a secure, humane, and rehabilitative environment for those in its custody.
Individuals unable to post bail within the first 24 hours must appear before a judge, where charges are formally presented, and bond is set. Upon arrival, detainees undergo intake procedures, including property inventory, medical screening, and booking. They are then assigned housing based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, ensuring effective management and security. Good behavior may lead to lower classifications and additional privileges, while infractions result in stricter classifications and fewer liberties. Inmates serving as trustees assist with facility tasks such as food preparation, laundry, and commissary, earning minimal compensation or sentence reductions for their efforts.
The facility is designed with "pods," which include individual cells, a common area with sturdy tables and seats, and access to an enclosed outdoor recreation space. Inmates spend designated times in their cells and communal areas, engaging in activities such as reading, playing games, or watching television. Movement beyond the pod, including visits to the commissary, library, or recreation area, is conducted under constant supervision by unarmed correctional officers. The jail environment is generally less stressful than that of a state prison, as sentences are typically shorter.
The Parish Jail offers a phone program for outgoing calls only. While collect calls can be costly, families may set up prepaid accounts through third-party services, which often include additional fees. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. All calls are recorded, so discussing sensitive legal matters is discouraged. Inmates may also receive books and magazines directly from publishers to prevent contraband, and personal letters or selfies can be sent through an app starting at $8.00.
Weekly commissary services allow inmates to order essentials, with increased spending limits on holidays. Indigent inmates are provided with basic hygiene items, stamps, and writing materials at no cost.
Select inmates may participate in community service programs, contributing valuable labor while developing job skills and accountability. These opportunities are reserved for individuals demonstrating good behavior and cooperation with facility staff. Participation in such programs not only benefits the community but can also lead to sentence reductions, encouraging inmates to maintain positive conduct during their incarceration.
