What East Baton Rouge Parish Booking Records Show
East Baton Rouge Parish booking records are public under Louisiana Revised Statute 44:3(4)(a), which makes the booking of a person under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228 available to the public. The public portion of a booking record includes the person's name and identifying information, the charges filed, the booking date and time, and the location of the alleged offense.
The EBRSO inmate list and LAVINE roster both provide current custody status, booking dates, and charge information. Records tied to active criminal investigations are not public under R.S. 44:3 and can be withheld by the sheriff's office. What is always accessible is the initial booking information that documents a person's entry into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison custody.
Note: A booking is not a conviction. Everyone booked at East Baton Rouge Parish Prison is presumed innocent unless a court finds otherwise.
