Sabine Parish Detention Center Overview

Sabine Parish Detention Center is operated by the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office as the parish's primary male jail facility. The official sheriff research materials place it at 384 Detention Center Rd, Many, LA 71449, with detention contact through 318-256-0006 and fax contact through 318-256-4518. The official contact directory lists Captain Berlion Sweet as warden and gives b.sweet@sabinesheriff.org as the warden email contact. Sheriff Aaron Mitchell's office maintains the wider custody and records framework that supports the jail roster, public-records request process, and app-based jail information links.

The facility is a county-jail setting for male local inmates, pretrial detainees, parish inmates, warrant and hold inmates, and work-crew eligible inmates. It is not a Louisiana state prison, Bureau of Prisons institution, or ICE detention center. When a Sabine Parish arrest moves into a sentence served in Louisiana state custody, the better search channel becomes Louisiana VINELink and Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections resources. For a fresh arrest, bond question, local hold, or parish booking record, start with the sheriff roster and the detention phone line.

Sabine Parish Detention Center Capacity and Population

The sheriff's Corrections page, inspected June 16, 2026, states that the Sabine Parish Detention Center can house over 150 male inmates. The same official source separately identifies 30 spaces for female inmates at the courthouse-based women's jail. Those figures should not be flattened into a precise total bed count because the male number is published as "over 150." The direct OCV roster feed returned 200 public records when inspected June 16, 2026, but that feed count is not the same thing as a formally published average daily population or rated occupancy report.

Use the capacity figure as a facility description, not as proof of who is in custody on a particular day. A person can appear in the parish roster because of a recent arrest, a warrant, a probation or parole hold, a local charge filed by a city or parish agency, or a transfer hold. The roster is the better tool for a name-specific lookup; the capacity figure is useful for understanding the facility's local role.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Sabine Parish Detention Center

For male local custody at this facility, use the official Sabine Parish OCV Inmate Roster at apps.myocv.com/rtjb/a47471449/Inmates. The sheriff app and website also route users to the roster through the Inmate Roster feature. The public wrapper is a text-and-list feed with a search box, list entries, and load-more behavior. It does not provide advanced fields such as separate first-name, last-name, date-of-birth, charge-type, or facility filters.

1. Open the Sabine Parish OCV Inmate Roster or use the sheriff app at apps.myocv.com/share/a47471449 and choose Inmate Roster.
2. Search by visible text, usually the person's last name or full name as it appears in the list.
3. Open the matching entry and compare the booking date, gender, age, city and state, arresting agency, charges, counts, and bond amount required.
4. Confirm the person is in male parish custody before assuming the record belongs to the Detention Center; female entries use the same roster but are tied to the separate women's jail.
5. If the person has been sentenced and transferred, search Louisiana VINELink at vinelink.vineapps.com/search/LA/Person instead of relying only on the parish feed.

The roster record can show name, booking date, gender, race, age, physical descriptors, inmate ID, arresting agency, city and state, charges, counts, bond amount required, and an image when available. The inspected feed did not publish housing pod or cell, court date, release date, date of birth, judge, bond type, total bond, or a separate release-status field.

Sabine Parish Detention Center Address and Contact

Call the jail before traveling, sending paperwork, arranging a visit, or relying on a roster entry that may have changed after the feed updated. The detention line is the main custody fallback for booking, hold, bond-status, and visitor-status questions. Use the public-records channel for copies of records rather than asking the jail to treat a phone call as a formal Louisiana Public Records Law request.

Visiting Someone at Sabine Parish Detention Center

An official local visitation schedule was not located in the sheriff OCV pages inspected for this build. Do not rely on third-party day or hour claims unless the detention staff confirms them. Call 318-256-0006 before visiting to ask whether visits are currently available, whether approval is required, what identification is accepted, whether children may visit, and what property, device, or clothing restrictions apply at the entrance.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Sabine Parish Detention Center

The inspected sheriff pages did not publish a complete mail rule sheet for inmate correspondence, approved items, book delivery, scanning, legal mail handling, or return-address formatting. Use the detention phone line before sending mail or property. For communications and commissary, the sheriff Inmate Information page points users to CityTeleCoin for inmate communication and to Tiger Commissary for the male detention center commissary link.

Booking and Intake at Sabine Parish Detention Center

Local intake can begin with an arrest by the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office, Many Police, Louisiana State Police, a court-related warrant, or another agency that books through the parish jail system. The person is received, searched, photographed when a public image is available, fingerprinted or identified through the jail process, assigned an inmate ID, and entered with booking date, arresting agency, physical descriptors, charges, counts, and bond amount required. Medical screening, mental-health screening, property inventory, classification notes, housing assignment, and internal risk fields were not published in the public roster reviewed for this build.

Roster charges are booking or holding labels, not final court outcomes. A charge can be amended, dismissed, accepted as filed, reduced, or followed by a different court filing. For a related court case, use the 11th Judicial District Court and Sabine Parish Clerk of Court routes after checking the custody record. For a broader overview of custody records and fields, see the Sabine Parish jail inmate records page.

State, Federal, and Immigration Custody

Sabine Parish Detention Center is the local jail channel for male parish custody, so the parish roster is the starting point for a new booking. If the person is sentenced and moved into Louisiana state custody, use Louisiana VINELink and Louisiana DPS&C resources rather than expecting the parish roster to keep working like a state-prison profile. No Louisiana state prison was identified inside Sabine Parish in the official source set reviewed.

Federal and immigration custody also use different systems. The BOP Inmate Locator is for people in federal Bureau of Prisons custody, not ordinary parish bookings. The ICE detainee locator is for immigration detention location and status. No BOP institution or ICE detention facility was identified inside Sabine Parish during the research pass.

Records Requests for Detention Center Files

For records not visible in the roster, the sheriff publishes a public-records channel under La. R.S. 44:33.1. Requests may be sent to Sabine Parish Sheriff, 400 S Capitol St, Many, LA 71449, and/or publicrecords@sabinesheriff.org. The posted copy fee is $1.00 per page for physical or electronic documents. For video, audio, or other electronic media, the sheriff page lists the actual cost of storage media such as a USB thumb drive or CD.

A useful request should identify the person, booking date if known, inmate ID if listed, arresting agency, charge context, and the specific record sought, such as a booking record, booking photograph, jail record, incident report, or releasable correspondence. Public-records law does not make every jail document public. Medical details, security information, internal classification records, juvenile records, sealed records, expunged records, and active-investigation material may be limited or withheld under applicable law.

Work Crews and Local Jail Programs

The Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office Corrections page gives unusually specific information about inmate work crews tied to the male detention center. Police Jury road crews maintain parish roads and rights-of-way. A Sabine River Authority crew works at park sites. Other jail crews handle litter pickup along state highways, mowing and cleanup at indigent cemeteries, and assistance for local organizations and public facilities.

The same sheriff material names community-event support for the Sabine Parish Fair, Zwolle Tamale Festival, Florien Free State Festival, libraries, Sabine Vo-Tech, the district attorney's office, judge's office, fire stations, schools, and Homeland Security functions. These references describe work-crew activity, not eligibility for any particular inmate. A family member should call the detention center or the warden's office for current program status because eligibility, classification, sentence status, medical screening, and security review can change who may work outside the secure facility.
