Sabine Parish Women's Jail Overview
Sabine Parish Women's Jail is the separate female custody facility operated by the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff Corrections page places the women's jail on the third floor of the Sabine Parish Courthouse at 400 S Capitol St, Many, LA 71449. Because the facility is courthouse-based, visitor and delivery questions should be treated differently from a freestanding jail visit. The sheriff website gives the main office and dispatch number as 318-256-9241, while detention questions may also route through 318-256-0006.
The facility holds female local jail inmates and female pretrial detainees. It is a county-jail facility, not a Louisiana state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or separate municipal jail. Women arrested by local or state agencies in Sabine Parish may appear in the same OCV roster used for male custody, with the roster entry showing Gender: Female where that field is present. Sentenced state custody is different. Once a person moves from parish jail status into Louisiana DPS&C custody, the public search path shifts toward Louisiana VINELink and state corrections resources.
Sabine Parish Women's Jail Capacity
The sheriff's Corrections page, inspected June 16, 2026, states that the women's jail has a capacity of 30 female inmates. The same sheriff source states that the separate male Sabine Parish Detention Center can house over 150 male inmates. These are facility-capacity statements, not a daily census table. The OCV direct roster feed returned 200 records when inspected June 16, 2026, but that number reflects the inspected public feed and should not be used as a women-only population count.
A female roster entry can reflect a new arrest, a pretrial hold, a warrant, a bond status issue, or another local custody reason. The online list should be treated as a current lookup channel, while the courthouse facility's published capacity explains where female local custody is housed inside the parish system.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Sabine Parish Women's Jail
Use the official Sabine Parish OCV Inmate Roster at apps.myocv.com/rtjb/a47471449/Inmates for female local custody. The same roster covers both sheriff facilities, so the search process is not a separate women's-jail database. The OCV interface provides a search box, visible inmate list entries, and a load-more list format. The inspected source did not show advanced fielded search options for date of birth, court date, housing assignment, release date, or bond type.
- Open the OCV Inmate Roster or use the sheriff app page at apps.myocv.com/share/a47471449 and choose the Inmate Roster feature.
- Enter the person's name or other visible text into the roster search box.
- Open a matching record and review the gender, booking date, age, arresting agency, city and state, charges, counts, and bond amount required.
- For a female local booking, call dispatch or detention if the record does not clearly confirm current custody location.
- For sentenced Louisiana state custody, use Louisiana VINELink instead of treating the parish roster as a state-prison locator.
The roster can display a booking image when one is available. Some entries may use a missing-image placeholder. The feed does not publish every operational detail a family member might want, including courthouse entry instructions, housing unit, exact court date, judge, date of birth, release date, total bond, or full release status. Those gaps are the reason phone confirmation matters before travel or payment.
Sabine Parish Women's Jail Address and Contact
The women's jail is associated with the courthouse rather than a standalone jail address, so call before visiting, mailing anything, or trying to deliver documents. Dispatch can help route general courthouse and access questions, while the detention line is the better fallback for custody-specific questions. Public records requests should go to the sheriff's public-records address or email rather than being handled as informal visitor questions.

Visiting Someone at Sabine Parish Women's Jail
No official women's-jail visitation schedule was located in the inspected sheriff OCV pages. Do not invent days, times, visit length, visitor count, dress code, or video-visit pricing. Because this facility is on the third floor of the courthouse, call dispatch or detention before going to confirm public entrance, screening, elevators or stairs, building hours, identification requirements, and whether visits are available that day.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Sabine Parish Women's Jail
The sheriff source set did not publish a complete women's-jail mail rule sheet. It did not list approved envelope rules, photo limits, book rules, mail scanning, legal-mail handling, or courthouse delivery instructions. Use the phone fallback before sending anything. For communication and commissary, the sheriff Inmate Information page points to CityTeleCoin and labels a separate Tiger Commissary route for the Women's Jail.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Limit to Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mail rules were not located in inspected official pages. | Call before sending correspondence, photos, books, property, or legal mail. | |
| Phone / communication | CityTeleCoin | Pricing and account rules were not captured in the official sheriff text. |

Booking and Intake at Sabine Parish Women's Jail
Female local custody follows the same basic booking record path as the parish's male custody system, with placement based on gender and facility assignment. A person may be arrested by the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office, a city police department, Louisiana State Police, a court warrant, or another agency. Intake can include identity entry, booking date, booking photo when available, physical descriptors, inmate ID, arresting agency, city and state, charge descriptions, counts, and bond amount required. Internal medical screening, mental-health review, classification notes, property records, and housing assignment were not published in the public roster inspected for this build.
A booking entry is not the final criminal case record. The listed charge is a jail or arrest label, and the court process can change the charge, bond, and case status. If the person is no longer visible in the parish feed, call detention for current local status and check state custody through VINELink if sentencing or transfer is possible. The broader Sabine Parish jail inmate records page explains the shared roster fields and search limits in more detail.
Records Requests for Women's Jail Files
The sheriff's public-records page cites La. R.S. 44:33.1 and gives a formal request route for records that are not available through the public roster. Send requests to Sabine Parish Sheriff, 400 S Capitol St, Many, LA 71449, and/or publicrecords@sabinesheriff.org. The published fee is $1.00 per page for physical or electronic documents. For video, audio, or other electronic media, the listed cost is the actual storage-media cost, such as a USB thumb drive or CD.
A request for a women's-jail booking record should include the person's full name, booking date if known, inmate ID if listed, arresting agency, charge context, and the exact document or image requested. Ask for the booking record, booking photo, incident report, or jail record rather than asking broadly for "everything." Some records may be restricted because they involve medical information, security procedures, juvenile matters, sealed or expunged records, victim information, active investigations, or other public-record exceptions.
About the Women's Jail and Courthouse Custody
The women's jail is closely tied to the courthouse footprint in Many, which also appears in the sheriff's main office, dispatch, civil office, and public-records routing. That matters for visitors because courthouse access can involve security screening, building entry rules, business-hour limits, and a different public entrance pattern than a detached detention facility. Call before going even if an online roster entry appears current.
The May 2026 sheriff news feed announced full-time and part-time correctional officer openings at the Sabine Parish Women's Jail, with a listed starting salary of $15 per hour and an increase to $18 per hour after successful P.O.S.T. Academy completion. That news item is useful as a staffing and facility reference, but it should not be overstated as evidence of a staffing shortage. It simply confirms that the sheriff was recruiting jail staff for the women's facility during that period.
No Louisiana state prison, BOP facility, or ICE detention center was identified inside Sabine Parish in the official source set reviewed. For federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator after a person enters federal custody. For immigration custody, use the ICE detainee locator. Those tools do not replace the sheriff roster for a new local women's-jail booking.
Note: Confirm custody, courthouse entry, visitation status, and mail rules by phone before traveling or sending funds.
