Inmate Search

The best way to get information on prisoners still in custody is to call 985-878-4188 and asking for the Independence Jail. There is also a program called VINE that was instituted by the Tangipahoa Parish County Sheriff’s Department.

Using this program helps you to check on the status of an inmate by calling a toll-free 24-hour telephone service. Call 985-878-4188 and be prepared with the prisoner’s Tangipahoa Parish County booking number.

Sending a Mail/Care Package

For questions regarding sending mail or packages to the Independence Jail, call 985-878-4188. Mail services are not set up, since most prisoners are not at this facility long-term. But, special arrangements might be able to be made if you call ahead and make plans.

Sending Money

Similar to sending money, commissary accounts are not well-established, since this is a short-term facility. Call 985-878-4188 to inquire about sending money to an inmate. You might also be able to make arrangements to bring an inmate a book or some reading material if you bring it directly to the Independence Jail and it is pre-screened for any contraband or illicit material.

Phone calls

Inmates at the Independence Jail cannot receive phone calls, but it is pretty easy for them to make calls. They can make phone calls as soon as the booking process is finished. Inmates have access to a phone in each of their cells, so they can make collect phone calls at any time, which the recipient will be responsible for paying for.

Visitation

Once a prisoner has been in the Independence Jail for at least 24 hours, he can receive visitors. Visitors can be present for up to 15 minutes at a time, and prisoners can have one visitor per day between the hours of 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors need to be at least 18 years of age or older, and bring photo identification before being allowed in. Plan to dress conservatively and do not attempt to bring any contraband into the facility.
