St. Helena Parish Jail Overview

St. Helena Parish Jail is the only detention facility located in St. Helena Parish that the official source searches identified. The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections parish page lists the local jail at 387 Sitman Street in Greensburg. The Louisiana Sheriffs' Association directory also lists the parish jail at that address and provides a separate prison phone. The facility is operated by the St. Helena Parish Sheriff's Office, with Sheriff "Clay" Chutz identified in current LSA and parish government material.

The jail holds local pretrial detainees, local sentenced detainees, and people booked locally who may be awaiting bond, court action, release, or transfer. It is not a state prison and does not have a published state-prison security level. If a person is sentenced to Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections custody and leaves St. Helena Parish Jail, the parish roster may stop being the right search source. That person should be checked through Louisiana VINE / DPS&C instead.

St. Helena Jail Capacity

Vera's Louisiana Locked Up parish page reports St. Helena Parish Jail with capacity for 49 people. An older correctional-population data source used by Prisoners of the Census listed 56 local for St. Helena Parish Jail using 12/31/2013 local data. Use the 49 figure as the main capacity point and the 56 figure only as older historical context. The research did not locate a current official average daily population, annual booking total, housing-unit layout, medical unit description, female housing details, or year-built history for the facility.

The DPS&C St. Helena Parish page captured for the project shows the local jail and parish office contact block used to confirm the facility listing.

The DPS&C screenshot supports the facility page because it confirms St. Helena Parish Jail as the parish local jail rather than a separate state prison.

Lookup St. Helena Parish Jail Inmates

The correct public lookup for St. Helena Parish Jail is the St. Helena Parish Sheriff's Office LA VINE roster. It is a current-custody roster fed through the LA VINE/LAVNS platform. LCLE says Louisiana VINE rosters use jail management system data and are updated every 30 minutes. The inspected St. Helena roster showed Show All, A-Z filters, a last-updated timestamp, a LA VINE notification prompt, and an agreement button.

1. Open the St. Helena Parish LA VINE roster and accept the notice if prompted.
2. Use Show All or select the first letter of the person's last name.
3. Compare name and demographic details, since the raw page did not show a text search box.
4. Register through LA VINE if custody-status notifications are needed.
5. Call the jail if the person is not listed or if bond, release, transfer, or hold details matter.

St. Helena Jail Address

Use the Sitman Street address for jail custody questions. The research found multiple official administrative address references for the sheriff's office, including P.O. Box 1205, 19 N. First Street, and a parish government listing at 53 North 2nd Street. Those are administrative/contact references and do not replace the jail address for detention matters. Confirm the correct entrance before any in-person visit or records request.

St. Helena Sheriff and Warden

The jail operator is the St. Helena Parish Sheriff's Office. Current official directory material identifies Sheriff "Clay" Chutz, who the LSA directory says assumed office in 2024. The same directory lists Chief Deputy Charles Dupuy and Warden Danny Honeycutt, plus staffing figures of 8 regular deputies and 6 part-time deputies. Older state/DPS&C pages may still display Nathaniel "Nat" Williams as sheriff, so current user-facing content should rely on Chutz where current LSA, parish, and roster material identify him.

The parish government sheriff page captured in the research confirms the St. Helena Parish Sheriff's Office public agency page and contact context.

The sheriff page image helps tie the facility to the local operator instead of a state or federal corrections agency.

Visit St. Helena Parish Jail

The located official St. Helena sources did not publish public visitation hours, remote-video availability, visitor approval rules, dress code, child-visitor rules, attorney-visit procedure, or holiday schedules. That is not a reason to invent a table. Call the jail before travel and ask whether visits are in person, remote video, or both; whether visits are scheduled by housing unit, last name, or approval list; and whether the visit can be canceled because of court movement, lockdown, medical status, or staffing.

Mail Money and Phone

Official St. Helena sources did not publish an inmate mail format, commissary vendor, deposit vendor, deposit fee, video provider, or phone account provider. Families should call before mailing items or sending funds. Ask whether the envelope must list the inmate's full name, booking number, or dorm; whether the facility accepts money orders; whether online or kiosk deposits exist; and whether personal checks, cash, photos, books, medication, or clothing are refused.

Booking at St. Helena Jail

Booking at St. Helena Parish Jail follows the local Louisiana parish jail path. An arrested person is brought to the jail, identified, searched, entered into the jail system, screened, classified, and held for bond, release, first appearance, or transfer depending on the charge and any holds. The roster is a public output of the jail management system through LA VINE. The research did not find a published booking intake schedule or time-to-post rule for St. Helena beyond LCLE's general 30-minute LA VINE roster update statement.

First appearance and bond are court-linked. Louisiana law requires a prompt appearance and in any case within 72 hours, excluding weekends and legal holidays, for counsel appointment and possible bail review. A jail booking charge is not always the final court charge. The 21st Judicial District Attorney and St. Helena Clerk of Court handle the court record after the jail event.

St. Helena Jail Records

For records not shown on the roster, request specific documents from the sheriff's office. Useful request terms include booking sheet, charge list, bond sheet, release date, booking photograph, incident report, and custody-status confirmation. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, booking or arrest date, arresting agency, and the record requested. Louisiana public-records law is broad, but law-enforcement exceptions, juvenile rules, expungement, sealing, security concerns, and pending criminal litigation can restrict release.

Note: Confirm custody and visiting rules with St. Helena Parish Jail before traveling, mailing property, or sending money.
