Winn Correctional Center Detainee Search

Winn Correctional Center Overview

Winn Correctional Center is physically located in Winnfield, Louisiana, but its current public-facing detention role is ICE immigration detention. The facility is listed in the Louisiana DPS&C Winn Parish directory, and the research identifies the current operator context as an ICE contract facility operated by LaSalle Corrections. That distinction is central: people held at Winn Correctional Center are not found through the Winn Parish Sheriff's Office inmate feed just because the facility sits in Winn Parish.

The ICE Winn Correctional Center facility page is the source matched to this facility page.

The image marks the custody-system divide: Winn Correctional Center detainees use ICE channels, not the parish jail roster.

The correct way to classify this page is federal immigration detention. A local arrest by the sheriff or city police may appear in the parish jail feed if the person is held at Winn Parish Detention Center. A sentenced Louisiana prisoner uses DPS&C or VINE. A federal criminal inmate uses the BOP locator. A civil immigration detainee at Winn Correctional Center uses ICE's Online Detainee Locator System and the facility information line.

Winn Correctional Center Capacity and Population

The facility-specific number located for Winn Correctional Center is 1,576 male detainees during the 2026 DHS Office of Inspector General inspection. The same research describes that count as the contractual maximum at the start of the inspection. Older Louisiana House budget material also listed 1,576 as operational capacity when discussing the facility's state-correctional history.

That number should not be merged with Winn Parish Detention Center statistics. It describes the ICE detention center and its contractual maximum during the 2026 inspection, not the parish jail roster. The Winn Parish sheriff feed inspected on June 16, 2026 had 142 current IN records, but those records belong to the local sheriff custody system, not Winn Correctional Center's ICE population.

How to Look Up a Detainee at Winn Correctional Center

The correct locator is ICE's Online Detainee Locator System. ICE ODLS is separate from the sheriff Inmate Info route, Louisiana VINE, and the federal BOP inmate locator. USAGov's official description says an ICE search can use either an A-number with country of birth, or a name search with date of birth and country of birth. ICE ODLS covers people currently in ICE custody and people in CBP custody for more than 48 hours.

1. Open ICE ODLS and choose the A-number search if you have the DHS or EOIR A-number.
2. If there is no A-number, search by name with date of birth and country of birth.
3. Confirm the listed location is Winn Correctional Center before using facility-specific visitation, mail, or money rules.
4. If the online locator is incomplete or the matter is urgent, call Winn Correctional Center at (318) 628-3971 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. for detainee information.

Do not use the Winn Parish sheriff roster for ICE detainees. The sheriff feed is a local custody feed and does not publish federal immigration records. Also do not expect ICE ODLS to provide public mugshots. Federal immigration and BOP public locators are designed for custody location, not booking-photo publication.

Winn Correctional Center Address and Contact

The official ICE facility page for Winn Correctional Center controls current facility instructions. The DPS&C parish directory and ICE facility materials identify the facility address and phone. For detainee information, the published call window located in the research is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Use that line for custody, visiting, legal visit, mail, phone, and money questions before relying on older state-prison or parish jail instructions.

Visiting Someone at Winn Correctional Center

For this facility, the ICE facility page is the controlling public source for visitation rules. County jail assumptions should not be used. ICE facilities may have facility-specific rules for visitor approval, identification, attorney or legal representative visits, dress expectations, property limits, and schedule changes. If the ICE page is unavailable or if a visit is time-sensitive, call the facility during the published information window.

The research did not support importing Winn Parish Detention Center's possible NCIC route, Tiger Commissary route, or sheriff app instructions into Winn Correctional Center. Immigration detention has separate federal and contract-facility rules. Families and attorneys should confirm whether a detainee is still at Winn Correctional Center through ICE ODLS or the facility phone before traveling.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Winn Correctional Center

Mail, phone, and money instructions for Winn Correctional Center should come from the ICE facility page or the facility call line. The parish jail's Tiger Commissary page is for Winn Parish LA Detention Center, not Winn Correctional Center. Likewise, NCIC video visitation instructions for local jail use should not be treated as an ICE detainee service unless the ICE facility page or staff specifically direct users there.

Before mailing documents, books, personal letters, or funds, confirm the detainee's current location and the exact accepted format. Immigration custody can involve transfer between facilities, and an outdated locator result or an old third-party page may send mail to the wrong place. Legal mail and attorney communication may have different handling rules from personal mail, so legal representatives should verify the process directly with the facility.

Admission and Custody at Winn Correctional Center

Winn Correctional Center custody is not the same as street-arrest booking into Winn Parish Detention Center. A person may enter ICE custody through immigration enforcement, transfer from another agency, or a federal custody process that is separate from parish jail intake. ICE ODLS is the public locator for the current immigration detention location, while court, immigration case, bond, and removal-proceeding details may involve federal immigration court or agency channels outside Winn Parish.

Because ICE ODLS does not publish mugshots, charge tables, or parish jail booking fields, users should avoid reading missing fields as proof of no case activity. The locator answers a narrower question: whether ICE lists the person in custody and where. For local criminal charges after a sheriff or city arrest, use the parish jail and local court workflow instead.

About Winn Correctional Center

Winn Correctional Center has a long correctional history. Older Louisiana budget material described it as a privately managed state correctional institution that opened in March 1990 on a 1,209-acre tract. The same research states that LaSalle Corrections has managed the facility since Oct. 1, 2015, after Corrections Corporation of America. Its current page treatment, however, should focus on ICE detention because that is the facility's current public-facing custody role in the research.

Recent conditions material is facility-specific. In June 2026, the DHS Office of Inspector General published an unannounced inspection report for Winn Correctional Center. The report contained nine recommendations and addressed detention conditions at the ICE facility. That inspection should not be generalized to Winn Parish Detention Center or Winnfield City Jail. It belongs on this page because it relates directly to Winn Correctional Center's ICE detention role and the 1,576-detainee inspection context.
