Winnfield City Jail Overview
Winnfield City Jail is listed in the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections parish directory as a local jail in Winn Parish. The facility is associated with the Winnfield Police Department and the City of Winnfield rather than the Winn Parish Sheriff's Office. Its role is best treated as city or municipal holding for city arrestees and municipal holds, especially at the beginning of a custody event.
The research did not locate a separate city jail roster, public booking search, bed capacity, visitation schedule, mail rule, commissary page, or city jail policy manual. That means the correct public-access posture is phone-first. When a person is arrested by city police, the answer may be at Winnfield City Jail for a short period, at Winn Parish Detention Center after transfer, or in the court and clerk record once formal proceedings begin. The sheriff's weekly arrest reports include entries labeled "City Arrest," which supports explaining the city-to-parish path without inventing a separate online city roster.
Winnfield City Jail Capacity and Population
No official source located for this build published a Winnfield City Jail bed capacity, current count, average daily population, annual bookings, or gender breakdown. The facility appears in the DPS&C parish directory, but the directory entry supplies contact information rather than population statistics. The public Winn Parish sheriff feed should not be treated as a city jail count because it is the sheriff's current custody feed for the parish detention workflow.
For a city arrest, the most useful population question is not a statistical count. It is whether the person is still at city police custody, has been released, or has moved to Winn Parish Detention Center. Once the person appears in the parish detention feed, the lookup changes from city-jail phone confirmation to the sheriff Inmate Info route and detention center phone line.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Winnfield City Jail
The research did not locate a public online roster for Winnfield City Jail. Start with the Winnfield Police Department or city jail phone line for city arrests. If the person has been moved to parish custody, use the Winn Parish Sheriff's Office Inmate Info route and the Winn Parish Detention Center phone line. If the question is about filed charges, bond conditions, or court dates, the answer may sit with the clerk, court, or prosecutor rather than with the city jail.
- Call Winnfield City Jail or the Winnfield Police Department at (318) 628-3511 and ask whether the person is currently held there.
- If city staff indicate a transfer, search the sheriff's Inmate Info route for Winn Parish Detention Center custody.
- Use the sheriff weekly arrest report for recent city arrest context when available, but do not treat it as a live custody guarantee.
- For bond, court appearance, or formal charge questions, contact the appropriate court or clerk channel after confirming where the person is held.
This facility should not be searched through ICE ODLS or the federal BOP locator unless the custody question has become a separate immigration or federal criminal matter. Local city arrests usually move through city police, parish jail, and the 8th Judicial District court process.
Winnfield City Jail Address and Contact
The DPS&C parish directory gives the city jail address, phone, and fax. Because no online custody database was located for this facility, the phone number is the main public lookup tool. Callers should ask whether the person is physically at the city jail, whether a transfer has occurred, and whether questions about bond or court dates should go to the parish detention center, the clerk, or the court.

Visiting Someone at Winnfield City Jail
No official Winnfield City Jail visitation schedule was located. City holding facilities can have different rules from parish jails, and a short-term hold may end before a visit is possible. Before traveling, call the city jail and ask whether the person is still there, whether public visits are allowed, what identification is required, and whether the person has been moved to Winn Parish Detention Center.
Do not assume that the parish jail's possible video-visit route, Tiger Commissary page, or sheriff app rules apply to the city jail. The research did not locate a city jail video visitation vendor or a public visitor-registration process. If staff direct callers to the parish jail after a transfer, then the visit question should be handled under the Winn Parish Detention Center's phone-confirmed rules.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not published; call (318) 628-3511 | Confirm whether visits are available |
| Wednesday | Not published; call (318) 628-3511 | Confirm whether visits are available |
| Friday | Not published; call (318) 628-3511 | Confirm whether visits are available |
| Saturday | Not published; call (318) 628-3511 | Confirm whether visits are available |

Mail, Phone, and Money at Winnfield City Jail
Mail, phone, and commissary information for Winnfield City Jail was not located in the official web sources reviewed. Because a municipal hold may be short and may transfer to the parish detention center, callers should not send mail or money until staff confirm the person is still at the city facility and explain the accepted format. If the person has moved to Winn Parish Detention Center, use the parish jail's phone-confirmed mail rules and the Tiger Commissary route only if the jail confirms that the person can receive funds.
The absence of a public city jail commissary page should not be filled with county jail assumptions. A city facility may not accept outside deposits, may process property in person, or may direct all money questions to a later parish jail account after transfer. The only supported instruction from the research is to call the city jail first.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Not located; call before mailing anything to a city detainee. |
| Phone / Video | No public provider located; call the city jail for current rules. |
| Money Deposit | No city jail commissary provider located; ask whether the person has transferred to the parish jail. |
Booking and Intake at Winnfield City Jail
A city arrest may begin with Winnfield Police Department custody and then move into the Winn Parish detention and court record chain. The sheriff weekly arrest reports distinguish some entries as "City Arrest," which is useful context for readers who see city police involvement but later find the person in a parish jail or court record. That label does not prove a live city jail location by itself, because custody can change quickly after booking.
The practical sequence is to confirm the arresting agency, ask the city jail whether the person is currently held, then check the parish detention center if a transfer is reported. Court records after the arrest can be separate from the custody location. Charges in an arrest report can be amended, declined, or replaced later by formal court filings, so jail and police information should not be treated as the final court record.
About Winnfield City Jail
Winnfield City Jail is one part of a three-facility detention landscape in Winn Parish. It is different from Winn Parish Detention Center, which is the parish jail operated by the sheriff, and it is different from Winn Correctional Center, which is researched here as an ICE detention facility. This distinction is important because each facility uses a different lookup path and a different public-information source.
For city jail questions, the located research supports a narrow and careful answer: use the city phone line, check the parish roster if a transfer occurred, and follow the court record through the local court system when charges are filed. No capacity, visitation, commissary, mail, program, or public mugshot source was located for the city jail. Keeping those limits visible prevents a city arrest page from promising records that the official sources did not provide.
Note: Call the city jail before visiting, mailing, or sending funds because published public rules were not located.
