Finding Someone in Custody in Concordia Parish
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Concordia Parish is held at the parish jail, run by the Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office at concordiasheriff.org (page title: Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office, LA), phone 318-336-5231, 4001 Carter St, Vidalia, LA 71373, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 318-336-5231.
