Finding Someone in Custody in West Feliciana Parish

SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office at wfpso.org/Detention/Jail-Bookings (page title: West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office > Detention > Jail Bookings), phone 225-784-3158, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
