St. George Quick Facts
How St. George 72 Hour Booking Works
St. George incorporated as a city in 2023. It sits in the southeast part of East Baton Rouge Parish. Even though St. George now has its own city government, it does not run its own jail or booking system. All arrests in St. George get processed through the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. The sheriff's office logs each arrest into the parish jail management system, and that data feeds out to the public roster.
The 72 hour booking window matters because it sets the time frame for when arrest data first shows up in public systems. After someone gets booked in St. George, their record appears on the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office website and through the LAVINE roster. Under La. R.S. 44:1, booking records are public documents. Any person of legal age can ask to see them. The parish updates its online roster every 30 minutes, so new St. George bookings show up fast.
Note: St. George residents use the same parish booking system as Baton Rouge and Central.

Louisiana Law on 72 Hour Booking Access
Louisiana gives the public broad access to booking records. The Louisiana Public Records Law under La. R.S. 44:1 defines booking records as public documents. That means anyone can ask to see them. The law covers all books, records, writings, photographs, and papers held by public offices. Booking records fall under this definition.
There are some limits. Under La. R.S. 44:3, records tied to ongoing investigations may be held back. Juvenile records stay sealed. Expunged records get removed from public view. Medical and mental health records are off limits too. But the basic booking data for St. George arrests, like name, charges, and booking date, is almost always available to the public. Louisiana Revised Statutes 15:574.12 also says correctional facilities must keep accurate records of all persons in their custody.
