Search Franklin Parish Booking Records Online

Franklin Parish offers two online options for searching 72 hour booking records. The LAVNS roster at Franklin.LAVINE.org is the statewide system that most parishes use. It shows current inmates with their names, charges, and custody status. The system updates regularly throughout the day. The second option is the sheriff's own bookings page at franklinsheriff.net/criminal-division/bookings, which has booking data posted by the criminal division.

What makes Franklin Parish a bit different is that a current list of bookings for the previous week gets published in the weekly edition of The Franklin Sun Newspaper. This is a local newspaper that covers Franklin Parish. If you do not have internet access or prefer to read a printed list, pick up a copy of The Franklin Sun at a local store. It has the full weekly booking report with names and charges.

Under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 230.1, every arrested person must appear before a judge within 72 hours of booking. The booking record stays visible on the public roster during that time and beyond, as long as the person is still in custody at the detention center.

Note: The online roster shows current inmates and may not include people who bonded out shortly after arrest.
