Ascension Parish Jail Mugshots Overview
The official Ascension Parish New World Inmate Inquiry roster connected to the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Robert "Bobby" Webre displays booking photos. Search results include a Photo column with thumbnails, and detail profiles include a Photos section with a larger image link. The photo appears with identity, demographic, booking, charge, bond, housing, and court-grid fields when those fields are populated.
No separate official Ascension Parish daily mugshot gallery or daily booking PDF was found in research. The official routes are the jail roster, the detail profile, in-person booking-sheet access, and APSO's written public-records request process. BOP and ICE locators do not work like a parish jail mugshot roster and should not be treated as booking-photo databases.
The image below comes from the Ascension Parish inmate detail profile inspected for field inventory.
The photo should be read with the booking and court fields, not separated from the record context.
How to Find or Request an Ascension Parish Booking Photo
Use the official roster first. If a photo is not visible, use APSO's routine booking-sheet access or written public-records process instead of unofficial photo sites.
- Open the Ascension Parish New World Inmate Inquiry roster.
- Search by name, subject number, booking number, in-custody status, date range, or housing facility.
- Review the result grid for a Photo thumbnail and click the linked name.
- Open the detail profile and check the Photos section for the larger image link.
- If the online record does not show the needed photo, request a booking sheet in person at an APSO-listed location or send a formal USPS public-records request.
- For formal requests, mail APSO Headquarters, 828 S. Irma Blvd., Gonzales, LA 70737, Attn: Deputy Kyle Gautreau, Legal Affairs.
Photo and Field Inventory on a Booking Profile

| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Photo thumbnail | Small booking image shown in roster search results. |
| Photos section | Larger booking photo and full-photo link on the detail profile. |

| Subject Number | Numeric person identifier connected to the profile. |
| Date of Birth / Age | Identity fields used to distinguish similar names. |
| Gender / Race | Public demographic fields. |
| Height / Weight | Physical description fields. |
| Booking Number | Booking identifier, observed in YYYY-######## format. |
| Booking Date | Date and time of jail processing. |
| Prisoner Type | Examples observed include Awaiting Arraignment and Sentenced Parish. |
| Housing Facility | Ascension Parish Jail, off-site, blank, or other entered housing value. |
| Charge grid | Charge description, counts, offense date, docket number, disposition, sentence fields, crime class, arresting agency, attempt/commit label, and bond. |
Are Ascension Parish Jail Mugshots Public Record?
Louisiana public-records law broadly defines public bodies and public records, but law-enforcement records can be exempt. APSO's records page states that criminal records are generally privileged until adjudicated or otherwise settled, and that some categories remain privileged after adjudication. The live roster shows photos, but that does not guarantee every booking photo is immediately releasable through a separate records request.
Key statutes:
La. R.S. 44:1 defines Louisiana public bodies and public records broadly, subject to exemptions.
La. Code Crim. Proc. art. 234 defines booking photograph and regulates remove-for-pay publication practices after qualifying proof.
What Is Public and What Is Not Public
The public can see photo thumbnails and detail photos when APSO publishes them in the roster profile. The public can also request eligible records through APSO's formal process. However, APSO states criminal records are generally privileged until adjudicated or otherwise settled, and protected information involving juveniles, sexual-offense victims, undercover officers, confidential sources, investigative techniques, security procedures, or training information is not released.
Public access limit: A roster photo is a public-facing custody image when displayed by APSO. It is not a conviction record, and it does not mean every related police or prosecution file is open.
APSO Records Route, USPS Rule, and Photo Fees
The public-records screenshot below comes from the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office public-records request page.
The records page is the controlling local route for photos not resolved through the live roster.
APSO requires formal public-records requests to be sent in writing by USPS to Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office Headquarters, 828 S. Irma Blvd., Gonzales, LA 70737, Attn: Deputy Kyle Gautreau, Legal Affairs. APSO states that a request will not be deemed received if sent by another method. Booking sheets can also be obtained in person at the Donaldsonville Courthouse, Sheriff's Office Headquarters, District 2, or District 3.
Research found APSO fees of $1.00 per page for documents, $5.00 per page for photographs, and $1.00 per minute plus $10.00 per disc for audio or video. APSO invoices after deciding a record can be released, and costs must be paid before release. Cash, credit card, or money order can be paid in person at the Gonzales headquarters, or a money order can be sent through USPS. Checks are allowed for law firms and insurance companies only.
How Long a Mugshot Stays on the Roster
The research did not find an official Ascension Parish retention window stating how long a booking photo remains visible after release. The roster can show current and historical profile data that remains visible through APSO, but the public page also warns that information can change quickly and should not be treated as an official public document. A person not found in a current-custody query may still need a broader date or name search, an in-person booking-sheet request, or a formal records request.
Mugshot Removal, Expungement, and La. C.Cr.P. art. 234
Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 234 is focused on remove-for-pay publications. It requires such a publication or website to remove and destroy a booking photograph within seven calendar days after a qualifying request and evidence that the charge was acquitted, not prosecuted, expunged, vacated, or pardoned. It also says the publication cannot require payment for removal and may face prosecution if it seeks a fee.
That statute should not be overread as a guarantee that APSO removes every roster photo on request. For sheriff-hosted roster data, use APSO's disclaimer and records process. For court status supporting a removal or correction request, verify the disposition through court records after a jail arrest.
County, State, Federal, and ICE Photo Differences
The Ascension Parish roster is a local jail system. Louisiana DPS&C and VINE are for state custody, including sentenced people housed at Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women or Elayn Hunt Correctional Center. BOP locates federal prisoners and ICE ODLS locates immigration detainees. Federal and immigration locators are not routine parish mugshot galleries and should not be expected to publish booking photos like a county jail profile.
| System | Photo Expectation | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| Ascension Parish Jail roster | Photos are displayed when included in the profile. | Local booking photos, charges, bond, and housing fields. |
| Louisiana DPS&C / VINE | State locator route, not the APSO mugshot roster. | Sentenced state custody and notifications. |
| BOP locator | Not a routine mugshot publication system. | Sentenced federal prisoners. |
| ICE ODLS | Not a mugshot publication system. | Current ICE detainees by A-number or biographical search. |
