Does the New Orleans Jail Records Website Accurate and Do They Help?

Evangeline Parish is located on the east side of Lake Ponthchartrain, in Tangier. It is the county seat of Orleans and its largest town. All records in Evangeline are sealed under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. This means that they are available to the public for inspection. However, you have to follow certain procedures in order to get a copy.

The main problem is that the information is only available in the town itself. There is no facility where it can be accessed from the state or federal level. This makes it all the more important that you follow certain rules when requesting it. Otherwise you will be wasting your time, and perhaps the time of someone else who uses this service for verification.

Evangeline Parish’s website is not very useful for jail records. The data they present are limited to public access. You can request it from the Louisiana State Police or other appropriate departments, but there is no guarantee whether they will have it or not. If they do not have it, the records are no good as public records.

Another problem is that they only provide certified copies. As it is, the state maintains all other records. In other words, if the requestor wants a certified copy then he has to go to the state office and get it done there. This could take several hours and then you will have to wait for it to be mailed to you. This is also quite costly and you might have to do it several times just to obtain certified copies.

Evangeline Parish has a website that does not solve the problems described above. If you want authentic public records, you have to go to the government offices in Orleans or elsewhere and obtain it from the department of corrections. This is a slow and expensive process as well.

Another problem with the website provided by Evangeline Parish is that they only allow access from qualified people. Only attorneys, doctors and lawyers are allowed to access these public jail records. This makes the public information very unavailable. The accuracy of the information also seems questionable, as the website does not contain any kind of contact details. If you have any questions regarding public information on jail records in New Orleans, then you can use the contact information given at the bottom of this article.
