St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center Records

St. Martin Juvenile Facility Overview

The Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections lists the St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center under St. Martin Parish local jails and programs. The state listing gives the operator as the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office, the address as 1815 A Terrance Highway, St. Martinville, LA 70582, phone (337) 394-9082, and fax (337) 394-8187. That DPS&C listing is the strongest located official source for the facility name, contact information, and local-program classification.

The facility should be handled differently from the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center at 400 Saint Martin Street. The Correctional Center is the adult parish jail and has a public TBS roster for adult custody. The juvenile training center is named as a youth or juvenile program, and no public juvenile roster, public booking search, bed count, admission manual, or program description was located in official sources. That gap is not a reason to substitute the adult roster. It means the page must point readers to direct official contact and restricted-record channels.

The sheriff's primary locations page also identifies a CID/POST Academy/Training Facility at 1815 Terrace Highway. The DPS&C page uses "1815 A Terrance Highway" for the juvenile training center. Because official sources differ slightly between Terrance and Terrace, callers should use the facility phone or sheriff administrative office to confirm the correct entrance, mailing label, and visit or appointment location before travel.

St. Martin Juvenile Capacity Caveat

No official source located during research published a bed count or current population for the St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center. The Vera Louisiana Locked Up parish page reports a 274-person combined capacity for facilities in St. Martin Parish, but the research specifically warns not to treat that combined figure as the adult jail bed count and not to assign it to the juvenile training center without source support. The adult jail's official 186-bed figure comes from the sheriff's About the Office page and applies to the Correctional Center, not this juvenile program.

The safe reading is narrow: St. Martin Parish has an adult correctional center with a documented 186-bed capacity, and DPS&C also lists a juvenile training center at a separate address. A public site should not infer the juvenile center's size, occupancy, housing rules, or daily population from adult jail data. Juvenile custody information can also be shielded by confidentiality rules, court orders, and agency policy even when an adult booking record would be public.

The DPS&C St. Martin Parish location page is the source tying this facility name to the parish facility list.

That listing supports the facility's existence and contact details, but it does not publish a juvenile roster or population table.

St. Martin Juvenile Lookup Limits

There is no located official public juvenile roster for the St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center. The adult St. Martin Parish Jail Roster is for adult parish jail custody at the Correctional Center and should not be used as proof that a youth is or is not held in a juvenile program. Juvenile records are generally restricted because they can involve minors, family court issues, education or treatment information, victim information, and sealed or confidential proceedings.

1. Call the juvenile training center at (337) 394-9082 for facility-specific routing and to learn whether any information can be released.
2. If the facility cannot disclose information, call the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office administrative number at (337) 394-3071 and ask for the correct youth-program or records contact.
3. Use the adult TBS roster only when the person is an adult or when there is reason to believe the person was booked into the adult Correctional Center.
4. For adult state custody or notification, use Louisiana VINELink; do not treat VINELink as a full juvenile case record system.
5. For court or agency records, expect identity, parent or guardian status, case number, release authorization, or a court order to matter.

The key distinction is public adult jail status versus restricted youth records. Adult roster data can show name, local inmate ID, date of birth, booking date, charges, bond, and holds. A juvenile training center inquiry may produce no public result at all, even if the facility or another agency has a confidential record. When a youth's safety, custody, or legal status is at issue, direct agency contact or counsel is more reliable than searching public adult databases.

St. Martin Juvenile Center Contact

Use the state-listed facility phone first for questions about the St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center. The sheriff administrative office is the fallback when a caller needs routing, office hours, or a records contact. Avoid sending personal documents, school records, medical details, or court papers to an unverified address until the facility confirms the correct delivery method.

The sheriff's primary office locations page documents multiple sheriff addresses, including the training facility address spelling that differs from the DPS&C juvenile listing.

Because the address wording differs across sources, phone confirmation is the best step before a visit or delivery.

St. Martin Juvenile Visit Rules

No official public visitation schedule, visitor-list rule, mail policy, commissary program, or phone/video vendor was located for the St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center. The adult jail's visitation page should not be copied onto the juvenile center because adult parish jail visitation rules are written for inmates at the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center. A youth program may require parent or guardian approval, agency approval, court involvement, school or treatment scheduling, and different security screening.

This careful approach protects both accuracy and privacy. Youth custody and program records are not ordinary public jail roster entries. Even when a caller is related to the youth, the facility may need to verify identity and authority before giving visit, phone, mail, or release information.

St. Martin Juvenile Mail Money

The sheriff's inmate money and commissary page documents trust fund deposits for adult jail inmates at the Correctional Center, including cash or money orders at the Sheriff's Office, mailed money orders to SMSO Inmate Fund, and an online credit card option through a FORECOMM Solutions/JPay-linked path. That information is useful for adults housed at the parish jail. It was not documented as a juvenile training center deposit rule, and it should not be used for the youth program without facility confirmation.

Do not mail cash, personal checks, medical records, school documents, or court papers to the juvenile center unless staff gives clear instructions. If a facility staff member provides a mailing format, use the youth's legal name exactly as directed and keep proof of mailing or delivery. For adult inmate deposit questions, use the Correctional Center page instead.

St. Martin Juvenile Intake

No public intake manual was located for the St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center. Adult booking steps such as roster publication, bond fields, and public charge lists do not transfer cleanly to youth matters. A juvenile program intake may involve a law enforcement referral, court order, parent or guardian notice, screening, classification, education or program placement, and limits on who may receive updates. The public source set does not confirm those steps for this facility, so the safest statement is that intake details must be confirmed with the facility or the responsible court or agency.

For adult arrests in St. Martin Parish, the public path is different. Adult custody begins with the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center, the TBS roster, booking phone, LAVNS/VINELink, and formal records requests. For youth matters, the public may see no online record because the purpose of juvenile confidentiality is to protect minors and sensitive case information. That distinction should guide every lookup attempt.

About St. Martin Juvenile Center

The St. Martin Sheriff's Office Juvenile Training Center appears in the official facility map because DPS&C lists it as a local jail or program in St. Martin Parish. The located official source set does not say it is a state prison, a federal jail, an ICE detention center, or the adult parish jail. It also does not publish a youth roster, bed count, schedule, mail policy, commissary vendor, program calendar, admission criteria, or public visiting rules.

The limited record should shape the content. Use the facility phone, sheriff administrative office, court or agency contacts, and verified legal channels. Use the adult jail roster only for adult Correctional Center custody. For broader adult custody status, Louisiana DPS&C and VINELink may help after transfer or state involvement. For youth matters, privacy and release authority control what can be shared.
