Who to Call at Plaquemines Parish Detention Center: Main Numbers, Intake, Backup, and Office Hours

For most questions, start with the main switchboard at 504-934-7600. This is your best first call for general help. Staff can direct you to the right desk if you're not sure who to ask for.

If no one picks up at 504-934-7600, try the backup number: 504-682-4668. The facility lists this as the alternate line to use when you can't get through on the main switchboard.

For booking-related questions, call the Intake and Booking Desk at 504-934-7637 or 504-934-7635. Use these lines when you need to ask about a recent booking, intake processing, or inmate status. For anything else, the main switchboard is a better starting point.

Administrative office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If your question isn't urgent, calling during these weekday hours gives you the best shot at reaching administrative staff.
