The 40th Judicial District Court sets bond for all St. John Parish arrests, typically within 24 hours. Misdemeanor bonds start around $1,500–$2,500 and felony bonds range from $5,000 to $75,000 depending on the charge.
The St. John Parish Correctional Center typically processes releases within 3–6 hours of bond being posted. We work directly with the facility and have your paperwork ready before you finish your call with us.
Arrests anywhere in St. John the Baptist Parish (LaPlace, Reserve, Garyville, Edgard, Mount Airy, Pleasure Bend, Wallace) are booked into the parish jail run by the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office. The facility is officially named the Lt. Sherman Walker Correctional Facility and is located at 100 Deputy Barton Granier Dr. in LaPlace. You will also hear it called the St. John Parish Correctional Center or simply "the parish jail."
The Sheriff's Office publishes a parish prison inmate lookup on its website (stjohnsheriff.org, under Crime & Arrests → Parish Prison). If you are not sure whether your loved one has been booked yet, that is the fastest place to check. If you cannot find them, call us and we will help.
Bond for St. John Parish arrests is set by the 40th Judicial District Court. The parish courthouse is on the west bank in Edgard, at 2393 Louisiana Hwy 18. Many first appearances and bond settings are handled without the family ever needing to go to the courthouse.
Once a bond amount is set, you have options: pay the full amount in cash to the court, or use a licensed bail agent like us. With a bail bond you pay a percentage premium instead of the full bond, and we offer payment plans so the premium can be spread out over weeks instead of paid all at once.
We are based on the Northshore, but we write bonds in St. John Parish regularly. Everything can be handled by phone and electronic signature: you give us the defendant's name and where they are held, we confirm the bond amount, you sign on your phone, and we post the bond at the LaPlace jail.
Families on the west bank in Edgard and Wallace, and on the east bank in LaPlace, Reserve and Garyville, all use the same process. No driving to an office, no waiting rooms.
