⭐ 1-Star Review: Horrific Abuse and Corruption at St. Tammany Parish Jail

This facility is one of the worst examples of abuse and corruption I’ve ever seen or heard of. The staff at St. Tammany Parish Jail routinely mistreat and brutalize inmates — especially Black individuals — showing complete disregard for human life and dignity.

Reports of physical beatings, sexual assault, racial discrimination, and food tampering are deeply disturbing and far too common. Instead of rehabilitation, this jail fosters fear, violence, and cruelty. Many officers seem to abuse their power with no accountability, using their authority to harm rather than protect.

No one deserves to be treated this way — not even behind bars. The leadership at this facility should be investigated immediately by outside agencies. Families and loved ones deserve answers, and the victims deserve justice.

At 6 pm, I get a call saying it will be 9pm when my friend is released. It's currently 11:02 pm and still didn't get my friend. Our friend has been waiting on him for 5 hours. Those people aren't organized, do everything backwards, no regaurds to people waiting on their loved ones for many hours. They went as far to lie to my friend and said they called me but it went to voice mail. Never received a call...

This facility doesn’t protect anyone; it destroys lives. Immediate investigation and action are...
