East Feliciana Parish Bail Bonds — 24/7 Bondsman in Clinton & Jackson, LA
Bail bonds for Clinton, Jackson, Slaughter, Wilson, Norwood and Ethel. Licensed Louisiana bondsman, available around the clock.
East Feliciana is quiet, rural and small — fewer than 19,000 people spread between Clinton, Jackson, Slaughter, Wilson, Norwood and Ethel, north of Baton Rouge on LA-10, LA-19 and LA-67. There is no interstate. It is the kind of parish where a single arrest is a much bigger event for a family than it would be in Baton Rouge, and where the nearest bail bondsman is often not particularly near.
Bookings go to the East Feliciana Parish Prison on Haynes Street in Clinton, a facility of roughly 242 beds that holds pretrial detainees along with probation and parole holds and state inmates. Bail is set by the 20th Judicial District Court, which covers East and West Feliciana together and sits at the historic courthouse on St. Helena Street in Clinton.
We drive up from Denham Springs regularly. If your husband, son or daughter is in the Clinton jail tonight, call us — we will confirm the charge and the bond and get moving.

Local Notes for East Feliciana Parish
- A 24-hour dispatch line exists. The Sheriff’s Office publishes a non-emergency line at (225) 683-5459 staffed around the clock — useful for confirming a booking when nobody answers elsewhere.
- Jackson is the larger town, Clinton is the seat. Jackson has more residents, but the jail, the courthouse and the Sheriff’s Office are all in Clinton.
- State facilities in the parish. Dixon Correctional Institute and the East Louisiana State Hospital are both in Jackson. Those are state facilities, not the parish jail — a parish arrest still goes to the East Feliciana Parish Prison in Clinton.
- Small parish, small margins. With a modest facility and no interstate access, timing matters more here. Getting the paperwork right the first time avoids a wasted night.

What a Bond Costs in East Feliciana Parish
Louisiana does not let bondsmen set their own rates. Under La. R.S. 22:1443 the premium on a commercial bail bond is 12% of the face amount of the bond, or $120, whichever is greater, and La. R.S. 22:822 adds a statutory fee of $2 for every $100 of liability that goes to the parish sheriff. A $5,000 bond in Clinton costs the same as a $5,000 bond anywhere else in the state. What differs between agencies is how quickly you get answers and how the paperwork is explained — see our full breakdown of bail bond costs in Louisiana.
Ask about payment arrangements. The premium amount is fixed by statute, but we can often work with you on how it is paid. Bring it up on the first call.
