An update from the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office:

Many of you may have noticed by now that our “Inmate Roster” website is down, both online and in the Sheriff App.  Yes, we know all you nosey folks out there (like us) need to get the tea on what’s going on in the parish.  (seriously, the site gets over 10,000 hits per day)  The truth is, we’ve migrated over to a new software, and it is being reconnected as we speak.  This new software allows us to pull the stats below much faster, and we thought we’d share.  You can expect the Inmate Roster to come back online in the DeSoto Sheriff App by Wednesday (fingers crossed) and the website shortly after.  So, to satisfy those nosey desires a bit, we thought we’d share the following stats, so you are all able to get your fix until that day arrives.  Check this out:
