Lafayette Parish Jail Roster & Inmate Search: Daily Bookings

How to Search the Lafayette Parish Jail Roster

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office replaced its former JADES jail management system with the 365Labs Community Portal. The official search provides information on inmates currently housed at LPCC and people recently booked into the facility.

Step-by-Step: Find a Current Inmate

How to Display All Current Inmates

1. Sign in to the 365Labs portal.
2. Choose Lookup Inmates.
3. Uncheck the Recent Bookings box.
4. Clear the First Name, Last Name and Booking No fields.
5. Click Search.
6. Review the returned list of currently housed offenders.

Lafayette Parish Jail Recent Bookings: Last 72 Hours

The Community Portal includes a special filter for people booked during the preceding 72 hours. This is useful when you know someone was arrested recently but do not have a booking number.

How to Find New Jail Bookings

1. Open the official Community Portal.
2. Sign in and choose Lookup Inmates.
3. Check the Recent Bookings box.
4. Leave the First Name, Last Name and Booking No fields empty to see all available recent bookings.
5. Click Search to display records from the last 72 hours.
6. For a particular person, enter a name or booking number and search again.

What Information Can a Booking Record Contain?

The exact fields displayed can vary. During its transition to the new system, LPSO stated that certain demographic fields, including date of birth, height, weight and hair color, were not initially available. Check the current portal rather than assuming all historical JADES fields have returned.

Lafayette Parish Daily Arrest Report: Today’s Arrests

The Sheriff’s Office publishes a separate daily arrest report containing arrests reported by Lafayette Parish law enforcement agencies. This resource is different from the jail roster and can help when someone was arrested but does not appear in the current LPCC inmate list.

How to Check Daily Arrests

1. Visit the sheriff’s official Daily Arrest Report page.
2. Check the report heading for the publication date.
3. Review the arrest date and time of each relevant entry.
4. Use the reported name and incident information to identify a possible match.
5. Search the jail roster separately to verify detention status.

Get Daily Arrest Reports by Email

The sheriff allows the public to subscribe to daily arrest report emails. Go to the official subscription page, enter your email address in the subscription form and follow its confirmation instructions.

Arrest date versus report date: A report published on one day may contain arrests from the preceding day. Always read the individual arrest timestamp.

Lafayette Jail Mugshots, Charges and Booking Records

People searching for a Lafayette Parish inmate may also need the person’s booking photograph, arrest information or bond details.

How to Find a Booking Photograph

1. Search the official Community Portal for the inmate.
2. Open the matching record, where the interface allows.
3. Review any booking photograph or identifying details the sheriff makes available.
4. If a photograph is not displayed, contact LPSO Records to ask whether it may be requested.

Not every photograph or personal identifier is necessarily published. The official portal restricts unauthorized copying and republication of its information. This guide does not reproduce inmate profiles or mugshots.

How to Understand Listed Charges

Charge information usually reflects the alleged offenses or legal holds associated with an arrest or booking. Charges may change after prosecutors review a case, and the final outcome is determined through the court process.

An arrest, charge or jail booking does not establish that a person is guilty of a crime. Do not treat an entry in the roster as a conviction record.

How to Verify a Criminal Case

For the official status of a criminal case, begin with the court identified in the inmate’s paperwork or arrest record. You can locate court information through the Louisiana Supreme Court and Judicial Branch or the Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court.

Ask the appropriate clerk about public case access, hearings, copies and applicable document fees. Not every case file is available online.

What If Someone Is Not on the Lafayette Jail Roster?

If your inmate search returns no result, consider when and where the arrest happened.

• Recent arrest: The person may still be going through the booking process.
• Released from custody: A former inmate may no longer appear in the current roster.
• Different spelling: The booking agency may have recorded a different name or spelling.
• Other facility: The person may be detained in another parish, city or state facility.
• Transferred to state custody: The person may be held by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
• Unavailable record: Certain information may be restricted or absent from the public interface.

What to Do Next

1. Search using only the person’s last name.
2. Try an alternate spelling or the booking number.
3. Search with Recent Bookings both checked and unchecked, depending on the circumstances.
4. Review the official Daily Arrest Report.
5. Call LPCC at 337-236-5400 for current custody questions.
6. For a possible state-custody transfer, use Louisiana’s DOC offender locator.

The Louisiana DOC automated offender locator is available at 225-383-4580. The system generally requires an offender’s DOC number or identifying information and is intended for DOC offenders, not all parish pretrial detainees.

Lafayette Parish Jail Visitation: How to Visit an Inmate

LPSO provides video-visitation services for approved visits with people housed at LPCC. Its separate on-site Visitation Center is located at:

How to Arrange a Visit

1. Search for the inmate and verify current custody.
2. Open the Sheriff’s official corrections and visitation information.
3. Check the current video-visitation provider and registration process.
4. Create an account if required.
5. Review the schedule, appointment availability and applicable fees.
6. Follow instructions for identification and visitor approval.
7. Arrive at the appropriate location or connect remotely at the scheduled time.

LPSO’s telephone-service page identifies Ally Telecom Group as a provider for prepaid communication accounts and video visits. Use Ally Telecom Group or the provider currently linked by the sheriff to check supported services.

Before Your Visit

• Confirm that the inmate is eligible for visitation.
• Read the current visitor dress code.
• Bring government-issued identification if required.
• Ask about visitor age restrictions and accompanying minors.
• Confirm whether the selected visit is on-site or remote.
• Do not assume that the jail building and Visitation Center are the same location.

Visit duration and availability can change because of housing assignments, disciplinary restrictions, court movements and facility operations. Check with the sheriff for current rules instead of relying on an old visiting timetable.

Lafayette Parish Inmate Phone Calls and Communication

The sheriff’s published inmate telephone information directs family members and friends to Ally Telecom Group for prepaid communication accounts.

How to Set Up Telephone Communication

1. Confirm the inmate is currently housed at LPCC.
2. Visit Ally Telecom Group.
3. Register for an account.
4. Follow the available facility and inmate selection process.
5. Review charges and prepaid-account options.
6. Add funds only after confirming the correct account details.

Telephone availability depends on facility rules and individual inmate restrictions. Incoming calls generally cannot be placed directly to a detained person through the jail’s main number.

For urgent family matters, call the correctional center and ask how to pass along important information.

How to Send Money to a Lafayette Parish Jail Inmate

LPCC allows inmates to maintain accounts for approved commissary purchases and communication services. The sheriff lists money orders and facility deposit kiosks among its deposit options.

Option 1: Deposit at the Jail Lobby Kiosk

A deposit kiosk is located in the jail’s 24-hour bonding lobby at 916 Lafayette Street, Lafayette, LA 70501. The sheriff lists cash and credit-card deposit options at this kiosk.

Another listed deposit location is 1010 Lafayette Street, fourth floor, with cash-only acceptance. Check access arrangements and office hours before arriving.

Option 2: Send a Money Order

The sheriff publishes the following commissary money-order mailing information:

Personal checks, cashier’s checks and company checks are not accepted under the published commissary instructions. Verify the current requirements before mailing a payment.

What Can Inmates Buy?

Commissary accounts may be used for approved personal items such as snacks, toiletries, hygiene products and other goods authorized by the facility.

Lafayette Parish Jail Inmate Mail: Updated Mailing Address

Effective March 1, 2025, LPCC changed how ordinary personal mail is received. Personal letters are sent to a dedicated processing address, scanned and delivered electronically for inmates to read through the facility’s messaging system.

Personal Mail Address

Do not send ordinary personal mail directly to the main jail street address unless detention staff specifically instruct you to do so.

Personal Mail Rules

• Include the full facility name and state.
• Write the inmate’s full name and unique identifier.
• Include the sender’s full name and physical return address.
• Send permitted correspondence rather than packages or catalogs.
• Do not place checks or money orders inside personal mail.
• Do not send legal correspondence to the personal mail-scanning address.

Attorney and Privileged Legal Mail

LPCC publishes a separate address for privileged and legal mail:

The sender’s business or organization name and return address must be properly identified on privileged correspondence. Mail sent to the wrong address may be returned.

Read the official inmate mail and commissary procedures.

Lafayette Parish Jail Bond and Bail Information

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office explains several methods of posting an authorized bond. The correct option depends on the court’s order, the bond type and the person’s eligibility for release.

Bond Types Accepted by the Sheriff’s Office

How to Check and Post Bond

1. Search the inmate’s booking record.
2. Record the inmate’s name and booking number.
3. Contact the jail or bonding office to verify the current bond amount.
4. Ask whether another warrant or hold could prevent release.
5. Confirm the permitted payment method.
6. Follow the official Sheriff’s Office bonding instructions.
7. Keep all receipts and documents.

Cash bonds may be refunded subject to the applicable court process and final case disposition. Fees paid to a commercial bonding agent are governed by the bonding arrangement and are not the same as refundable cash bond.

When Will an Inmate Be Released?

Release processing may depend on payment verification, court authorization, jail paperwork and unresolved holds. A posted bond does not guarantee immediate release. Contact LPCC for current instructions and avoid assuming a fixed release time.

Lafayette Parish Inmate Release Status and VINE Notifications

The Sheriff’s Community Portal connects qualifying inmate records to VINE, a custody-notification service that can help users register for available status updates.

How to Register for Release Notifications

1. Find the inmate’s record in the 365Labs Community Portal.
2. Look for the green VINE selection icon beside the record.
3. Follow the link to VINELink.
4. If the offender does not appear automatically, search by ID Number.
5. Use the booking number from the Community Portal as the ID when following LPSO’s instructions.
6. Follow the service’s registration process for available notifications.

Louisiana’s victim notification system also lists the telephone number 866-528-6748 for information and assistance.

Notifications may not be instantaneous. Anyone with an urgent safety concern should contact the relevant law enforcement agency rather than rely only on automated alerts.

Request Official Lafayette Parish Jail Booking Records

3. Open the LPSO Records Division page.
