VINE Lookup for New Iberia
The Louisiana VINE system covers Iberia Parish and is a good option for checking on released inmates from New Iberia. You can search by name, ID, or case number. VINE updates every 15 minutes for parish jails, which is more frequent than the daily roster update. This makes it the fastest tool for real-time status checks.
VINE lets you set up notifications. If you need to know the moment a specific inmate is released from Iberia Parish Jail, register on the VINE website or call 1-866-528-6748. You pick how you want to be notified: phone call, text, or email. The service is free and runs around the clock. It works for any parish jail or state prison in Louisiana, so if the person gets transferred elsewhere, you are still covered.
New Iberia State Inmate Records
If someone from New Iberia was convicted and sent to a state prison, their records transfer to the Louisiana DPS&C. The state department handles all inmates in its prisons across Louisiana. You can use the automated locator at (225) 383-4580 to check on someone. Have their full name and date of birth or DPS&C number ready.
Under R.S. 15:574.12, state prison records are confidential and cannot be shared with the public. Exceptions exist for basic details: age, offense, conviction date, sentence length, and any misconduct while in prison. Release dates are available through the automated system if they have been calculated. The DPS&C public information page outlines the formal public records request process for anything beyond what the locator provides.
Booking records from the original New Iberia arrest remain with the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office. Under R.S. 44:3, booking records and police log books are public records. So even if the person moved to state prison, the initial arrest and booking data from New Iberia stays accessible through the parish.
