Iberia Released Inmates Search Tools
The Iberia Parish LAVINE roster is a free online tool for looking up inmates. It pulls data from the state VINE system and updates every 15 minutes for jails. You can search by name, ID number, or case number. The results show the person's name, charges, and current status. If someone has been released, the record will reflect that.
The statewide LAVNS portal is another option. Select Iberia Parish from the location menu to narrow your search. VINE also lets you set up free alerts. If you want to know the moment an inmate is released from the Iberia Parish Jail, VINE will notify you by call, text, or email. This works around the clock.
When you search for a released inmate, you will see standard data fields. These include the person's name, booking info, charges, arrest date, arresting agency, and status. The booking date and location within the jail are also listed. Each record is tied to a single booking event, so a person with more than one stay will have multiple entries.
Note: The sheriff's online inmate list updates every 24 hours, while LAVNS updates every 15 minutes, so VINE data is usually more current.

Under the Louisiana Public Records Act (R.S. 44:1), booking records at the parish level are public. Anyone can ask to see them. You do not have to be a party to the case.

For state records, write to DPS&C at P.O. Box 94304, Baton Rouge, LA 70804 or email docpublicrecords@la.gov. For Iberia Parish records, start with the sheriff's office. The DPS&C offender info page is where you go if an Iberia inmate was transferred to state prison.
