Search Lafourche Parish Released Inmates Online
Lafourche Parish has more than one way to look up released inmates online. The Zuercher Portal is a search tool run by the sheriff's office. It shows current and recent inmate data. You can search by name to see charges, bond info, and custody status. This portal also lists active warrants in the parish.
The Lafourche Parish LAVNS roster is another free search option. LAVNS pulls data from local jails every 30 minutes. You can look up inmates by name, ID, or case number. Each record shows the name, date of birth, gender, race, charges, and bond info. If the person has been released, the record will reflect that status. You can also sign up for free alerts when an inmate is moved or let go.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office website ties all these tools together. Below is a screenshot of the sheriff's main page.
You can reach the Zuercher Portal and LAVNS links from the sheriff's site. It loads well on phones and desktops.
Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex
The Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex opened in January 2019. It replaced the older Lafourche Parish Detention Center. The new facility is at 2594 Veterans Boulevard in Thibodaux.

Once someone posts bond or finishes their time, they become a released inmate. Their booking record stays in the system and can be looked up through the online tools even after they leave the facility.

Everything else held by the Louisiana DPS&C is confidential.
