The St. Martin Parish VINE roster is the main online tool for looking up released inmates in this parish. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. It is part of the Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System, or LAVNS. This tool tracks who is in jail and who has been let go. Data for parish jails updates about every 15 minutes. You can search by name, ID number, or case number. Registration for automatic alerts is also available so you know right away when an inmate's status changes.

The statewide version of this tool is at VINELink. You can also call 1-866-528-6748 for the phone line. This service covers all parish jails and state prisons in Louisiana. It is free to use. VINE does not track warrants and may not show charge details for every facility. If you need more info about charges or a specific release, call the St. Martin Parish Jail at (337) 394-3071.

Note: VINE data may not include every past release, so contact the jail for older records.
