Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Evangeline Parish. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

General Evangeline Parish Sheriff assistance, using its published 24-hour non-emergency number. Ask for detention staff to confirm parish custody or transfer. Municipal initial police custody may precede parish intake.

Call the published Sheriff non-emergency number and ask for the detention staff or the facility handling custody, release or transfer. The number was not called.

LA VINE custody information: 866-528-6748

LCLE publishes LA VINE adult custody information for parish jails and state prisons. Its advertised parish web-roster endpoints were unavailable in this review.

Use the published LA VINE custody-information phone service or the responsible parish sheriff. This is phone assistance; no call or individual lookup was tested.

Search Louisiana participating-agency custody — LA VINE phone/online service information is separate from the unavailable individual parish roster endpoints.

Local source reviewed 2026-10-05. This is published phone assistance; the number was not called.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the Louisiana correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

DOC jurisdiction only, including state prisoners housed locally; not every parish booking.

Louisiana DOC locator: 225-383-4580

Provide the DPS&C number, or name and date of birth requested by the official phone locator. It returns the assigned facility/contact information. The number was not called.

Agency disclosure and phone response are not guaranteed.

Reviewed 2026-10-05. Search availability is unconfirmed or this is an instructions/phone route.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.

If you need to bail them out in Louisiana

Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are being held, this is how getting them out works in Louisiana.

Commercial bail available

Release depends on the court’s order. A payment is not required in every case. Ask the court which secured-bond options, if any, are permitted; a private commercial bond service has separate fees and conditions. Confirm the process before paying anyone.

The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.

If there is also a warrant to deal with

Two companion guides pick up where this one leaves off — checking for a warrant, and resolving it on your own terms.
