The Iberville Parish Inmate Population
Iberville Parish has one sheriff-operated local jail and two Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections prisons inside the parish. The local custody count begins at Iberville Parish Jail on Bayou Road in Plaquemine. That jail is the booking, bond, and short-term detention facility for parish arrests. The sheriff's departments page says the jail houses male and female inmates, processes people who are arrested, handles bonding requirements, and has a listed capacity of 120 people.
The Iberville Sheriff's Office departments page is the source for the jail capacity, construction date, and Corrections/Parish Jail description.
That screenshot fits the population section because it ties the local count back to the sheriff-operated jail rather than the state prison facilities in St. Gabriel.
The state-prison side is different. Elayn Hunt Correctional Center and Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women are both in St. Gabriel, but they are not parish jail facilities. They hold people in Louisiana DPS&C custody, usually after sentencing or transfer. A person can be booked into the Iberville Parish Jail after arrest, later appear in court, and then transfer into state custody if sentenced to DPS&C. That movement changes where the public should search.
Iberville Parish Inmate Population Statistics
The safest local figures are the official jail capacity and a dated live roster count. The sheriff's departments page, viewed in June 2026, lists Iberville Parish Jail capacity as 120 male and female inmates. The public Zuercher roster API returned 97 current records on June 16, 2026, when tested with the current in-custody date. That works out to about 81 percent of rated capacity, but it is only a point-in-time comparison, not an official average daily population report.

|---|---|---|
| Iberville Parish Jail rated capacity | 120 male and female inmates | Sheriff departments page, viewed June 2026 |
| Current public roster count | 97 current records | Zuercher roster API test, June 16, 2026 |
| Point-in-time occupancy comparison | About 81 percent | Derived from 97 current records compared with 120 capacity |

Iberville Parish Jail Capacity Trends
No official Iberville annual bookings total, average daily population series, or demographic dashboard was located on the sheriff or DOC pages. That limits any trend discussion. The reliable local trend points show an older parish jail built in 1976, a current sheriff-listed capacity of 120, and a single live roster test that returned 97 current records. Broader comparisons can use national jail data from BJS, but national averages do not replace parish counts.
| Year or Date | Figure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1976 | Jail built | Iberville Sheriff's Office departments page |
| 2017 | 2,250 EHCC capacity / 1,873 population | Official PREA audit, state prison only |
| 2023 | 664,800 national jail ADP | BJS national local jail comparison |
| 2025 | 958 LCIW beds reported | Public reporting on the new St. Gabriel women's facility |
| June 16, 2026 | 97 current Iberville roster records | Live current roster test, not a permanent count |
Who Makes Up Iberville Parish Custody
The public roster does not publish aggregate demographic percentages. It does publish fields that show the type of detail available for each current jail row. Race filters include American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Unknown, and White. Sex filters include Female, Male, and Unknown. The public table uses age rather than full date of birth, which reduces how much identifying data appears in the current roster.
- Local pretrial custody is searched through the Iberville Parish Jail roster while the person remains in current jail custody.
- Local sentenced custody may still appear at the jail if the sentence is short or the person has not transferred.
- State prison custody belongs to DPS&C and is searched through VINELink/LAVNS or the DOC phone locator.
- Agency holds can involve Plaquemine City Court, the 18th JDC, DOC, ICE, U.S. Marshals, local police, or another parish.
Laws for Iberville Parish Records
Louisiana law supplies the route when an online roster does not answer a custody or booking-record question. La. R.S. 44:1 defines public records, public bodies, and custodians. The Title 44 public-records provisions cover inspection and copies, so a request for booking records, jail logs, or court files should be directed to the office that keeps the record. The sheriff keeps jail custody material. The Clerk of Court keeps district criminal proceedings.
Key statutes:
La. R.S. 44:1 defines public records and custodians under Louisiana Public Records Law.
La. R.S. 44:31, 44:32, and 44:33 support inspection and copy requests to the proper records custodian.
La. C.Cr.P. art. 234 defines booking photographs and sets removal duties for qualifying remove-for-pay publication requests.
Iberville Parish State Prison Population
Iberville Parish is unusual because two large state prisons sit inside the parish. EHCC is a state prison and reception or diagnostic facility for men in DPS&C custody. LCIW is the women's state prison in St. Gabriel. Those facilities should not be mixed into the local jail count unless a source clearly says it is counting all confined people physically located in the parish. For lookup purposes, the distinction is simple: jail arrest and bond custody uses the parish roster, while sentenced DPS&C custody uses Louisiana VINELink or the DOC locator phone at (225) 383-4580.
Search Iberville Parish Inmate Population
The official current jail roster is the Iberville Parish Zuercher inmate roster, linked from the sheriff homepage as Inmate Roster. It is a current-custody tool. It requires JavaScript, shows a presumption-of-innocence notice, and returns 50 records at a time. If the person is not listed, the next step is not guesswork. Call the jail at (225) 687-3553, check the state locator for a sentenced transfer, or contact the Clerk for court case records.
- Open the sheriff roster from the official sheriff homepage or go directly to the Zuercher current-inmate portal.
- Leave fields blank for the current list, or enter a name to narrow the result set.
- Use race, sex, cell block, or arrest date only when the name search returns too many rows.
- Read the detail row for charge, warrant, bond, judge, and held-for agency text.
- Use VINELink, BOP, or ICE when the record points outside parish jail custody.
Iberville Parish Current Inmate Lookup
The roster is configured as "Search for Current Inmates." Its In Custody On setting is effectively fixed to the current day, so it should not be treated as an archive for released jail detainees. New bookings may not appear instantly, and a released person may fall out of the current list. Urgent custody confirmation should go to the jail or inmate records staff at (225) 687-3553.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | No | Searches the name field; leaving it blank can show the current list. |
| Race | Dropdown | No | Includes listed race categories plus All. |
| Sex | Dropdown | No | Female, Male, Unknown, and All. |
| Cell Block | Dropdown | No | Includes ISO and UNK public cell-block labels. |
| Arrest Date | Date | No | Filters by a single arrest date. |
| In Custody On | Date | Current only | Configured for today's current inmates. |
Iberville Parish Inmate Record Fields
A public jail row is a custody snapshot. It is not the full court case, and it is not proof of conviction. The roster can show the arrest date, current housing label, held-for agency, and hold reasons. Hold-reason text can include charge or warrant language, statute or offense descriptions, bond amount, and the judge who set bond. Court filings may later amend, reduce, dismiss, or replace the booking charge.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | A booking-photo field when the current roster publishes an image; some rows may show a fallback icon. |
| Name | Last name, first name, and middle or suffix where present. |
| Age | Age in place of public date of birth. |
| Arrest Date | The date the booking arrest is tied to in the roster. |
| Held For Agency | The agency responsible for the custody hold or case path. |
| Hold Reasons | Charge, warrant, bond, judge, and related custody text where available. |
Iberville Parish Jail vs Prison
The most common search error is using the jail roster for a person who has already moved into DPS&C custody. Iberville Parish Jail is for arrest processing, pretrial detention, bond handling, and some local custody. EHCC and LCIW are state prisons. Federal sentenced prisoners use a separate BOP locator, and ICE detainees use ICE's detainee locator. A local jail row can mention ICE or U.S. Marshals as a hold, but that does not turn the parish roster into a federal database.
| Parish Jail | State Prison | Federal or ICE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Arrestees, pretrial detainees, bond holds | Sentenced DPS&C prisoners | Federal prisoners or immigration detainees |
| Run by | Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office | Louisiana DPS&C | BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE |
| Lookup | Zuercher current roster | VINELink/LAVNS or DOC phone locator | BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator |
Iberville Parish Detention Facilities
The facility map has one local jail and two state prisons. The local jail is first because it is the correct place for current parish arrest and bond custody. The state facilities are important because transfers after sentencing can make a person disappear from the parish roster even while still physically confined in Iberville Parish.
- Iberville Parish Jail holds male and female arrestees, pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, bond-processing holds, and agency holds.
- Elayn Hunt Correctional Center holds sentenced adult men in DPS&C custody and performs reception, diagnostic, medical, mental-health, and reentry roles.
- Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women holds sentenced adult women in DPS&C custody at the St. Gabriel facility.
Iberville Parish Jail Contacts
For current jail custody, call Iberville Parish Jail at (225) 687-3553. The sheriff contact directory lists the jail warden, assistant warden, jail commissary, and inmate records contacts under the jail number. The sheriff's main office is at 58050 Meriam Street in Plaquemine and can be reached at (225) 687-5100 or 1-800-577-4873. A dedicated warrants contact is listed at (225) 687-5120. No sheriff-specific online public-records request form or fee schedule was located, so Louisiana Public Records Law is the fallback for written requests.
Iberville Parish Inmate FAQ
How big is the Iberville Parish inmate population?
The dated current jail roster test returned 97 records on June 16, 2026. The sheriff's departments page lists the parish jail capacity as 120 people. State prison populations at EHCC and LCIW are separate DPS&C populations and should not be mixed into the jail count without a source that clearly does so.
How do I search the Iberville Parish inmate population?
Use the sheriff-linked Zuercher roster for current parish jail custody. Use VINELink/LAVNS or the DOC phone locator for sentenced DPS&C custody. Use the BOP or ICE locator for federal or immigration custody.
Are released inmates still listed?
The roster is configured for current inmates. A released person may not remain visible. Historical booking records, mugshot copies, or arrest documentation should be requested from the sheriff's records custodian or checked through formal court records when a case was filed.
