Iberville Parish Jail Overview
Iberville Parish Jail is operated by the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office. The jail is located at 59605 Bayou Road in Plaquemine and serves as the parish-level booking, detention, and bond-processing facility. The sheriff's departments page describes the jail as the Corrections/Parish Jail operation for the Sheriff's Department, with male and female inmates, arrested people awaiting processing, people held while bonding requirements are handled, and local custody matters tied to court appearances.
The jail should be separated from the two Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections prisons in St. Gabriel. A person arrested by an Iberville Parish deputy, municipal officer, or another listed agency may first appear on the sheriff's current inmate roster. A person already sentenced to Louisiana DPS&C custody belongs in the state locator system, even if the prison is physically inside Iberville Parish. Sheriff Brett M. Stassi's office is the local law-enforcement operator, while the jail contact directory lists Warden Joseph Edwards, Assistant Warden Derrick McPhate, Jail Commissary Brooklyn Marionneaux, and inmate-records staff Mallory Simpson and Claudine Williams through the jail number.
The official sheriff departments page says the jail was built in 1976, is on Bayou Road in south Plaquemine, and houses up to 120 male and female inmates. Public roster housing labels include cell-block and holding labels such as ISO Holding, ISO Isolation, and UNK blocks. Those labels are public roster fields, not a full security-classification manual, so they should be treated as location indicators only.
Iberville Parish Jail Capacity and Population
The most specific official capacity figure found for Iberville Parish Jail is the sheriff's statement that the jail houses up to 120 male and female inmates. A point-in-time roster API test on June 16, 2026 returned 97 current records for the current inmate table. Compared to the 120-person capacity, that point-in-time count is about 81 percent occupancy, but it is a derived comparison rather than an official daily population report. The sheriff and roster pages do not publish a multi-year average daily population, annual bookings count, or official demographic dashboard.
The public roster exposes race, sex, and age fields for individual entries, but it does not publish an official aggregate race, age, or sex table. Any demographic percentage would require a dated point-in-time extract and should not be treated as an official sheriff statistic.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Iberville Parish Jail
For county-jail custody, use the official Iberville Parish Zuercher current inmate roster. It is the correct lookup channel for people currently held at Iberville Parish Jail. It is not the correct tool for sentenced state-prison custody at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center or Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women.
- Open the sheriff homepage and choose the inmate roster link, or go directly to the Zuercher roster page.
- Search by name and review current rows carefully, since spelling, middle names, and booking names can affect results.
- Confirm the person is still shown as in custody at Iberville Parish Jail before sending money, arranging a visit, or traveling.
- Open the profile or row details for booking date, listed charges, agency, bond, housing label, and status fields when available.
If the roster does not load, if the name is missing, or if the person may have been released or transferred, call the jail at (225) 687-3553. The sheriff contact directory lists the jail, jail commissary, and inmate-records contacts through that number. For a state-prison sentence, use Louisiana VINELink/LAVNS and the DOC locator phone instead.
The official roster screenshot is a county-level lookup image rather than a facility photograph, so the jail facility image used here is the matching sheriff departments page. The sheriff's departments page is the source that identifies the Corrections/Parish Jail role, capacity, and building history.
That official departments page is useful because it ties the Bayou Road facility to booking, bonding, and the 120-person jail capacity, which are the details a roster search does not always explain.
Iberville Parish Jail Address and Contact
Use the jail phone for custody confirmation, inmate records, commissary questions, and local visitation instructions. The DOC parish page confirms the jail phone and fax, and the sheriff contact directory routes jail staff through the same phone number. The sheriff headquarters number is separate from the jail line and is better for general Sheriff's Office business.

Visiting Someone at Iberville Parish Jail
Official sheriff pages reviewed did not publish a full Iberville Parish Jail visitation schedule, visitor-approval process, dress code, video vendor, parking rule, or lobby hour table. Because jail access can change with staffing, housing status, disciplinary restrictions, medical holds, court transport, or emergency conditions, visitors should call (225) 687-3553 before traveling to Bayou Road. Ask whether the person is eligible for visits, what identification is required, where to check in, whether minors may visit, and whether the visit is in person or by video.
| Visit Issue | Current Source | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Published schedule | Not posted on official sheriff pages reviewed | Call the jail at (225) 687-3553 before planning a visit. |
| Visitor check-in | Not posted | Confirm lobby location, arrival time, and photo ID rules by phone. |
| Video visits | No official vendor or schedule located | Ask the jail whether video visitation is available for the person. |
| Restrictions | Facility-controlled | Confirm housing, court, medical, or discipline restrictions before traveling. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Iberville Parish Jail
The official research sources did not publish jail mail formatting rules, a phone vendor, a video vendor, deposit provider, commissary fee table, or kiosk information for Iberville Parish Jail. The sheriff contact directory does list a Jail Commissary contact through (225) 687-3553. Before sending mail or funds, call that number and confirm the person's legal name, booking number if needed, mailing format, accepted items, and current commissary deposit options.
| Service | Official Detail Located | Practical Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Address | Jail mailing address: P.O. Box 449, Plaquemine, LA 70765 | Call for exact inmate-name and booking-number format. |
| Phone / Video | No official provider identified in reviewed sources | Ask the jail which calling or video system is active. |
| Money Deposit | Jail Commissary contact listed at (225) 687-3553 | Confirm kiosk, online, money-order, and fee rules before depositing. |
Do not assume state-prison JPay rules apply to the parish jail. JPay and Union Supply Direct rules in the research apply to people in Louisiana DPS&C custody, not necessarily to local pretrial jail detainees.
Booking and Intake at Iberville Parish Jail
Iberville Parish Jail processes people after arrest and handles bonding requirements. The roster may show current-inmate fields such as booking information, charges, bond-related details, agency, sex, race, age, and housing or cell-block labels. Booking charges are early custody information and can differ from later court filings. Prosecutors can add, amend, reduce, or dismiss charges after review, and the Clerk of Court or 18th Judicial District Court records may show the formal case record after filing.
For someone who is newly arrested, the most useful sequence is to check the current roster, call the jail if the roster has not updated, and then check court or clerk channels after the first court events. For someone who has disappeared from the jail roster, ask whether the person was released, transferred to another facility, moved to state custody, or held for another agency. The roster agency list can include federal or immigration agencies, but federal or ICE custody still requires confirmation with the responsible agency.
About Iberville Parish Jail
The jail is part of the sheriff's Corrections/Parish Jail function. It supports local law enforcement in Iberville Parish by receiving arrested people, maintaining short-term custody, and connecting custody status to bond processing and court appearances. The Sheriff's Office homepage describes the office as the chief law-enforcement agency for the parish and notes that it works with municipal law-enforcement agencies. Communications operations include dispatchers at Plaquemine central dispatch located at the jail facility, as well as Maringouin and St. Gabriel substations.
Recent local context also shows how parish and state systems intersect. In June 2026, sheriff homepage posts included arrests tied to an alleged attempt to smuggle marijuana into Elayn Hunt Correctional Center during a visit, with the accused people booked into Iberville Parish Jail. That type of event illustrates why one person may appear in the parish jail system while a related incident concerns a state prison across the parish.
Note: Confirm custody, visit eligibility, mail rules, and commissary options with the jail before traveling or sending money.
