Lafayette Jail Mugshots Search
Lafayette jail mugshots are managed by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, which operates the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on Lafayette Street. The Lafayette Police Department handles arrests within city limits, but all inmates end up at the parish jail for booking and housing. The sheriff's office posts a public inmate list through 365Labs that shows mugshots, charges, and bond amounts for current inmates. Lafayette is the hub of Acadiana and the parish seat, so its jail processes bookings from the city police, the sheriff's office, and other agencies across the parish.
