Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Mugshots
The Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office operates from 3618 Broken Arrow Road in New Iberia. The Iberia Parish Sheriff's website provides information about the office and its operations. The main phone number is 337-369-3714. For jail-specific questions, call 337-369-2431. The jail has its own phone line because it is a large operation with about 65 employees.
The Iberia Parish Jail is a significant facility. It holds up to 520 prisoners at any given time. That is a big capacity for a parish of this size. The jail holds inmates from multiple agencies. City police, parish deputies, state agencies, and even federal law enforcement can house detainees here. Each booking creates a record with a mugshot, charges, and personal information. All of these records are public under La. R.S. 44:1.
With roughly 65 employees running the jail, there is dedicated staff for jail records and intake. This makes it easier to get booking information compared to some smaller parishes where one or two people handle everything. The records staff can pull up jail mugshots and booking details for you if you call or visit. Each arrest creates a mugshot that stays on file.

Iberia Parish LAVNS Inmate Roster
The LAVNS system for Iberia Parish updates on a 24-hour cycle. That is slower than some parishes that update every 30 minutes. So there may be a short delay between a booking and when it shows up on the roster. The system is still useful for checking who is currently in custody, but keep that timing in mind.
The Iberia Parish LAVNS portal provides current inmate data for the parish jail.
Once someone is released or transferred, their name drops off the active inmate roster. For historical booking data or jail mugshots of people who are no longer in custody, you will need to go through the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office directly. The jail keeps arrest records on file even after release.
Iberia Parish Booking Records
The Iberia Parish Jail processes a high number of bookings because it serves multiple agencies. Every booking follows the same process. Staff take a mugshot, record the person's information, and document all charges. The booking record becomes part of the public file.
A standard Iberia Parish booking record includes:
- Full name, date of birth, and physical description
- Mugshot photo
- Charges and arresting agency
- Bond amount and court dates
- Housing assignment within the jail
Because the jail holds inmates from city, parish, state, and federal agencies, the arrest records can involve different jurisdictions. If someone was arrested by federal agents and booked into the Iberia Parish Jail, the booking record is still local. But the case itself may be federal. This can affect what information is available and who controls the release of certain jail records. Standard booking data and jail mugshots remain accessible under La. R.S. 44:1 regardless of which agency made the arrest.
Note: Iberia Parish booking records include jail mugshots from all arresting agencies, whether city police, parish deputies, or federal officers.
