You can also inspect records in person at the TPCJC or the Terrebonne Parish government offices. In-person inspection is free under Louisiana law. You only pay when you need copies made. La.

Houma Booking Records and Louisiana Law
Booking records in Houma are public under Louisiana law. La. R.S. 44:1 defines public records broadly to include all books, records, writings, and papers made or kept by government agencies. That covers arrest logs, booking sheets, and inmate rosters. Louisiana Revised Statute 15:574.12 adds that correctional facilities must maintain accurate and complete records for all people in their custody.
Some records are not public. La. R.S. 44:3 exempts ongoing investigations, juvenile records, and records that could compromise facility security. If an arrest has been expunged under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Articles 971 through 995, it will not show up in any public search. Article 972 defines what arrest information is publicly available in cases that have not been sealed.
The Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government handles records requests for both the city and parish. Since Houma and Terrebonne Parish are one government, there is a single point of contact for public records. The Louisiana DOC Offender Search can help if the person has been transferred to a state prison.
