Lafayette Parish 72 Hour Booking Records
Lafayette Parish 72 hour booking records track every arrest made in this consolidated city-parish over the past three days. Sheriff Mark Garber leads the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, which runs the local jail and posts booking data online. In September 2024, the office switched from the old JADES system to a new 365Labs Community Portal. This new tool has a "Recent Bookings" checkbox that shows all arrests from the last 72 hours. You can search by name, booking number, or browse the full list. The portal is free but requires a quick account setup to view results.
Lafayette Parish Quick Facts
365Labs 72 Hour Booking Portal
Lafayette Parish replaced its old JADES jail system with the 365Labs Community Portal in September 2024. This is now the main way to look up 72 hour booking records. The portal is free. You just need to make a user account, which takes about a minute.
Once you are logged in, click "Lookup Inmates" from the menu. You will see a checkbox that says "Recent Bookings." Check that box, leave the name fields blank, and hit Search. The system pulls up every person booked in the last 72 hours. If you want a specific person, type their first name, last name, or booking number instead. Results show the booking date, charges, and current status.
The old JADES system had more demographic data. During the switch to 365Labs, some fields went missing for a while. Date of birth, race, height, weight, and hair color were not showing in all records. The sheriff's office said these features would roll out as the new system gets updated. Check the sheriff's office instructions page for step-by-step guides on using the new portal.
The 365Labs portal shown above is the current tool for searching Lafayette Parish booking records. The "Recent Bookings" checkbox filters results to the last 72 hours.

LAVINE Booking Records for Lafayette Parish
The LAVINE roster at Lafayette.LAVINE.org serves as a backup source for booking records. LAVINE is the statewide system that collects jail data from every parish. It shows who is in custody and who was recently booked. If the 365Labs portal is down or if you do not want to make an account, try LAVINE first.
LAVINE also connects to the VINE alert system. A green checkmark next to an inmate's name means you can sign up for custody change alerts through vinelink.com. This is useful for crime victims. La. R.S. 15:574.12 gives victims the right to be told about custody changes, and VINE handles that for Lafayette Parish bookings.
How to Search Lafayette Parish Booking Records
There are a few ways to look up a 72 hour booking in Lafayette Parish. The fastest is the 365Labs portal. Here is how it works step by step:
- Go to the 365Labs Community Portal link
- Create a free account or sign in
- Click "Lookup Inmates"
- Check "Recent Bookings" for 72 hour arrests
- Enter a name or leave blank for all results
- Click Search
For all current inmates, not just recent bookings, uncheck the "Recent Bookings" box and clear all search fields. Then click Search. The full roster loads up. You can also enter a booking number if you have one. Each result shows the charges, bond info, and booking date.
If you need to go in person, head to the Correctional Center at 916 Lafayette Street. Bring ID. Staff there can pull up any booking record and print a copy. Under La. R.S. 44:32, the office must respond to records requests within three business days, though booking lookups are usually handled right away.
Note: The 365Labs system requires a free account, but there is no charge to search or view records.
What Lafayette Parish Booking Records Include
A 72 hour booking record from Lafayette Parish has the person's name, booking date, and charges. The 365Labs system also shows the current status, whether the person is still in custody or has been released. Bond amounts are listed when set by the court.
Some demographic data may be limited right now. The switch from JADES to 365Labs in September 2024 left a few fields incomplete. Date of birth, race, height, weight, and hair color were not showing for all records during the transition. The sheriff's office is working to restore these fields as the new system gets fully set up. Under La. R.S. 44:3, certain records tied to active investigations may also be withheld, but basic booking data stays public. The state DOC tracks offenders who go to state prison at doc.la.gov.
