Louisiana Inmate Search

The Louisiana Department of Corrections keeps a database of recent and previous inmates. The general public can easily access this information via different data banks or online websites.  

Interested parties can easily access detainees' records under the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C) by searching the Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System (LAVNS). The searchers can enter the location, name, or inmate ID number in the search box available on the website. The site also has information regarding the probation or parole supervision units.  

Requesters must register with the LAVNS to locate detainees in Louisiana state prisons. The system provides regular updates on the progress of the inmates registered under the legal system. Members can also utilize the legal system to trace the custodial status of the inmate along with the court proceedings.  

On the other hand, interested parties can conduct a Louisiana State inmate search by calling the agency at 225-383-4580. The system also contains updates on DPS&C inmates’ records and probation-bound criminals.
