Lafayette Parish Booking Releases
Lafayette Parish booking releases are maintained by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office (LPSO) in Lafayette.

The portal shows currently housed inmates and recently booked offenders, and the LAVINE roster provides an additional live feed of current custody data for anyone in Lafayette Parish custody.

The LPSO transitioned from its earlier JADES (Jail Active Data Environment Systems) to the 365Labs Community Portal for managing inmate lists.
