1. Open the IPSO inmate search.
2. Enter a surname, using a partial spelling if you're unsure.
3. Click "Read More" beside a match to see booking date, charges and any bond listed.
4. Choose "Notify Me of Status Change" to get an alert when that entry is updated, such as a release or transfer.

When a name will not come up, phone Broken Arrow Road at 337-369-2431.

Entries we opened in October 2026 carried a blank placeholder image rather than a booking photo. A copy can be requested from IPSO at 337-369-3714. Louisiana's Act 281 of 2024, in force since August 1, 2024, lets Louisiana agencies share pre-conviction booking photos, and a pay-to-remove website has 7 days to drop the photo for free after a dismissal, acquittal, pardon or expungement.

Photos from an ICE arrest go through ICE's FOIA office; a federal booking photo comes from the U.S. Marshals. Acadiana news stations sometimes air booking photos from New Iberia; whether IPSO releases one is the sheriff's decision.

Deputies fingerprint, photograph and screen each arrival before the entry goes live, so the first hour or two after arrival can show nothing. Ring 337-369-2431 and give the legal name and birthday. City arrests can also sit at the New city police station briefly before transport.

Arrests across a parish line go to that parish. Try Lafayette Parish Correctional Center to the north, Vermilion Parish to the west, and the St. Martin and St. Mary parish jails east along U.S. 90. Federal arrests usually show in the BOP inmate locator only after a court date.

Yes. New Iberia and Jeanerette officers often write a summons for minor offenses. That person never appears in the IPSO search but must show up in New Iberia City Court or Jeanerette City Court when the paper says.

Article 230.1 of the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure sets 72 hours from arrest, leaving out weekends and legal holidays. A 16th Judicial District judge reviews probable cause, sets bail and appoints the public defender for anyone unable to hire counsel. If Iberia misses that deadline, the person goes free on a signature.

Open "Read More" on the search entry; a bond figure appears once a judge sets one. A blank amount means bail has not been fixed, or a hold from another agency is keeping the person regardless. Ask Broken Arrow Road at 337-369-2431 what the total is across all charges before arranging money.

Judges in New Iberia set the amount, and families can satisfy it in four ways: - Cash: the full amount, refunded through the clerk when the case ends, less court costs. - Property: land in Louisiana with enough equity, filed through the clerk. - Commercial surety: a licensed bondsman, whose state-regulated premium is capped at 12 percent. - Release on recognizance: a signature promise, only when a judge allows it.

Our Iberia bail guide explains each type in depth.

The clerk's property bond page lists these steps: 1. Get the judge's approval for a property bond, and confirm there are no holds that would keep the person jailed anyway. 2. Obtain the tax assessment from the Iberia assessor, 121 W. Pershing Street, Suite 100. 3. Order a mortgage certificate from the clerk, about $20 to $30, to show liens. 4. The sheriff's civil department at 300 Iberia Street prepares the Lien and Privilege form. 5. Record it with the clerk, roughly $110. 6. Deliver the recorded paperwork to the jail.

Removing the lien after the case closes costs about $60 and starts with the district attorney's office, second floor of the courthouse.

Children under 17 go to juvenile court, since Louisiana returned 17-year-olds to adult court on April 19, 2024. Iberia runs no youth detention center, so a child ordered held is placed in a regional center; see our Lafayette juvenile detention page and confirm with IPSO.

Those cases go to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette Division, clerk at 800 Lafayette Street, Suite 2100, Lafayette, LA 70501, 337-593-5000.
