1. What should I do first?
Find the booking through our Lafourche inmate search, which links to the sheriff's portal. Then phone the complex at 985-449-4458 to get the bond and learn about holds.
↑ Back to the question list2. Does the parish have other jails?
The Correctional Complex is the parish's main jail, holding people arrested by the sheriff, Thibodaux, Lockport, Golden Meadow and state police. The sheriff also runs a Transitional Work Program at 1156 Highway 90 East, Raceland, LA 70394, 985-537-9650, for sentenced inmates on work release. Youths go to the Lafourche Parish Juvenile Detention Center.
↑ Back to the question list3. How soon will bail be reviewed?
Within 72 hours of arrest, minus weekends and holidays, a judge must see the person (Article 230.1). A lawyer can be appointed at that time.
↑ Back to the question list4. Which bonds does Louisiana use?
Commercial surety, secured personal surety, unsecured personal surety, release without surety, and cash, per Article 321. For crimes of violence, the unsecured types are barred.
↑ Back to the question list5. What can I pay a cash bond with?
Article 326 allows currency, money orders, certified checks, cashier's checks, and U.S. or Louisiana bonds. Ask the Thibodaux complex which forms it takes before you go.
↑ Back to the question list6. What can a bondsman charge?
No more than 12 percent of the bond, and at least $120 (R.S. 22:1443). That premium is not refunded.
↑ Back to the question list7. Where is the clerk of court?
The Lafourche Clerk of Court is at 303 W. Third Street, Thibodaux, LA 70301, with mail to P.O. Box 818, Thibodaux, LA 70302-0818. You can call it at 985-447-4841.
↑ Back to the question list8. How long until a cash bond is returned?
Until the case is resolved and the defendant kept every date. Fines or costs may be taken out. Our money guide shows how to add funds to a jail account.
↑ Back to the question list9. What happens after a no-show?
The judge can order an arrest and begin bond forfeiture. Signers on a commercial bond may be pursued for payment. Article 312 limits bail after repeat failures.
↑ Back to the question list10. Does bail clear a detainer?
No, because Act 314 of 2024 requires Louisiana agencies to work with ICE detainers, and holds from other parishes stay in place too. If the person is moved, check the ICE locator. Federal charges go to New Orleans.
↑ Back to the question list11. How is a 17-year-old handled?
As an adult, if the act took place on or after April 19, 2024. Younger children go to juvenile court.
