St. Bernard Parish Jail Roster
The main local custody path is the St. Bernard LAVNS jail roster, identified in the research inventory as the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office Jail Roster and custody-notification portal. LAVNS is built for custody status and anonymous notification registration. It can help a user learn whether a person is in local custody or track status changes, but the dynamic portal did not return a full static sample profile during research.
The statewide backup is Louisiana VINELink person search. VINELink can be useful when a person moves from county-level custody to another Louisiana custody setting or when the local roster is not enough. For direct confirmation, call Corrections / Parish Prison or use the Louisiana DPS&C local jail listing for the St. Bernard Parish Prison.
The VINELink Louisiana person search is one of the successful assigned image sources for this page.
The statewide tool supports custody-status searches beyond the local St. Bernard Parish jail roster when the person may have moved or when notification registration is needed.
Search the St. Bernard Parish Inmate Roster
Use the roster as a custody check, not as a court-record search. A booking record can exist before a final charge decision, plea, dismissal, sentence, or expungement. If the question is what charge was filed in court or how the case ended, the official case path shifts to the Clerk and 34th Judicial District Court. For the arrest-to-charge path, see St. Bernard Parish arrest records and charges.
- Open the St. Bernard LAVNS jail roster and search with the person's legal name when possible.
- Review any matching custody result for facility, status, and notification options.
- Use VINELink Louisiana if the local roster is unavailable or the person may have transferred.
- Call Parish Prison if the roster result is unclear, urgent, or does not match known details.
- Use the Clerk or court route for final case disposition, pleas, sentences, and criminal minutes.
Note: LAVNS and VINELink are custody-notification tools and should not be used as proof of guilt or final case outcome.
St. Bernard Parish Inmate Search Fields
The LAVNS and VINELink interfaces are dynamic, so the research captured a partial field set rather than a full static form. The visible purpose is person search and notification. Use precise identifiers because spelling differences, nicknames, and recent transfers can affect results.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Person search | Search interface | Unspecified | Dynamic LAVNS/VINELink interface; likely person-name based. |
| Name | Text | Unspecified | Use the legal name rather than a nickname or short form. |
| Registration / notification | Link or workflow | Optional | Allows anonymous notification registration for custody-status changes. |
| Agency/location | Portal context | Optional | Use St. Bernard Parish Jail or Louisiana VINE context when available. |
What St. Bernard Parish Inmate Profiles Show
A full public sample inmate profile was not available from the static research capture. The inventory below is limited to fields expected when the LAVNS or VINELink custody profile makes them visible. Treat any charge or case detail as a custody clue until it is verified against the court case file.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person matched in the custody search. |
| Custody status | Whether the person appears to be held, released, transferred, or otherwise updated. |
| Facility | The jail or custody location shown by LAVNS or VINELink. |
| Booking date | The date tied to intake if the portal displays it. |
| Release status | Release, transfer, or status-change information when made public. |
| Notification option | A registration path for custody-status changes. |
| Offender ID or booking number | An identifier if the portal publishes one. |
| Charge or case data | Possible charge or case clues, not a certified court disposition. |

County Jail vs State Prison Records
A St. Bernard Parish inmate result can change when a person moves from local custody to state custody or another agency. Parish Prison records are sheriff custody records. Louisiana DPS&C records are state correctional records. Federal detainees, immigration holds, and out-of-parish warrants may involve a different agency even when a local booking or hold appears first.
The local jail roster is best for current or recent parish custody. VINELink is useful for broader Louisiana custody notifications. The Clerk's criminal records and minutes are the better source for pleas, convictions, dismissals, sentences, probation terms, and final dispositions in St. Bernard Parish criminal court records.
The source inventory also separates the public records roles. The Sheriff's Office is the custodian for jail and prison records in its custody, arrest and booking material, police reports, incident reports, accident reports, background checks, body-camera footage, and incarceration letters. The Clerk is the custodian for district-court criminal filings and minutes. Parish government warns that it does not maintain criminal certificates or police reports. That split helps explain why one person may have a LAVNS custody entry, a sheriff report request, and a separate court case file.
The App Store listing for St. Bernard Parish Sheriff LA is another successful assigned source image for this inmate page.
The sheriff app supports crime reporting, tip submission, public-safety information, and news, but the research did not confirm an app-only inmate roster or warrant lookup.
Booking, Bond, and Magistrate Settings
After an arrest in St. Bernard Parish, the Sheriff's Office handles transport, intake, booking, custody records, and initial jail status. The District Attorney then decides whether to accept, screen, amend, or file charges. The 34th JDC magistrate and bond-setting process can become relevant before a full court case file is easy to find in the Clerk's paid portal.
The 34th JDC publishes a 2026 magistrate rotation, and the DA site and app advertise Magistrate Court and Bond Settings. A booked person may have a bond-setting event, new court date, no-bond hold, or release status update before a final case disposition exists. That is why an inmate lookup and a criminal case lookup may not match on the same day.
For bond or court-date context, use the court, Clerk, assigned division, DA docket tools, or counsel. For custody location, use Parish Prison, LAVNS, or VINELink. For copies of law-enforcement records or letters, use the Sheriff's Criminal Records / Reports line and the fee schedule.
St. Bernard Parish Inmate Record Fees
The Sheriff's public-records fee schedule became effective January 1, 2024. It is useful when a custody question becomes a records request for an incarceration letter, accident report, incident report, background check, body-camera footage, copies, photos, video, or audio. Active law-enforcement limits can still restrict what is released.
| Record / Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Letter of Incarceration | $25 |
| Accident Reports | $20 |
| Incident Reports | $25 first 5 pages; additional pages $1 each |
| Background Checks | $25 |
| Body Camera Footage, electronic only | $50 |
| Copies, including electronic copies | $1 per page |
| Photos / Video / Audio | $10 per disc |

Attorney visits are different from social visits. Counsel should call Corrections or Parish Prison directly for access and scheduling expectations.
St. Bernard Parish Inmate Notifications
LAVNS and VINELink are most useful when the goal is notification. The research notes that users can register anonymously for custody-status changes through the St. Bernard LAVNS jail roster. This can help victims, family members, attorneys, and concerned parties track changes without treating the roster as a certified case file.
Notification records can lag or change. A person may be booked, released, transferred, or held for another jurisdiction. If timing matters, call the Parish Prison. If the question is a final charge, sentence, or disposition, use the Clerk's criminal records route after the case is filed.
Keep the notification purpose narrow. LAVNS and VINELink can alert a registrant to custody movement, but they do not replace direct contact with Corrections for jail rules or direct contact with court offices for hearings. They also do not confirm whether the District Attorney has accepted, reduced, dismissed, or amended a charge after booking.
St. Bernard Parish Sheriff App
The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff LA app is listed on Apple and Google Play. The descriptions identify the publisher or developer as the Sheriff's Office, with the Google Play package com.ocv.a1484. The advertised features include reporting crimes, submitting tips, interactive features, and public-safety news and information. The listings also warn that the app is not for emergency situations and users should call 911 in an emergency.
No inmate roster or active-warrant search was confirmed from the app-store descriptions. Use the app for the features documented by the official listings, and use LAVNS, VINELink, Parish Prison, and Sheriff records contacts for custody or inmate records.
The Google Play listing for St. Bernard Parish Sheriff LA is the third successful assigned image source for this page.
The mobile listing is useful for public-safety app context, while the inmate lookup itself remains tied to LAVNS, VINELink, and jail contacts.
What St. Bernard Parish Inmate Records Do Not Prove
Custody information is not a conviction record. A person can be booked and later released, have charges refused, receive amended charges, plead to a different offense, have a case dismissed, or later obtain an expungement where allowed by Louisiana law. Juvenile records and some law-enforcement records can also be confidential or restricted.
Use the inmate roster to answer custody questions. Use the Clerk, 34th JDC, DA, or counsel to answer prosecution and court-disposition questions. Use the Sheriff's records line for sheriff-held reports and copies. That separation keeps a St. Bernard Parish inmate search from being mistaken for a complete criminal history search.
