Terrebonne VINE Arrest Coverage
LA VINE is Louisiana's statewide victim-information and notification system. It grew out of a partnership. The partners were the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association, the Louisiana District Attorneys' Association, and the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, according to state materials. The system watches participating adult inmates. It covers parish jails and state prisons. Searching is free, online or by phone at 866-528-6748. VINE answers one question: where is this person right now? A result can show current status. It can also show the holding facility or jurisdiction and the notification choices available. It will not hand over the incident narrative or the later court disposition. It was never built for that. For a Terrebonne Parish arrest, the Jerry J. Larpenter Criminal Justice Complex is the main local jail. Louisiana DPS&C takes over once someone moves into state custody. The official Louisiana person-search screen shows the starting point. That starting point is always one named individual rather than a browsable list.
Think of the interface as a status tool. It is not a gallery of arrested people, and it cannot replace an official case file.
Check a Terrebonne Arrest
Start at the statewide interface. Even an arrest that happened in Houma or anywhere else in Terrebonne Parish belongs there. Compare names with care. Spelling differences and suffixes can skew a match. So can similar identities. If the screen asks for an identifier, take it from an official custody record. Never pick a result just because the age or name looks close.
- Open the Louisiana VINELink search and choose person search.
- Enter the legal name or identifier requested by the current form. Try a careful spelling variation if the first search fails.
- Compare identity and custody details. Confirm the facility or jurisdiction before relying on a match.
- Open the correct record to review current status and any alert-registration option.
- If no Terrebonne result appears, check the TPSO current-incarceration portal and call the booking desk at 985-857-0364 when prompt confirmation matters.
No result does not mean no arrest. Intake may still be underway, and an agency transmission may lag. The name may be entered differently, or the person may already be released. Another custodian may hold the record entirely. The parish portal shows current local custody. It also lists a held-for-agency field. The Terrebonne Parish recent-arrests hub sorts out which source answers which question. It runs from the roster to the booking record, photo, and later court docket.
Terrebonne VINE Status Fields
Results vary by participating system and by the current interface. Read each label literally. "In custody" means reported custody at that moment and nothing more. A facility change usually signals a transfer. A release notice will not tell you the legal reason behind the release.
| Field or signal | What it can establish | What it cannot establish |
|---|---|---|
| Name or identifier | Which VINE record was selected | Identity without checking other details |
| Custody status | Status most recently reported | A real-time guarantee or court result |
| Facility or jurisdiction | Reported custodian or system | The full arrest narrative |
| Demographic details | Help distinguishing similar names | Proof based on one field alone |
| Notification options | Which status alerts are supported | That every event will transmit without delay |
Louisiana's roster materials list date of birth, gender, and race on participating live rosters. The TPSO portal is separate. It exposes name, race, sex, arrest date, held-for-agency, and an age presentation of its own. Do not assume a field documented for CentralSquare will appear on VINE. That general update statement covers VINE alone. Do not stretch it to cover TPSO's portal.
Register for Terrebonne Custody Alerts
Once the right person is located, use the registration control on that record. Depending on what the screen offers, LA VINE can send notice of a release or transfer. Alerts can cover escape or another custody change. Registering is private alert setup. It is not a public comment and not a request to fix the underlying record.
- Select the notification or registration control on the matched custody record.
- Choose an offered delivery method, such as telephone or email, and enter the requested contact details.
- Create or enter a personal identification number when prompted. Keep that PIN private because it may be needed to manage the registration.
- Read the confirmation screen and save the details needed to update the alert later.
- Keep direct jail contact information available when a status change is urgent or safety planning depends on it.
Follow the live form, since the screen flow can change. Louisiana DOC's Victim Services page separates LA VINE from LAVO. LAVO is a distinct program. It serves qualifying victims tied to people in state custody. The two programs are not interchangeable. The official VINE alert service holds the notification entry point and explains its custody purpose.
An alert adds a notification channel, nothing more. When timing or safety is critical, confirm directly with the custodian.
Why Terrebonne VINE May Differ
One local limit stands out. The LA VINE roster directory describes the statewide roster as live. Louisiana refreshes it every 30 minutes. The Terrebonne Parish entry, though, reads OFFLINE. The apparent parish host behind that entry does not behave like a working roster. That status does not disable statewide VINELink search and alerts. What it means is narrower. The parish-specific roster cannot serve as a dependable live feed for Terrebonne arrests.
So build a fallback chain. Start with statewide VINELink. If the online search fails, call 866-528-6748. Next, check TPSO's CentralSquare portal for current local custody in Terrebonne Parish. That portal lists only current inmates and publishes no fixed refresh interval. Finally, phone the booking desk or the jail. The jail number is 985-857-0361. These checks may disagree briefly, because each rides a different data path.
Keep each answer's timestamp and scope in view. A VINE status reflects only the last report a participating agency sent to that service. CentralSquare offers a shifting local-custody picture, while a phone answer reflects what jail staff can confirm at that moment. A release removes a name from the current roster, yet the booking summary remains a public record. A transfer to Louisiana DOC custody can make the state channel the more useful one. Saving the person's official identifier helps when names are common or records jump between systems.
For a same-day view, use Arrested Today. For multi-day narratives, turn to Arrest Reports. Neither page turns a missing VINE result into proof that no arrest happened.
Custody Beyond Terrebonne VINE
Custody can outgrow the parish system. Louisiana DPS&C points inmate-information users to VINE. It also runs a telephone lookup route. That route covers people in state custody. A state prison status is not a new Terrebonne booking. For federal prison, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. Immigration detention goes through the separate DHS-VINE service or the ICE locator. Names alone will not do.
- Booking
- The jail intake process that records identity, alleged charges, and custody information.
- Transfer
- A move from one facility or custodian to another.
- Disposition
- The court’s recorded outcome, which is not supplied by a booking or VINE alert.
- Detainer
- A request or hold from another agency that may affect custody or release.
Courts answer the later questions. The 32nd Judicial District Court holds the trial record. The Terrebonne Clerk keeps the final outcome on file. A custody notice tells you where a person is reported held right now. It does not say how the charge ended. The Louisiana DOC victim-services source shows the separate state-custody channel.
Think of that state resource as a post-transfer tool. It never replaces Terrebonne's fresh-booking check for new arrests.
