Vermilion Parish Jail Roster Overview
The Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office publishes a Prisoner Search for current inmates at Vermilion Parish Correctional Center. The page is the main online route for current local custody. It includes visible choices for Last 24 Hours, Search by Name, and Search by Letter, plus facility contact cards for booking and jail administration. VPSO also tells users that the information is updated regularly but may not show the most current status.
That warning is important. A Vermilion Parish inmate record on the roster is a public lookup result, not the jail's only custody source. A new booking may not be posted yet. A person may have been released, transferred, or sent to state custody after sentencing. The direct booking line, VPSO Records Division, Louisiana LAVNS, the DPS&C phone locator, BOP, and ICE are all part of the access chain when the roster does not answer the question.
Use the Vermilion Parish Inmate Roster
Start with the current VPSO roster when the person may be housed at Vermilion Parish Correctional Center. The roster is free and does not require a login. The older official prisoner page remains useful because it documents search behavior that the current page did not expose in text capture, including partial-name search and CCN search.
- Open the VPSO Prisoner Search for current jail custody.
- Select Last 24 Hours for a new arrest or Search by Name for a known person.
- Use Search by Letter when spelling is uncertain or the last name may have variants.
- Check the older official VPSO prisoner page if a partial-name or CCN search may help.
- Call booking at (337) 898-4430 when the person was just arrested or the roster result conflicts with other information.
- Use LAVNS or the DPS&C phone locator when the person was sentenced to Louisiana state custody.

The roster screen supports the same practical workflow: search online first, then use the booking phone when current custody status matters.
Vermilion Parish Roster Search Fields
The public roster controls are not the same across the two official VPSO pages. The current page organizes the search into tabs. The older page gives more detailed instructions about acceptable text searches and confirms that all name searches are partial searches. The table below uses only controls documented in the research.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last 24 Hours | Tab/button | No | Current page tab for inmates arrested within the last 24 hours. |
| Search by Name | Tab/button | No | Current page control for name search, with field details not rendered in text capture. |
| Search by Letter | Tab/button | No | Current page control for browsing by letter. |
| Recent Arrest | Button | No | Older official page button for recent-arrest lookup. |
| Search text box | Text | Unspecified | Older page accepts first name and last name, first name only, last name only, or CCN. |
| By Last Name | Dropdown | No | Older page includes blank, ALL, and A through Z options. |
Vermilion Parish Inmate Profile Details
The research did not capture a reliable full inmate profile from the dynamic VPSO results area. That limits what can be promised. The older official page does confirm several public-facing record elements, and the current page confirms the roster covers current inmates at the correctional center. If a field is not proven by an official source, it should not be treated as guaranteed on a Vermilion Parish inmate record.
| Field or Item | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name search | Search may use first name, last name, both, or partial names on the older page. |
| CCN | The older page accepts CCN, but the public page does not publish the format. |
| Recent arrest / last 24 hours | Current and older pages support recent booking review. |
| Basic booking information | Older page says basic booking information will display even when a photo is withheld. |
| Booking photo | Some photographs may not display because of Act 494. |
| Custody status | The current page covers current inmates but directs users to booking for the most current status. |
| LAVNS notification | The older page prompts users to register for custody status changes. |
Find County, State, and Federal Inmates
Vermilion Parish inmate records split across systems as a case moves. The sheriff roster covers current local jail custody at VPCC. Louisiana DPS&C handles people committed to state correctional custody. Federal sentences, federal custody status, and immigration detention are searched through separate national tools. A roster miss is common when the searcher is using the wrong custody system.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-trial or local sentence | VPSO Prisoner Search | Current VPCC inmates and recent arrests. |
| Sentenced state custody | LAVNS/VINELink or 225-383-4580 | Housing assignment, facility contact, and release-date information when available. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | People held in immigration custody. |
Louisiana DPS&C says LAVNS is updated every 24 hours and can search by location, name, and ID or case number. The phone locator requires either a DPS&C number or name and date of birth. If a person was recently sentenced, release-date information may lag while paperwork is processed.
Vermilion Parish Jail Facility
Official sources confirmed one local detention facility serving Vermilion Parish. VPSO uses Vermilion Parish Correctional Center for pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates, with male and female housing and several classification levels. DPS&C lists the same local jail under Vermilion Parish.
Vermilion Parish Correctional Center
14202 Allen Bares Jr. Dr.
Abbeville, LA 70510

Booking: (337) 898-4430
Booking Process in Vermilion Parish
A local public path usually begins with arrest by VPSO or another law-enforcement agency, transport to VPCC, booking, and entry into the jail system if the person remains in custody. VPSO does not publish a full intake checklist, so the public facts should stay tied to what the sheriff has confirmed: booking has a direct phone line, the roster covers current inmates and recent arrests, and the correctional center houses pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates.
The Corrections Division describes separate classification levels, medical staff, mental-health services, emergency medical response, written correspondence, telephone privileges, and several programs. A new arrest may take time to appear online. For a current booking status, use booking at (337) 898-4430 rather than assuming the web roster is final.
Request Vermilion Parish Booking Records
When the roster does not show enough information, VPSO Records is the public-records fallback. The Records Division page says requests are accepted in person, by email, or by U.S. mail. No online sheriff public-records form, required field list, fee schedule, ID requirement, or guaranteed processing time was located in the inspected pages.
| Request channel | Vermilion Parish detail |
|---|---|
| In person | Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office, 101 South State St., Abbeville, LA 70510 |
| records@vermilionsheriff.gov | |
| Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office, Attn: Records, PO Box 307, Abbeville, LA 70511-0309 | |
| Phone | (337) 898-4405 |

Records requests are most useful for past booking material, reports, or public records that are not shown on the live jail roster.
Vermilion Parish Jail Visitation Rules
VPSO publishes both on-site and online visitation windows for VPCC. The schedule is subject to change, and the sheriff's material tells visitors to contact the facility before visiting. Visitors must bring valid government photo ID, be on the approved visitation list, follow dress code, and accept search rules. Phones, cameras, electronic devices, outside food, and outside beverages are not allowed in visitation.
| Visit type | Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| On-site visitation | Tuesday, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. | Confirm with jail administration before travel. |
| Online visitation | Seven days a week, 6:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. | Schedule and rules may change. |
| Attorney or professional visits | Not published in located public pages | Call jail administration for instructions. |
Contact a Vermilion Parish Inmate
VPSO states that inmates have telephone and written correspondence privileges under facility policy. The inspected public pages did not publish a full mail format, banned-item list, postcard-only rule, scan-and-destroy rule, phone vendor, phone rate, tablet vendor, or attorney-mail policy. Use the jail address for basic routing and call jail administration before mailing anything that may be rejected.
Mail and phone caution: VPCC confirms mail and phone privileges, but detailed vendor rules were not located on the public VPSO pages.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
VPSO links its Make a Deposit option to CommissaryDeposit.com/Deposit. The captured vendor fields include State, Facility, Date, Inmate ID, Name, Gender, DOB, Amount, Fee, Total, and Phone Number. No fixed fee schedule was captured before selecting an inmate or deposit amount, so copy should not state a fee. Do not apply Louisiana DPS&C JPay rules to VPCC unless VPSO publishes them for the parish jail.
| Money channel | What the research confirmed |
|---|---|
| Online deposit | VPSO links to CommissaryDeposit.com/Deposit. |
| Fee field | The vendor page has a fee field, but no fixed fee schedule was captured. |
| Phone, kiosk, or mail deposits | Not published by VPSO in the inspected pages. |
| State prison deposits | DPS&C uses JPay for state prison money, but that is a different custody system. |
Note: Confirm the inmate is still at VPCC before sending money or scheduling a visit.
Vermilion Parish Sheriff App
VPSO has a mobile app named Vermilion Parish Sheriff LA. The Apple and Google Play listings describe crime reporting, tip submission, interactive features, and public safety news. The app-store text captured in research did not advertise an app-only inmate roster, warrant search, or records-request portal, so it should not be described as a replacement for the VPSO jail roster.
The app is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Emergency matters still belong with 911, as the store listing warns.
