Louisiana Department of Corrections Inmate Search

Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections is one of the few states that does not offer an online inmate search system.

To located a prisoner, you will need to call 225-383-4580 to access the Louisiana Imprisoned Prison Locator System, which is available 24-hours a day.  You must have the inmate’s DPS&C number or the prisoner’s name and date of birth to access their information. The details that will be given to you include information about housing (including the address of the correction facility where the person is located), a contact number, and an expected release date (if available).

Information is also kept for people on parole or on probation who are under community supervision, but there is no information available for people who are pre-trial or serving municipal and parish sentences.

Louisiana Sex Offender Search

The Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections, in conjunction with the Louisiana State Police Public Safety Services provides a searchable public State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry site.

The initial search page you are taken to shows you an interactive map of Louisiana so you can search for sex offenders by a specific area in LA. To search statewide or using a name, choose the ‘Search for Offenders in your area” search option in the top left.

You will then be taken to a search page with several options, including a name search and other geography based searches.

You will receive sex offender results that match the information entered. Details include a small photo, given name (as results also include any associated aliases that match the information you entered), primary residential address, and sex offender tier (1-3 with 1 the most serious).

Clicking on a sex offender name or photo will take you to a details page, where you will see a larger photo, a detailed physical description, all known addresses and vehicles associated with the sex offender, any aliases used, and information about the qualifying sex crime committed.

Louisiana Most Wanted

The Louisiana DPS&C provides two categories of most wanted offenders. The first are fugitives who have escaped from a Louisiana jail or prison.

Clicking on a name takes you to a small profile with a basic physical description and a photo (if available).

The second most wanted search is for those with warrants, which is a list of names.
