Find Terrytown Jail Roster
The Terrytown jail roster falls under the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office because Terrytown has no city government or police department of its own.

You can search the jail roster online for free using the JPSO inmate search tool or the VINE system. This page explains how to look up inmates from Terrytown and where to go for help.
Terrytown Quick Facts
Where Terrytown Arrests Are Held
"Terrytown is a 'Census Designated Place.' No separate municipal police department." That is the key fact about law enforcement here. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office patrols Terrytown and handles all arrests. There is no city jail, no city police, and no local lockup. Everything goes through the parish system.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office inmate search tool shows all inmates held at the correctional center, including those arrested in Terrytown.
Search results display the inmate's charges, bond information, and the date of booking into the facility.
To search for someone from Terrytown, enter their last name first. Add a first name to narrow results. The inmate search covers the whole parish, so you will see results from Kenner, Metairie, Marrero, and other areas along with Terrytown bookings. If the person bonded out or was released, they will no longer show up on the roster. Only current inmates appear.
You can also search by booking number if you have one. This is the quickest way to pull up a specific record. Booking numbers are given at the time of intake and appear on paperwork the inmate receives.
Note: The JPSO inmate search updates throughout the day but may lag a couple hours behind the most recent bookings.
Terrytown Jail Roster on VINE
The statewide VINE Link system offers another way to search for Terrytown inmates. Search under Jefferson Parish. VINE covers all 64 parishes in Louisiana and pulls from the same jail data the parish uses. It is free and you do not need an account to search.
VINE was created under LSA-R.S. 15:1229 so crime victims could keep track of the person who harmed them. But the search tool is open to everyone. You can also sign up for alerts. When you register, you get a call, text, or email when an inmate's status changes. That covers releases, transfers, and court appearances. The LAVNS phone line at 1-866-528-6748 is available around the clock for people who prefer to call.
Terrytown Arrest Records and Public Access
Under Louisiana's Public Records Law (LSA-R.S. 44:1), jail roster data is public. Anyone can search for people booked at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center, including those arrested in Terrytown. You do not need to be a family member or have a legal reason. The booking record shows the person's name, age, charges, and when they were booked.
There are some limits to what you can access. LSA-R.S. 15:574.12 keeps certain offender records confidential. Pre-sentence investigation reports, parole records, and data gathered by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections are sealed from public view. But the law carves out exceptions. The offender's age, offense, date of conviction, length of sentence, and any misconduct while incarcerated are all public. So the Terrytown jail roster, which shows current booking data, remains fully open.
Louisiana also has LSA-R.S. 14:405, enacted in 2011, which prohibits inmates from creating social media accounts while in jail or prison. This does not affect how you search the jail roster, but it is part of the broader legal framework around incarceration in the state. If you find someone on the Terrytown jail roster and see a social media account in their name, it should not be them posting while in custody.
Bonding Out After a Terrytown Arrest
To get someone out of the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center after a Terrytown arrest, you need to know the bond amount. Check this on the JPSO inmate search or call the jail at 504-368-5360. Once you have the amount, you can pay at the facility in Gretna or hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen typically charge a percentage of the total bond as their fee.
Some charges do not have a bond set right away. Serious offenses often require a judge to set the amount at a hearing. In those cases, the person stays in custody until the court acts. The bond amount, when set, shows up on the inmate search tool. This lets you plan ahead before heading to the jail to pay.
Note: Bond amounts can change if new charges are added or if a judge modifies the original amount at a later hearing.
