Locate a Loved One in LA Prison

Family and friends of people assigned to the custody of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections can locate the person by searching on the Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System (LAVNS). This site is updated every 24 hours and makes it easy to search by location, name, and ID/case number.

In addition to people in prison, it also includes information on people under probation or parole (community) supervision.

You can also call 225-383-4580 to be connected to the Imprisoned Person Locator. Callers must have the person in prison’s DPS&C number or the person in prison’s name and date of birth to access housing assignment, address of the facility where the person is located, a contact phone number and a projected release date (if applicable).
