Finding Someone in Custody in Terrebonne Parish
The parish jail, run by the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Terrebonne Parish, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office at tpso.net/inmateservices (page title: Inmate Services | Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office | Gray), phone 866-232-1899, MON-FRI FROM 1PM-3PM, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 30, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 866-232-1899.
