The new Juvenile Justice Complex was opened in 2016, and it has 60 beds, with 40 being designated for male juveniles and 20 for female juveniles. It covers 25,000 square feet and the single room cells are organized in four units with eight cells in each unit. When there is space and open beds other regions may access those beds on a need basis and the income from that provides additional funds for the facility. During their detention juveniles will undergo an assessment that will help address strengths and weaknesses, necessary medical care, determine any additional educational support that may be needed to improve academic support, offer an overview of the needs of the student and may result in the request for a psychological test as well. Core academics are provided as well as GED programs, personal health and hygiene, mental health programs, anger management and conflict resolution, personal finance, religious services, gender sensitivity training, drug education, and social skills are all taught in the facility. Recreational activities occur regularly to assist in improving self-image, skill development, and providing a boost to both mental and physical health. Mail: All mail must be sent to the mailing address for the facility, where it will be processed and sent to the location for final delivery. Phones: Juveniles are permitted to call parents or guardians during their free hours with the phones located in each unit.

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Justice Complex, call the jail’s booking line at 985-853-1202.
There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.
Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.
If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.
Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Justice Complex Booking Roster
After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Terrebonne Parish for booking.
Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.
Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Terrebonne Parish and other Louisiana and USA jurisdictions.
If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.
It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.
The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.
During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.
Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.
At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.
If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Justice Complex will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.
Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.
Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.
If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
