IBERIA PARISH - The Iberia Parish Jail has cases of inmates testing positive for COVID, comparable to other correctional facilities across the state. This is the first time the Iberia Parish Jail has had an issue with inmates testing positive since the beginning of the pandemic in March of 2020. With the surge of COVID cases in Louisiana, several inmates have tested positive this week.

The Iberia Parish Jail has followed the recommendations put forth by the Louisiana Department of Corrections since the beginning of the pandemic. The Iberia Parish Jail is following all regulations, recommendations and implementing the quarantine protocols for those entering the facility, as well as, for those that have tested positive.

All Iberia Parish Jail inmates were tested today by the Louisiana National Guard, out of precaution and in an effort to be proactive in limiting the spread of the virus. Vaccines are available to all inmates upon their request.

The Iberia Parish Jail will continue to follow the guidelines and protocols set by the D.O.C., and the C.D.C.. The health, welfare and safety of the inmates in custody are the highest concern of the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office.
