How to Search Caddo Released Inmates

Caddo Parish gives you more than one way to search for released inmates online. The sheriff has an inmate search page on their site. This tool lets you look up people by name. You can see booking dates, charges, age, and sex. Mugshots may also show up. The search is free to use, and you don't need to make an account. Keep in mind this tool shows people who are currently in jail and, in some cases, those who have been released.

Each record you find on the Caddo roster will show key fields. These include the person's last name, first name, and middle name. You can also see the booking date and the charges against them. Age and sex are listed too. If the person has been released, the record may note that fact. Under R.S. 15:574.12, some inmate records held by the state are kept private. But the sheriff's booking data is more open. The law allows the public to see basic facts like age, offense, date of conviction, and length of sentence.

Note: Online rosters may not show every released inmate, so call the jail at (318) 677-5254 for the most current info.

Released Inmates on Caddo VINE Roster

The Caddo Parish VINE roster is another way to look up released inmates. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. The system tracks who is in jail and who has been let go. It updates often. For Caddo Parish jails, data refreshes about every 15 minutes. That means you get near real-time info on custody changes. The VINE roster is run through the Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System, or LAVNS.

Below is a view of the Caddo VINE roster page where you can search for inmates and check release status.

From this page you can search by name, ID number, or case number. You can also sign up to get alerts when a person is released or moved. The statewide VINE system can be reached at VINELink or by calling 1-866-528-6748. This is a free tool. It covers all parish jails and state prisons in Louisiana.

VINE does not always show charge details for every facility. If you need charge info for a Caddo Parish released inmate, call the Caddo Correctional Center directly. The system also does not track warrants. It only shows people who have been booked and their current status.

Caddo Parish and State Inmate Records

The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections is the state agency that handles prison records. If someone from Caddo Parish was sent to a state prison, their records fall under DPS&C.

If you want more detail, you may need to file a public records request under R.S. 44:1, the Louisiana Public Records Act. Send your request to the DPS&C at P.O.

Tips for Finding Released Inmates in Caddo

Finding a released inmate in Caddo Parish is faster if you have the right info. Start with the full name of the person you want to find. A date of birth helps narrow results. If you have a booking number or DPS&C ID, use that. These tools work best with exact names. Misspelled names may give you no results at all.

Try more than one search tool. The sheriff's website and the VINE roster may show different data. One might have a record the other does not. If neither tool gives you what you need, call the jail. The Caddo Correctional Center staff can check their system for you. They are available by phone at (318) 677-5254. You can also try the DPS&C public records page for state-level requests.

• Use the person's full legal name for best results
• Check both the sheriff's site and VINE
• Call (318) 677-5254 if online tools come up short
• Have a date of birth or booking number ready
• State prison records need a separate search through DPS&C
