When someone posts bond, finishes their time, or has charges dropped, they become a released inmate. Their booking record stays in the system and can be looked up even after they leave. The record will show the release date and the reason they were let go. Livingston Parish is one of the faster-growing parishes in Louisiana, so the jail processes a steady volume of bookings and releases each year.
