Caddo Re-entry Custody Status
The Caddo Sheriff's Re-entry / Transitional Work Program Facility serves eligible people approaching release in a structured setting. CPSO sources trace the program to an opening in 2009, later use as the Northwest Regional Re-entry Facility, and renewed activity in 2026. Those descriptions show a local re-entry function near the Caddo Correctional Center complex. They do not turn placement into a completed release.
A participant may have approved movement for work or programming and still be under CPSO or Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections authority. That is custody with controlled access, not unrestricted community status. The most reliable proof is the final CPSO or DPS&C record that gives the actual discharge, parole release, good-time release, or another recognized release action. If the only record says the person moved from CCC into transitional work, the custody chain continues.
That distinction also changes where to look. A local parish sentence points first to CPSO's booking and movement records. A state sentence points to LAVNS, DPS&C time computation, the master prison record, and any state supervision assignment. Building location can help locate a person, but the legal custodian determines which record can certify the outcome.
Confirm Caddo Re-entry Release
Begin with enough identity data to avoid a false match: full name, aliases, date of birth, SO or DPS&C number, and the dates of the known CCC or re-entry episode. Then identify whether the person was held on a parish sentence or under state authority. The CPSO currently housed roster can show current parish physical custody and, for some listed people, earlier booking histories with exact release timestamps. Its absence is not proof of release.
Use the following custody-focused process:
- Check the CPSO entry for the correct person and episode. A prior release timestamp may belong to an old booking.
- Ask whether the movement into the program remained a CPSO placement or was under DPS&C authority.
- For state authority, search LAVNS by name and another identifier. A facility or program assignment still indicates custody.
- Read parole or probation status as community supervision, not as a full discharge from all state obligations.
- Request the final movement, discharge, or release record when public screens do not provide an actual outcome date and type.
- Check the court disposition when it supplies the sentence, release order, or legal basis for a change.
The Caddo Parish released-inmate search explains how CPSO, the court, LAVNS, and records requests fit together. On this facility's path, the controlling question is whether the agency recorded placement, transfer, supervised release, or full discharge. Each term marks a different status. A move within the Forum Drive complex is not, by itself, a release event.
Note: A LAVNS result may update on a daily cycle, so pair it with the agency's dated release or movement record.
Caddo Re-entry Release Records
A complete record should identify the participant, the authority responsible for custody, the program entry, and the final outcome. CPSO booking history can establish an earlier CCC booking and release time, but it may not explain whether that event was a move into transitional work. DPS&C may hold the computation and final state release documents for a state-sentenced participant. Request the record from the agency that created it rather than asking one custodian to certify another agency's action.
| Recorded event | How to interpret it | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| CCC movement to re-entry | Custody or program placement continues | CPSO movement record and program status |
| DPS&C facility assignment | State physical custody continues | LAVNS and DPS&C records |
| Parole release | Prison custody ends conditionally | Active supervision and actual release date |
| Probation assignment | Court-ordered community supervision applies | Court minutes and local supervision district |
| Full discharge | The identified custodial or supervision term ends | Check for any separate case, hold, or custodian |
The date needs the same care as the status. A projected date is an estimate based on the calculation then available. An actual release date records that the event occurred. A parole decision or court order may authorize release, but processing, another hold, or transfer can delay physical exit. For that reason, pair the legal authority with the custodian's final entry.
Verify the Caddo Re-entry Entrance
Official CPSO address references have changed over time. The current 2026 CPSO announcement gives 1125 Forum Drive. A 2023 CPSO account used 1121 Forum Drive. The 2009 opening account described the re-entry building as adjacent to CCC at the 1101 Forum Drive complex. All are official references, but they come from different moments in the program's history.
Use 1125 Forum Drive only as the latest published reference, then call before visiting. A current entrance, check-in point, or public access instruction was not separately verified in the research. Silently choosing an older street number could send a visitor to the wrong door within a large correctional complex. The phone check should ask for the present entrance and whether the office can receive the particular records or visit request.

Verify the current entrance before visiting
No direct facility telephone or public lobby schedule was established in the reviewed sources. The CPSO main contact is therefore the safe routing point, not a claim that it is a dedicated program line. Do not infer visitor access, pickup locations, release hours, or transportation arrangements from CCC practice.
Note: The address variants are documented history, not interchangeable directions; the latest entrance should be confirmed with CPSO before travel.
Caddo Re-entry State Releases
For a DPS&C participant, Louisiana's state route carries more weight than the parish roster alone. The DPS&C inmate-information page leads to LAVNS and the telephone locator. LAVNS covers imprisoned people and people on active probation or parole. A program or facility placement signals ongoing custody. A parole or probation entry signals a community-supervision status, which is different from imprisonment and different again from full discharge.
The telephone locator can return a projected release date when applicable. That field can change as sentencing papers, credits, forfeitures, detainers, or other lawful inputs change. It cannot establish that someone has walked out. Request the state master-record portions documenting the final release certificate, discharge date, facility movement, or supervision assignment when a dated official outcome is needed.
- Transitional work
- A structured custody placement that can permit controlled work activity before final release.
- Parole
- Conditional community supervision after imprisonment under terms set by the state parole authority.
- Projected release date
- An expected date based on the calculation and records then available, not proof of release.
- Full discharge
- The end of the identified sentence or supervision obligation, subject to any other legal hold.
Caddo and Bossier Parishes are served by the Shreveport Probation and Parole District. An active district assignment can corroborate a state parole release, but the district record does not replace the physical release timestamp. When possible, use both layers: the final custody entry and the active supervision result.
Request Caddo Re-entry Records
The request should name the exact record sought. For CPSO, ask for the CCC booking history, movement into the re-entry program, the program placement record available for public release, and the final movement or community-release entry. Include the full identity, SO number, known dates, and booking number. The CPSO records-request form supports online submission and links a PDF template.
For DPS&C, give the state number and ask for the relevant movement, computation, release certificate, actual discharge date, and supervision assignment. Protected case-management or program detail may not be public. A requester can seek segregable public portions and ask for the legal basis for any withholding. Louisiana's Public Records Law permits reasonable copy charges, but no special flat fee for a Caddo re-entry release record was published. Ask for an estimate and electronic copies.
Keep the question tied to existing documents. “Please provide the final release or transfer record for this identified custody episode” is clearer than asking an employee whether someone is free. If CPSO says DPS&C held the person, move the request to the state custodian. If the state record identifies a return to CCC, compare that state movement with the CPSO episode. Conflicts should be raised with the offices that created the entries.
Caddo Re-entry Program History
The local record shows that the site has changed roles and names. CPSO documented a re-entry opening in 2009, later described Northwest Regional Re-entry use, and announced renewed participant movement in 2026. That history explains why searches may return different facility wording or nearby Forum Drive numbers for the same general complex. Match the name and date in the record instead of forcing every episode under the newest label.
Program history is useful for navigation, not release proof. A news release can show that a program opened or reopened and that participants were moved there. It cannot show that a named person completed custody. Only the person-specific CPSO or DPS&C record establishes placement, transfer, parole release, or discharge. Court records may add the sentence or order that authorized a later step.
The site is distinct from a free-standing state prison, and no active Louisiana state prison was identified inside Caddo Parish. State-sentenced participants remain part of the statewide corrections system even while placed locally. That is why a local building and a state record can both be correct at once. The legal authority, event date, and status label are the pieces that reconcile them.
