No Caddo 24-Hour Release Feed
The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office does not provide a verified public feed for releases during the past day. Its official Currently Housed Inmates roster is a live-custody tool. The page has no release-period selector and no separate URL for a rolling 24-hour window. It would be inaccurate to sort its booked-date column and call the result a release list. Booked time marks the start of an episode, not the end.
A same-day list must instead come from the record custodian. The useful request is a report of people whose actual release timestamps fall between two stated endpoints. Give the date, starting time, ending time, and Central Time because Caddo Parish official operations use the America/Chicago time zone. Also say whether the interval should roll backward from the moment of the request or cover a calendar day. That distinction can change which events qualify.
Request Caddo Same-Day Releases
CPSO offers an online public-records request form and a linked PDF request template. The online form collects requester contact information, offers a custodian category such as Criminal Records, and provides space to describe the record. A narrow request is easier to identify than a broad demand for all inmate data. State that the request concerns actual releases from Caddo Correctional Center within a fixed 24-hour interval.
- Write the exact start and end timestamps, including Central Time, and state whether the range is rolling or calendar based.
- Select the closest records category and identify Caddo Correctional Center as the facility when that is the intended source.
- Ask for the booking number, booking date and time, actual release date and time, release disposition, and destination or receiving agency if recorded.
- Submit the form, retain the confirmation, and ask for clarification when a response uses a transfer code or omits the outcome.
For one known person, include the full legal name, aliases, date of birth, SO number if known, booking number, and approximate booking period. That focused approach serves a different need from a complete same-day list. The full named-person path is covered on the Caddo Parish released inmate search.
Note: Requested fields describe the desired record; they do not guarantee that every item is held, public, or responsive in each case.
Caddo 24-Hour Release Fields
Caddo Parish has no published 24-hour table to inventory. The fields below separate what CPSO visibly shows from what a requester should seek. This distinction matters. The current roster displays identity and custody details, while the expandable booking history can show exact times from older episodes. The basic history does not publish a release reason.
| Field | What Caddo's source establishes |
|---|---|
| Name, age, sex | Visible on the current-housed roster; use other identifiers to avoid a namesake error. |
| Booked date | Visible in the roster, but it is not a release date. |
| Booking number | Shown in an accessible booking-history entry and useful in a focused request. |
| Booking date and time | Marks when that custody episode began. |
| Release date and time | A past history entry may show an exact timestamp; a current episode can read “*In Jail*.” |
| Release reason or destination | Not shown in the basic history. Request the disposition or receiving agency instead of inferring it. |
A release disposition gives meaning to the timestamp. Bond means a person left pretrial detention under the pending case and bond terms. Time served usually means custody credit satisfied the sentence. Parole begins conditional community supervision. A transfer means custody continued somewhere else. Each outcome differs, so a time alone should not be stretched into a claim that the person returned to the community.
Caddo Release History Is Partial
Caddo Parish has an unusual source design. A person who appears on the current roster may have an expandable history with older booking episodes. Those past rows can carry a Booking Number, Booking Date/Time, and exact Release Date/Time. This offers limited historical proof inside a current-custody interface. It is useful when the same person has returned to custody, but it is not a browseable archive of everyone released today.
The design also creates a trap. A user may see an old release time and overlook the current “*In Jail*” entry. Read each booking episode separately and match its booking number. CPSO has not published a precise refresh interval or a rule for how long release details remain online. Sample old entries show that some history persists, but that observation cannot support a general retention promise. A custodian response remains the sound route for a complete 24-hour window.
The official roster screenshot shows the missing release-window control. Review the CPSO current-inmate interface before treating any filter as a discharge filter.
The screen supports a current-custody check and limited person-specific history, not a countywide list of releases from the last day.
Caddo App Release Limits
CPSO maintains a free progressive web app for iOS, Android, and Windows. The official Caddo Parish Sheriff app page previews an inmate screen, and the agency's older feature announcement describes viewing people currently in jail and checking outstanding warrants. Those are helpful mobile functions. Neither official source verifies a module for people released in the last 24 hours.
The app should therefore be used to check present custody or view available current-inmate details. A warrant result means the agency lists a person as wanted; it does not show that the person is now confined or was released today. Likewise, a current-inmate result defeats a same-day release claim for that displayed custody episode. If the app does not show a name, return to the records request, court, or receiving-agency path.
Note: The CPSO mobile channel adds convenience, not a separate release archive or a different published retention period.
Verify Caddo Parish Release Status
Use the source tied to legal custody. A local pretrial detainee at Caddo Correctional Center is best checked through CPSO booking history, a custodian response, and the First Judicial District Court record. Court minutes may explain bond, dismissal, time served, or a release order, while the jail entry establishes when the order was carried out. A bond amount alone does not show that bond was posted and cleared.
If a person entered Louisiana state custody or active parole or probation, search LAVNS through the DPS&C inmate-information route. A facility assignment means physical custody continues. An active supervision result supports a community status, but it may not give the exact jail exit time. VINELink can send a release or custody-change alert, yet the alert should prompt confirmation with CPSO or DPS&C. For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator rather than a parish or state system.
Shreveport City Jail needs its own check when city police made the initial arrest. Its daily reports document bookings, not releases. Someone may move from the city operation to Caddo Correctional Center, so disappearance from a city report is not a same-day community discharge. Search the CPSO current roster, then ask the city or parish agency which custodian received the person. Juvenile cases also follow a separate, confidential process and should not be folded into an adult 24-hour request.
- Release
- An authorized end to the physical custody held by that agency.
- Transfer
- Movement to another custodian; it is not release to the community.
- Disposition
- The recorded outcome or reason tied to the end of the custody episode.
- Supervision
- Parole or probation status in the community after physical confinement has ended.
Expand the Caddo Release Window
A 24-hour request can miss an event when the chosen endpoints differ from CPSO's stored timestamp or when a user meant a full prior calendar day. The remedy is not to relabel the roster. Extend the exact period and keep the time zone clear. The Caddo Parish releases from the last 72 hours page explains a wider three-day request for weekend and multi-day review.
Keep the conclusion narrow until the record arrives. “Not found on the current roster at the stated query time” is accurate. “Released today” requires an actual release entry or custodian confirmation. When a destination names DPS&C, another parish, a hospital, or another custodian, continue the search there. That method preserves the key difference between leaving one Caddo Parish list and leaving physical custody.
