LCS Caldwell Detention Center Releases
The official Louisiana DPS&C directory classifies LCS Caldwell Detention Center under Local Jails. It does not explain what the letters “LCS” mean, identify a present operator through that label, state a capacity, or publish a dedicated release protocol. Those facts should not be guessed. The supported description is a local detention center in Caldwell Parish whose own custody record is the primary source for a physical exit.
Common local outcomes include bond, recognizance, dismissal, a court-ordered release, time served, or completion of a sentence. Each can return a person to the community. A transfer has a different result. A person sent to DPS&C, another parish, BOP, USMS, or ICE has left LCS Caldwell Detention Center but may remain confined. The exit notation and destination determine which path applies. A court order explains the legal authority, while the detention record establishes when staff processed the physical handoff or release.
Verify LCS Caldwell Detention Center Releases
Begin with the exact jail, not a general Caldwell search. The nearby Caldwell Correctional Center has a similar name, a different address, and a different phone. Use the booking record to identify which facility last held the person. Then ask LCS Caldwell Detention Center whether the person remains physically present. If not, request the type of exit and destination that staff may disclose.
- Collect the full name, date of birth or known identifier, approximate booking date, and any booking number.
- Call LCS Caldwell Detention Center at 318-649-2100 and ask whether the person remains there.
- If the booking ended, ask whether it was a community release or transfer to another authority.
- Request the written custody or release record when a phone answer is limited or a durable record is needed.
- Read the 37th Judicial District Court minutes for bond, dismissal, time served, sentence, probation, revocation, or another order.
- Follow the destination to LAVNS, a receiving parish, BOP, ICE, or the federal docket when transfer is shown.
No official LCS Caldwell Detention Center 24-hour or 72-hour release feed was located. The legacy Caldwell LAVNS roster is a timestamped current-custody view, not an archive of released people. LAVNS event registration can help prospectively when the participating record offers it, but an alert does not replace the jail's release line. The Caldwell Parish released-inmate search explains the full county, state, court, and federal chain for a named person.
Note: Record the roster timestamp and the facility response date so later status changes can be placed in the right order.
LCS Caldwell Detention Center Release Records
A focused request should identify LCS Caldwell Detention Center by name and give enough detail to locate one custody episode. Include the full name, date of birth or other identifier, approximate booking date, and booking number if known. Ask for the booking record plus the custody or release record, not a vague complete inmate file. This helps the custodian find the exit event without confusing it with a similarly named facility.
| Requested item | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Booking identifiers | Match the request to the correct person and local custody period. |
| Release date and time | Show when LCS Caldwell Detention Center gave up physical custody, if recorded. |
| Release type or authority | Explain bond, court order, time served, dismissal, or sentence completion. |
| Destination or transfer | Separate a community exit from continued confinement elsewhere. |
| Hold or detainer | Identify another agency's role when that information is disclosable. |
| Booking photograph | Request the government image tied to the booking if it exists and may be released. |
Article 228 of the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure makes booking-information summaries open, though it does not guarantee every requested release field or photograph. Louisiana Public Records Law covers existing government records subject to stated exemptions. Ask for electronic delivery, a cost estimate, and a production-time estimate. Request a citation for each withheld item. The statutory five-day rule concerns a written determination or reasonable-time estimate, not guaranteed final production.

Direct calls are useful for immediate presence checks. Written responses are stronger for a past event. If the facility does not hold the requested record, ask which Caldwell Parish office does. Do not assume the main correctional-center line answers for LCS Caldwell Detention Center merely because both sites are on Highway 845 or share a listed fax.
LCS Caldwell Detention Center Court Releases
The Caldwell Parish Clerk of Court keeps the 37th Judicial District Court record. Its chronological criminal minutes can show bond set or satisfied, recognizance, dismissal, acquittal, plea, sentence, jail credit, time served, probation, revocation, or an amended order. Those entries explain the legal reason a jail stay changed. They do not prove the exact minute LCS Caldwell Detention Center processed the person out or rule out an unrelated hold.
The clerk publishes a $20 criminal-history name search by written request, copies at $2 per page, and certification at $10 plus copy fees. Ask whether an uncertified electronic copy will meet the need and request a cost estimate. The fee page is shown through the Caldwell Clerk's official fee source.
The published court route can preserve the disposition after a live jail roster changes, while the LCS custody record remains the source for physical-release time and destination.
- Court order
- Authorizes or explains a legal result, such as bond, dismissal, time served, or probation.
- Jail release record
- Documents the center's physical exit event and may identify the receiving authority.
- Receiving-agency record
- Confirms continued custody when the jail notation shows transfer rather than community release.
Note: Pair the dated court minute with the LCS release line because legal authorization can precede physical processing or another hold.
LCS Caldwell Detention Center Transfer Releases
A transfer record tells the reader where to continue. If the destination is DPS&C, search Louisiana LAVNS and use the automated locator at 225-383-4580. A facility assignment means continued confinement. A community-supervision assignment can support release from incarceration, though it does not mean the full sentence has ended. LAVNS is not proven to keep every fully discharged historical record, and its published update cycle means a recent change can lag.
When another parish is named, contact that jail. For a federal sentenced-person handoff, use the BOP locator and federal docket. “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody” only ends BOP custody and may still involve a detainer. ICE's locator is a current immigration-custody check. No match does not prove community release. USMS has no general released-person locator, so the federal docket and a suitable records request are the historical route.
A person can also remain visible after physical release. Probation or parole is community supervision, not jail. A court docket can retain the case disposition. Conversely, someone may vanish from the Caldwell roster while confined at a different site. Compare status dates and agency scope. Do not reduce “transferred,” “community supervision,” and “released from BOP custody” to the same phrase.
Two Caldwell Parish Release Facilities
The defining local caution is the two-facility layout. The state directory lists LCS Caldwell Detention Center at 701 Highway 845 and Caldwell Correctional Center at 671 Highway 845. Their telephone numbers differ, but both entries show fax 318-649-5652. That combination can produce wrong-facility calls, merged listings, and records requests sent to the wrong custodian. Always anchor the request to the booking record and street address.
The nearby Caldwell Correctional Center release route includes its Transitional Work Program role. That classification must not be copied onto LCS Caldwell Detention Center. Likewise, the unexplained “LCS” acronym is not evidence for a particular operator. Each facility keeps its own supported identity and release route.
How should two facility entries be reconciled? Put the dated booking and transfer records in sequence. Call only the facility tied to each period. If the final record says community release, obtain that exit line. If it names another agency, continue to the receiving system until the chain ends in community status or present custody.
