Find East Feliciana Parish Released Inmates

East Feliciana Release Meaning

A person is released from East Feliciana Parish custody when a named authority ends its physical control. That event does not always mean the person walked free. East Feliciana Parish Prison holds parish pretrial detainees, people on probation or parole holds, and state offenders housed for Louisiana DPS&C. A roster departure may reflect bond, a judge's order, time served, sentence expiration, parole, good-time release, a hospital move, or transfer to another authority. The record must state which event occurred.

The live East Feliciana LA VINE roster describes who is in current custody. Once a record drops from that display, the sheriff's custody-event log becomes more useful than another roster search. Court minutes may explain why a release was authorized. LAVNS may show a state custody or supervision event. A receiving jail, DPS&C, ICE, or a federal agency may hold the next record. These systems should be read together, not treated as copies of the same source.

Release

The end of one agency's physical custody, whether to the community, supervision, or another legal status.

Transfer

A move to another jail, prison, hospital, federal agency, or immigration authority, not a community release.

Parole

Release from prison while the sentence continues under Louisiana DPS&C supervision.

Probation

A court-ordered community status that may replace or follow a suspended custody term.

Discharge

The end of the relevant sentence or supervision authority, subject to any other case or legal duty.

East Feliciana Release Types

The release label sets the next verification step. A bond release leaves the criminal case pending unless the court later disposes of it. Time served links the jail event to the sentence and custody credit. A parole decision can authorize a later release, but it does not prove that facility processing finished on the decision date. Transfers require the name of the receiving agency. East Feliciana release records are strongest when they pair the physical custody event with the legal document behind it.

Does a dismissal prove the exact release time? No. The court record can show the disposition, while the jail record shows when processing ended and whether another hold changed the outcome.

Note: Escape and death end custody in a different legal sense and should never be described as ordinary East Feliciana releases.

East Feliciana Release Record Fields

A complete East Feliciana Parish release record should connect identity, booking, the custody-ending event, legal authority, and destination. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 228 makes the booking book and booking summaries open for public inspection. Its required material includes the person's name and address, property taken, booking date and time, charges, arresting person, a short event account, and named co-arrestees. Article 228 does not promise an online archive, release reason, or booking photo.

The request must name the extra release fields. This matters in East Feliciana because the public roster is only a current display. No official online retention period or released-person archive was verified. Asking for a booking number and exact custody event also reduces same-name mistakes.

Request East Feliciana Release Records

The East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office requires public-record requests by certified letter. Address the envelope to Public Records Request, P.O. Box 207, Clinton, LA 70722. The administrative office is at 11315 Bank Street, and its civil and administration phone is (225) 683-8572. The sheriff has not published a set release-record fee, booking-photo fee, or promised response time. Louisiana R.S. 44:32 allows adult inspection during regular hours and reasonable posted copy or transmission charges.

1. Identify the person by full name, known aliases, date of birth if known, and an approximate booking date.
2. Ask for the article 228 booking entry, booking number, custody-event log, and release or transfer timestamp.
3. Name the release authority, reason, bond fields, property disposition, and receiving agency as requested fields.
4. Request existing electronic copies when available and ask for an advance fee estimate before copies are made.
5. Keep the letter and certified-mail receipt. If clarification is needed, narrow the date range and record types.

Ask the sheriff to mark transfer as transfer and state the destination. A broad request for “released inmates” may not define the record well enough. For a list, set a precise Central Time interval and request community releases and transfers in separate fields. The office need not create analysis that it does not already maintain.

The sheriff's official contact page shows the certified-letter instructions used for this process.

The captured source confirms that a durable East Feliciana release inquiry uses the sheriff's records route, even when the live roster is unavailable.

East Feliciana Property-Bond Release

East Feliciana has a detailed property-bond path that shows why bond and case disposition are distinct. The property owner first obtains an assessment certificate. A mortgage certificate then comes from the Clerk, with a published starting amount of $20 for one name and one property. The documents go to the sheriff for bond preparation and required signatures. After the Clerk records the bond, a certified recorded appearance bond is delivered to the jail so the person can be released under bond.

The criminal case does not end at that point. Charges remain pending unless a later court record says otherwise. When the case is complete, the owner separately asks to cancel the bond. For release research, the bond instrument explains the legal basis, the court minute tracks the case event, and the jail custody record supplies the physical departure time.

The Clerk's appearance-bond procedure provides the official local sequence.

This source makes the final handoff to the jail visible and keeps a bond release from being mistaken for a finding of innocence.

Note: A signed bond can authorize release, but the jail must still complete processing and check for any other active hold.

East Feliciana Court Release Evidence

The East Feliciana Clerk of Court keeps criminal filings and daily minutes for the 20th Judicial District. A minute is the court's short official account of what happened. It may show bond, recognizance, dismissal, a plea, sentencing, credit for time served, probation, revocation, an amended commitment, or discharge. These records can remain useful after a current jail entry disappears.

Public court files may be inspected at no charge during the Clerk's posted weekday hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at 12305 St. Helena Street in Clinton. Subscription access is available through eClerksLA. The Clerk lists regular copies at $1 per page, certified copies at $5, a criminal record check at $10 per name, and a minute extract at $15. A requester should confirm which costs apply to one order. Juvenile and sealed records require a petition and are not open through the ordinary route.

The Clerk's criminal court page identifies the daily-minute function used to trace release authority.

The court source answers why release was ordered. The sheriff's event record still answers when East Feliciana custody actually ended.

East Feliciana Expunged Release Records

Expungement removes a Louisiana record from public access. It does not destroy the record. Code of Criminal Procedure article 971 keeps it confidential while allowing access by criminal-justice agencies and other parties authorized by law. A once-visible East Feliciana booking or court result may therefore vanish after expungement. That absence is not proof that the custody event never occurred, and old cached material should not be used to evade the restriction.

The East Feliciana Clerk lists the local expungement package as four postal money orders totaling $550: $200 to the Clerk, $250 to Louisiana State Police, $50 to the District Attorney, and $50 to the Sheriff. Statutory exemptions and indigency rules may apply. Eligibility depends on the charge, disposition, conviction history, waiting period, and current law. The fee list is practical routing information, not a decision on eligibility.

Public-record limits can also cover juvenile, medical, security, victim, active-investigation, or sealed material. A focused request should seek the segregable public portions and ask the custodian to state the legal basis for any withholding. No official release-record retention schedule was found for the parish.

Find East Feliciana Released Inmates

A reliable East Feliciana Parish released inmate search begins with the last known custodian. The parish roster can answer only whether a person is presently listed. The sheriff can distinguish release from transfer. Court minutes can supply the bond, order, sentence, or other authority. State records apply to a DPS&C offender or transitional work participant, while federal and immigration systems apply only when those agencies are part of the custody chain.

1. Search the live roster for current custody, saving the spelling used and the time of the check.
2. If the person is absent, call East Feliciana Parish Prison at (225) 683-3313 and ask whether release or transfer occurred.
3. Inspect the 20th JDC file for the latest bond, order, sentence, credit, dismissal, probation, or discharge entry.
4. For a state offender or TWP participant, search Louisiana LAVNS and verify the listed agency and status.
5. Check supervision, BOP, USMS, or ICE only when the person's record points to that system.
6. Mail the certified records request for the custody event, timestamp, reason, authority, and destination.

No official East Feliciana 24-hour or 72-hour recent-release feed was found. A precise same-day interval must be requested from the sheriff without turning roster changes into unsupported release claims.

Note: Save the source agency, displayed event words, and check time so later updates do not erase the basis for a conclusion.

East Feliciana LAVNS Release Search

Louisiana DPS&C routes public person searches through LAVNS, delivered by VINELink. There is no separately verified Louisiana DOC archive that promises every fully discharged former inmate. Search by the exact name and use an ID, case number, location, or other filters that the live form offers. Confirm the agency, age or birth information, and custody details before choosing a same-name result.

A displayed record may contain custody status, agency, location, an offender identifier, event information, supervision data, or a projected date. Fields vary by the contributing agency. Because no lawful released East Feliciana result was captured during research, no single web field set should be promised. “Released” also differs from “discharged.” Parole and good-time release end prison custody but may leave the person under supervision. Full discharge ends that authority.

The Louisiana LAVNS person search is the official web starting point.

The search interface is a locator and alert entry point. A no-result screen still requires court, facility, and records-request follow-up.

East Feliciana Release Roster Limits

The Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement describes parish LA VINE rosters as live jail-management-system displays refreshed every 30 minutes. That cadence applies to the roster layer, not to a released-person archive. East Feliciana's official source did not verify release dates, release reasons, bond details, a booking image, booking numbers, prior custody, or a recent-release tab in the public view.

The East Feliciana endpoint was inaccessible during the July 20, 2026 research check. The legacy host returned TLS and gateway errors, while the listed replacement did not resolve in a terminal test. This is a dated outage observation. It does not prove that the feed is permanently closed, nor does it say anything about one person's custody. The prison phone and certified record request remain the correct fallback.

A recent-release list cannot be rebuilt by comparing two roster snapshots. A name can disappear after transfer, data correction, duplicate consolidation, a feed failure, court custody, medical movement, or an ICE handoff. The sheriff's custody-ending event and the receiving agency are needed before the event is labeled.

East Feliciana TWP Release Path

The East Feliciana Parish Transitional Work Program shares the parish prison address but has a separate DPS&C directory listing and telephone number. The sheriff says its participants are state offenders approved by DPS&C. Other programs named at the parish prison include Hi-SET, discipleship training, re-entry programming, and a trustee program. These facts make the TWP a state-centered release path, not a second local jail.

A participant who leaves may enter the community, begin or continue supervision, return to secure DPS&C placement, or transfer elsewhere. Check LAVNS and DPS&C records for sentence status. Contact the TWP at (225) 683-5459 for the actual departure or transfer, and use Feliciana Probation and Parole when the record points to active supervision. A parole decision may authorize release, but the custody record confirms whether it occurred.

The official parish prison page describes the prison's mixed role and TWP context.

The source supports treating a TWP departure as a distinct state custody event, not as proof of full discharge.

East Feliciana Mixed-Custody Releases

The sheriff reports an approximate 242-person capacity at East Feliciana Parish Prison and a population that mixes parish pretrial detainees, probation and parole holds, and state DPS&C offenders. That mix explains why a single “inmate” label can mislead. One person may wait for a parish case, another may be held on a supervision matter, and a third may serve a state sentence locally. The correct release record depends on which authority controlled the confinement.

For a parish detainee, use the sheriff's event record and 20th JDC minutes. A supervision hold requires the official supervision and court or board record. A state offender needs LAVNS and DPS&C documentation, even if the physical bed was in Clinton. Dixon Correctional Institute and Louisiana State Penitentiary fall within the wider Feliciana supervision district but sit in West Feliciana Parish. They are not East Feliciana Parish facilities.

Why can one roster disappearance lead to several searches? East Feliciana's jail and state roles overlap at one site. The last legal custodian, not the building name alone, determines where the next status appears.

East Feliciana Federal Release Paths

Federal and immigration searches are conditional paths. No federal prison or ICE detention center was verified inside East Feliciana Parish. A federal defendant may still have been housed under a U.S. Marshals arrangement, and a local detainee may be transferred under an ICE detainer. Those events arise from the case and custodian, not from a local federal facility.

The BOP Inmate Locator covers federal inmates from 1982 forward. It accepts a BOP register number, DCDC, FBI, or INS number, or a name with optional filters. Results can show a release date and “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody.” That wording ends BOP custody only. Supervised release, another sovereign's custody, or immigration custody may follow.

Federal pretrial defendants may never appear in BOP results. Use the Middle District of Louisiana docket and the detention facility, with USMS as the federal custodian when applicable. For immigration custody, ICE's locator accepts a nine-digit A-number and country of birth or an exact name and country of birth. ICE says a detainer can hold someone up to 48 hours beyond the time they otherwise would be released so ICE can assume custody. Thus an East Feliciana “release” may be a direct ICE transfer.

Note: A federal court order authorizes release but does not establish the door-out time or rule out a state or immigration hold.

East Feliciana Release Facilities

Only two correctional entries were verified in the parish, and they share one address. The distinction is operational. East Feliciana Parish Prison handles a mixed parish and state population. The Transitional Work Program serves DPS&C-approved state offenders nearing a possible transition. No separate municipal holding roster or detention facility was confirmed in Clinton, Jackson, Slaughter, Norwood, or Wilson.

Both are located at 12306 Haynes Street, Clinton, Louisiana 70722. The prison line is (225) 683-3313, while the TWP uses (225) 683-5459. Call before travel because no official release desk hours, exit point, pickup area, routine release time, weekend procedure, transport plan, or property-return process was verified.
