Caddo Parish Recent Bookings

Caddo Parish recent bookings are available through the LA VINE system, which pulls data directly from the Caddo Correctional Center jail management system. The roster updates every 30 minutes and shows who has been booked into the facility, what charges they face, their bond amount, and current housing location. Searching is free. You can access the live roster any time of day or night without going to the courthouse or making a phone call. This page explains how the system works and what information you can find.

Caddo Parish Jail Roster and Booking Records

The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office operates the Caddo Parish LA VINE roster, which is the primary public source for recent bookings in the parish. Every time someone is processed into the Caddo Correctional Center, their information flows into this system within about 30 minutes. The roster is not a weekly summary or a batch upload. It reflects what is happening at the jail in near real time.

Each booking record on the roster includes the person's full name, date of birth, race, gender, booking date and time, charges, bond information, current housing location inside the facility, and release date if they have already been released. Mugshot photos are included on most records. This level of detail makes the Caddo roster one of the more complete parish jail rosters in northwest Louisiana.

Under Louisiana law, arrest and booking records are public. R.S. 15:587 specifically covers the disclosure of arrest and booking information and makes clear that these records are accessible to the public. The Caddo Sheriff's Office makes the roster available online in keeping with that law. You do not need to provide a reason to search, and there is no fee to view the roster.

Note: The roster reflects current custody status. It does not show the outcome of criminal cases or whether charges were later dropped.

The Caddo Parish LA VINE roster at caddo.lavns.org/roster.aspx is the most direct way to check who is currently booked at the Caddo Correctional Center. The page loads quickly and allows you to browse or search by name.

Caddo Correctional Center Facility Details

The Caddo Correctional Center is the main jail facility serving Caddo Parish. It sits at 1101 Christian Street in Shreveport and holds around 1,200 inmates. The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office runs the facility and handles all bookings for the parish. The Sheriff's main office is at 501 Texas Street, Shreveport, LA 71101.

If you need to reach someone at the facility or get information over the phone, you can call the Caddo Correctional Center directly at (318) 677-5254. For other Sheriff's Office matters, the main line is (318) 675-2170. The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office website has additional information about the facility, visiting rules, and inmate services.

In-person visits to the jail require following the facility's current visitation schedule and rules. Rules can change, so check with the jail before traveling. Phone calls to inmates go through the facility's inmate phone system, which is managed separately from the public records roster.

LA VINE Notifications for Caddo Parish Inmates

LA VINE is Louisiana's Victim Information and Notification Everyday program. It is run by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement (LCLE). The system lets anyone sign up to receive automatic alerts when a specific inmate's custody status changes. That means if someone is released, transferred, or escapes, the registered person gets a call, text, or email right away.

Registration is free and anonymous. You do not have to be a crime victim to sign up. Anyone can register. When you view an inmate on the Caddo roster, the page notes: "Click to register anonymously to be notified upon any changes in this offender's custody status." That link takes you directly to the notification sign-up form.

You can also register by phone. The LA VINE hotline is 866-LAVNS-4-U, which is 866-528-6748. That line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and there is no charge for the call or the service. The phone system walks you through registering for an inmate by name or booking number.

For inmates held in state correctional facilities rather than the parish jail, the VINELink national database covers offenders in 48 states and also provides free notification services. State-sentenced offenders in Louisiana are tracked through the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections offender search, which is separate from the parish jail roster.

Note: LA VINE notifications cover custody changes only. The system does not alert you to court dates or case outcomes.

Louisiana Public Records Law and Caddo Booking Data

Caddo Parish booking records are public documents under Louisiana's Public Records Law. R.S. 44:1 defines what counts as a public record in Louisiana, and R.S. 44:31 establishes that any person has the right to inspect or copy public records. Arrest and booking information falls squarely within that definition. The Caddo Sheriff's Office publishes the roster online as a way of meeting this legal obligation.

If you want a physical copy of a booking record rather than just viewing it online, you can request one from the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office. Under R.S. 44:32, copy fees run from $0.25 to $1.00 per page for standard reproductions. Certified copies may cost more. The Sheriff's Office can tell you the exact fee schedule when you make your request.

Some records are restricted. Juvenile records are not public, and certain law enforcement investigation files may be withheld while a case is open. But standard booking records for adults held at the Caddo Correctional Center are public and available as described in R.S. 15:587.

What Caddo Parish Booking Records Show

A typical Caddo Parish booking record includes more detail than many parish rosters. Here is what you can expect to find on most records:

• Full legal name and date of birth
• Race and gender
• Booking date and exact time
• Charges listed by statute
• Bond amount for each charge
• Current housing location within the facility
• Mugshot photo
• Release date if the person has been released

This data comes from the jail management system and is updated automatically. The Sheriff's staff does not manually enter each record into the public roster. The system pulls from the same database used internally to track inmates. That is why the roster updates as often as it does and why the data tends to be accurate.

Bond amounts on the roster reflect what was set at booking or by a judge. They do not tell you whether a bond has been posted. A person can still be listed on the roster after bond is posted if they have not yet been processed out. Check the release date field for the most current custody status.

Cities in Caddo Parish

Innocence Notice

All persons shown on the Caddo Parish booking roster are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. A booking record shows that someone was arrested and processed into the facility. It does not indicate that a person has been convicted of any offense. Charges may be reduced, changed, or dismissed entirely before or during court proceedings.
