No Official 24-Hour Release Feed
The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office does not publish an official 24-hour, 48-hour, or 72-hour released-person feed. Its online detention sources answer different questions. The Jail Bookings chronology records bookings during the current year. The separate West Feliciana LAVNS roster displays people currently shown as incarcerated. Neither source has a released filter, release date, release type, or receiving-agency field.
Today’s bookings must never be relabeled as today’s releases. A booking starts a custody episode; it does not disclose how or when that episode ended. Likewise, removal from the current roster can result from community release, transfer, a data correction, or a reporting delay. The missing event is confirmed by West Feliciana Parish Detention Center or its booking and release record.
Check West Feliciana Releases Today
For a true same-day window, first define the start and end times. “Last 24 hours” is a rolling period, while “today” can mean midnight through the time of the request. West Feliciana Parish Detention Center can clarify whether a reported time is the physical exit time or a later database entry. Give enough detail to separate people with similar names and separate one booking from another.
- Check the sheriff’s booking chronology for the approximate booking date, name, age, location, and charge text. Treat those facts only as booking leads.
- Check the current LAVNS roster to see whether the person is displayed in parish custody now. Note the roster’s visible update time.
- Call the Detention Center at 225-784-3158 with the full name, booking date, and exact 24-hour interval. Ask whether the booking ended in release or transfer.
- Request the release event record when written proof is needed. Ask for release date and time, release type, releasing authority, and destination or receiving agency.
- Use the 20th Judicial District Court minute to explain bond, dismissal, time served, sentence, or other legal authority. Then check the receiving system if the answer was transfer.
The full named-person search across parish, state, federal, and immigration systems is available from the West Feliciana Parish released inmate search. That wider path is useful when the custodian is uncertain, but the Detention Center remains the primary source for a parish booking’s physical exit.
Note: Keep the exact time range with every request because a calendar-day answer and a rolling 24-hour answer may differ.
West Feliciana Release Record Fields
No public West Feliciana Parish 24-hour release table supplies the fields below. They are the fields to request from the custodian for a same-day release check. A precise request is more useful than asking for an undefined “inmate record,” especially when the same person has more than one booking.
| Requested field | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Name and booking number | Connects the event to one person and one custody episode. |
| Admission date and time | Identifies when the booking began. |
| Release date and time | Identifies when parish custody ended, if the recorded time is the physical event. |
| Release type or reason | Distinguishes bond, time served, court order, sentence completion, or transfer. |
| Releasing authority | Points to the court, sheriff, or other authority behind the movement. |
| Destination or receiving agency | Shows whether the person entered the community or remained in another system’s custody. |
| Bond disposition | Links a bond release to the related court and sheriff process. |
A useful request asks for the booking and release records for a named person, identifies the approximate booking date, and lists these fields. WFPSO accepts public-record requests in person, by mail, email, or fax. Its information line is 225-635-3241, and records requests may be sent to records@wfpso.org. Ask the office to quote the current fee and available delivery format before production.
When the person has more than one booking, identify each episode separately. A broad request for all “inmate information” can blur admission, release, and transfer events or produce an avoidable search estimate. If only a date range is known, keep it narrow and ask for existing electronic records in their current form. The agency is not required to create a new report or answer a research question. A well-scoped request asks for the records that already document the custody change.
Two West Feliciana Custody Datasets
West Feliciana Parish has a notable data split. The booking chronology and current roster are not two views of one release database. The chronology can keep a booking visible after custody ends, yet it lacks the event that ended custody. The LAVNS roster is a present-custody display with a last-updated timestamp, but it has no verified historical release window.
During the research check, the newest manual booking entry and the roster timestamp differed by nine days. That is one observation, not a promised update schedule. It cannot be used to date a release or predict the next update. The sheriff has not published the chronology’s cadence or the roster’s historical retention period.
The official booking page shows the fields and directs readers to the current roster.
The captured page demonstrates a text booking chronology, not a release feed. Pair it with a direct jail response and event record before describing any person as released.
West Feliciana Bond Release Chain
Bond is one locally documented path out of detention, but it does not end the criminal case. Judges of the 20th Judicial District Court set bond. WFPSO states that it accepts cash, commercial surety, and qualifying residential-property bonds. The sheriff lists a $30 bond fee, subject to confirmation with the office for the specific transaction.
Property bonds use a detailed local chain. Assessed property value is reviewed, the Clerk supplies a mortgage certificate, the documents are signed and recorded, and the certified recorded bond is delivered to the jail. Completion of a court or Clerk step can precede the actual jail exit. For that reason, a bond order or recorded property bond should be paired with the Detention Center’s release event.
The Clerk’s appearance-bond procedure lays out the parish process.
The image supports the paperwork path only. It does not identify a 24-hour release time or prove that all holds were cleared.
West Feliciana Release App Limits
WFPSO maintains the official West Feliciana Sheriff LA app through OCV. Its published description advertises tips, incident reporting, and public-safety news. It does not advertise an inmate search, release list, or booking-photo feature. Official Facebook, X, Instagram, and press releases can carry occasional news, but no systematic same-day release archive was verified.
This distinction prevents a common search error. An app or social account operated by the sheriff is still not a release database unless the agency documents that function. For a West Feliciana Parish release in the last 24 hours, use the Detention Center and the event-record route rather than waiting for a social post.
The official app listing shows the scope actually advertised by WFPSO.
The listing confirms a public-safety app, not a West Feliciana Parish release feed. App silence should not be treated as evidence that no release occurred.
West Feliciana Release or Transfer
The Detention Center holds people awaiting trial, parish-sentenced people, and people sentenced to Louisiana DPS&C custody. Leaving its 39-person facility can therefore mean very different things. Community release may follow bond, recognizance, dismissal with no other hold, completion of a parish term, or another lawful discharge. A transfer can lead to DPS&C, another parish, a federal authority, or immigration custody.
- Released
- Parish custody ended and no immediate receiving custodian was identified.
- Transferred
- Parish custody ended because another authority accepted the person.
- Parole
- Confinement ended while the state sentence continued under community supervision.
- Probation
- A court-ordered status that does not, by itself, prove when a jail exit occurred.
For a DPS&C-sentenced person, search Louisiana VINELink and use the state phone locator at 225-383-4580. A prison assignment means continued custody. A Probation and Parole result may show that confinement ended, but it must still be matched to the right person and sentence. VINELink is also a notification channel, not a permanent parish-release archive.
No official Detention Center source publishes daily release time, exit door, family waiting point, transportation, weekend timing, or property-return procedure. Confirm those event-specific details at 4834 Feliciana Street, St. Francisville, LA 70775, during published administrative hours of Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., or call 225-784-3158.
For a wider request window, the Released Last 72 Hours page explains how to frame a three-day event search without turning booking data into a release list.
