No Official 72-Hour Release Feed
The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office publishes a current-year booking chronology and a separate LAVNS current roster. It does not publish a rolling 72-hour release list. It also has no verified 24-hour or 48-hour release view. The available pages cannot be filtered into a truthful three-day release feed because they do not contain the required release event.
The chronology records booking date, name, age, a partial or stated location, and charge text. It lacks booking number, release date, release reason, custody status, bond disposition, destination, and photograph. The LAVNS roster is a current display with an update timestamp. It has no released control and no historical release interval.
Request West Feliciana Three-Day Releases
A 72-hour request works best as a bounded records question. Record the beginning and ending date and time, including the time zone. If the period crosses midnight, a weekend, or a holiday, keep the endpoints exact. Ask whether the responsive time is actual physical departure or database entry. That distinction matters when staff enter an event after the movement occurred.
- Write the precise 72-hour interval. If the need is for three calendar dates, state that instead of using a rolling-window label.
- Review the booking chronology for names and approximate booking dates. Do not treat a booking date as a release date.
- Review the current roster and note its displayed update time. A listed person is shown in current custody; an absent person still needs follow-up.
- Call West Feliciana Parish Detention Center at 225-784-3158. Ask for admissions, releases, and transfers in the stated range, subject to what the custodian can provide.
- For a named person, request the booking and release record with event time, type, authority, and receiving agency. Follow any transfer into the destination system.
- Obtain the related 20th Judicial District Court minute when bond, dismissal, sentence, time served, or another court act needs to be confirmed.
WFPSO’s public-records page lists in-person, mail, email, and fax channels. A request may be emailed to records@wfpso.org or faxed to 225-635-6947, attention RECORDS REQUEST. The records information number is 225-635-3241. Ask for electronic delivery when practical and request a cost estimate under the current fee schedule.
Note: A three-day range should include both dates and times so the custodian can identify the intended event window without guessing.
West Feliciana 72-Hour Record Fields
Because no official West Feliciana Parish 72-hour feed exists, the useful field table is a request checklist. The fields connect one booking to one outcome and show whether parish custody ended in the community or at another facility. Not every field is guaranteed public, but naming the requested items helps the custodian locate existing records.
| Field | Why it matters in a 72-hour check |
|---|---|
| Person identifiers | Separate people with similar names and connect the result to the right case. |
| Booking number | Separates one custody episode from earlier or later bookings. |
| Admission date and time | Shows when this specific episode began. |
| Release date and time | Places the end of parish custody within or outside the requested interval. |
| Release type or reason | Distinguishes bond, court order, time served, sentence completion, and transfer. |
| Releasing authority | Points to the source of legal or administrative authority. |
| Destination or transfer agency | Shows whether another custodian immediately took control. |
| Bond disposition | Supports comparison with the related court and Clerk records. |
A court minute and jail event record serve different roles. The minute can show the legal order, such as bond or credit for time served. The jail record establishes the physical custody event. Another hold, incomplete bond step, or delayed delivery of an order can prevent an immediate exit even when the court has acted.
If the three-day interval contains several bookings for one person, request each booking separately. State the known aliases, approximate booking dates, and case or booking numbers when available. Ask the custodian to identify any receiving agency rather than asking it to certify community release when its record shows only a transfer. That destination field determines whether the next step belongs with Louisiana DPS&C, another parish, a federal authority, or ICE.
West Feliciana Weekend Release Checks
A 72-hour interval is useful when a same-day inquiry would omit events from the prior two days. It can cover a weekend or a multi-day period in one request. Still, no official WFPSO source publishes weekend or holiday release timing. There is no published fixed exit time, processing schedule, family waiting area, or transport procedure.
Do not fill those gaps with practices from another jail. Instead, ask the Detention Center whether the event occurred within the exact interval and whether the recorded time marks physical departure. Administrative contact hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 4834 Feliciana Street, St. Francisville, LA 70775. The main detention phone is 225-784-3158.
A three-day roster comparison remains incomplete. If a person appeared on Friday and was absent on Monday, the comparison shows only that the display changed. It does not identify Saturday release, Sunday transfer, Monday correction, or another event. A timestamped release or transfer record supplies the missing fact.
West Feliciana Release Data Mismatch
West Feliciana Parish maintains two datasets with different meanings. The sheriff’s chronology can retain booking facts after a person is no longer shown in custody, but it contains no release field. The LAVNS roster shows current displayed custody, not historical disposition. Neither is an official three-day release archive.
At one research observation, the roster carried an update from that evening while the newest entry in the manual chronology was nine days earlier. This was a point-in-time difference, not a published lag, schedule, or retention rule. The two pages may change on different cycles because they perform different jobs.
The sheriff’s booking chronology illustrates the local distinction.
The capture confirms the archive’s text booking fields and roster link. It does not prove who was released during any 72-hour period.
Trace West Feliciana Release Custody
West Feliciana Parish Detention Center holds pretrial detainees, parish-sentenced people, and people serving Louisiana DPS&C sentences. That mixed population makes the receiving agency essential. Leaving the parish building can be a community release, but it can also be a state transfer, return to another parish, or handoff to another authority.
| Outcome | Confirmation route |
|---|---|
| Community release from parish jail | WFPSO release event plus the 20th JDC minute when legal authority matters. |
| DPS&C transfer or state discharge | WFPSO destination plus Louisiana LAVNS and the automated state locator. |
| Another parish or agency | WFPSO transfer record followed by the receiving custodian’s intake or release record. |
| Federal custody | BOP locator for a sentenced federal person and the federal docket when a court order matters. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator when the release record identifies an ICE handoff. |
Louisiana’s VINELink person search covers state imprisonment and community supervision data as well as participating local information. A facility assignment indicates continued custody. A Probation and Parole result can support that confinement ended, but a missing result is not a historical West Feliciana Parish release record.
The current roster also offers custody-change registration. An alert is a lead, not final proof. R.S. 15:1229 warns that automated notification is not guaranteed accurate, complete, or timely, so every event should be confirmed with the named custodian.
For a parish-held DPS&C prisoner, two dates may describe two different movements. WFPSO can record departure from its building while the state sentence and custody continue elsewhere. The statewide locator then answers whether the person entered another facility, reached community supervision, or later discharged. A 72-hour parish request should preserve that distinction instead of reporting every departure as freedom.
Choose the Right Release Window
The 72-hour route is intended for a wider set of events, including a weekend-sized interval. A person-specific check often yields a more precise answer because the request can name one booking and one set of fields. For a same-day interval, use the Released Last 24 Hours workflow. It adds the locally documented bond chain and same-day verification steps.
For older West Feliciana Parish events, the public pages have no proven permanent archive value. Start with a targeted WFPSO request and the Clerk’s daily minutes or docket. If WFPSO reports a transfer, the search continues until the receiving authority confirms its intake and later release. “Left this jail” and “free in the community” are not interchangeable.
