Private-site notice: This is not a government office and has no access to official custody systems. We cannot confirm whether someone is held or released, release a person, post or accept bond, retrieve a booking record, or change an agency record. Contact the government office responsible for the record or custody event.
Choose the Responsible Office
West Carroll Parish release questions should go first to the agency that last held the person. The Sheriff maintains local jail and booking operations. The Clerk of Court maintains the criminal case file, which may explain a bond, disposition, sentence, or other court action. Louisiana corrections offices handle state custody, state release records, and post-release supervision. These records serve different purposes, so one office may not be able to answer a question that belongs to another.

The Sheriff's homepage invites general calls at any time, 24/7. It does not publish hours for records staff, public inspection, or release processing. Call before an in-person visit and ask where a public-records request should be directed. For a release question, identify the person and booking, then request the actual release or transfer date and time and the custody disposition if maintained and public.

Oak Grove, LA 71263
Phone: 318-428-3281
Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except legal holidays
The Clerk is the local source for Fifth Judicial District criminal case records. A docket or filed order may explain the legal basis for a custody change, but it does not certify the exact moment someone left the jail. Ask for a specific docket document and confirm criminal copy or certification charges before ordering.

Tallulah, LA 71282
Phone: 318-574-4201
Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Tallulah office serves West Carroll Parish along with several neighboring parishes. An arrest in West Carroll does not by itself prove that Tallulah supervises the person. Confirm the assigned district through an official state record, release certificate, or the Louisiana corrections locator before directing a supervision question there.

Use this channel for a narrow request for an existing Louisiana DPS&C record. Sentence-computation questions belong with the separate automated computation line at 225-342-0799. For current housing, facility contact, a projected date when applicable, or an assigned supervision district, the DPS&C Imprisoned Person Locator is available at 225-383-4580.
The correct path depends on the question:
- For a named released person and the complete local-to-state search sequence, start with the West Carroll Parish release search.
- For post-release supervision, compare parole and probation and verify the assigned office through Probation & Parole.
- For a same-day local jail inquiry, use the fallback steps on Jail Releases: 24 Hours.
- For a forecast or state sentence date, consult Projected Release and distinguish it from an actual exit.
- For a Louisiana custody or supervision alert, use the official route described under VINELink Inmate Search.
- For West Carroll Parish Jail details, use the facility page listed in the footer and contact the Sheriff directly.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the responsible federal agency's official locator rather than a West Carroll Parish office.
