Caddo Parish Jail Roster Overview
The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office is the local agency for jail custody, sheriff records, active warrants, and courthouse law-enforcement functions. Sheriff Henry L. Whitehorn's office maintains the public current-inmate listing for the Caddo Correctional Center. The roster is a local custody tool. It is useful when a person has been booked into the parish jail or remains in parish detention while charges, bond, transfer, or court dates are pending.
The official Caddo current inmate roster is free to use for current inmates. It is not a full historical booking archive. The research found a separate historical booking path behind a locked login layer, so the public roster should be treated as a current-custody list. A person who has been sentenced and moved to state prison may no longer appear in the parish roster, even though the arrest or court case began in Caddo Parish.
The official Caddo Sheriff current inmates page shows how the public roster is organized.
The roster image supports the main point for Caddo Parish inmate records: the public tool is built around live custody rows, filters, and detail panels rather than a broad court-record database.
Search Caddo Parish Inmate Records
The Caddo inmate lookup process starts with the sheriff roster. The visible controls are filters and sorting options, not a conventional single name-search form. A user can choose all inmates or an alphabetical last-name group, filter by sex, and change the sort order by last name, age, or booking date. Roster rows can open a preview or detail panel with demographics, booking photo or placeholder, location, and charge information when available.
- Open the Caddo Sheriff current-inmate roster and allow the roster table to load.
- Use the last-name letter filter, sex filter, or sort control to narrow the list.
- Compare name, booked date, age, and sex before treating a row as the right person.
- Open the roster row or panel to review location, demographics, and charge details.
- Call the Caddo Correctional Center if the result is unclear, if a recent booking is missing, or if release information is time-sensitive.
Booking data can change quickly. Bond changes, release, transfer, court action, or corrected identity information may not be obvious from a single roster screen. A jail roster entry also does not prove guilt. The court record, not the jail roster, shows later pleas, dismissals, convictions, or sentences. For filed charges and court outcomes after booking, use the Caddo Parish criminal case or court-charge records.
Caddo Parish Jail Roster Fields
The public roster fields captured in the research make the Caddo Parish inmate search different from many county jail sites. The sheriff page exposes alphabet filtering, sex filtering, and several sort choices. It also separates current public roster access from historical booking access, which is important for anyone trying to document an older arrest.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last-name letter | Alphabet filter | No | ALL and A-Z options are visible on the current roster. |
| Sex | Filter | No | Male and Female filters were captured. |
| Sort | Dropdown or control | No | Sort by last name, age, or booking date in ascending or descending order. |
| Roster row | Clickable panel | No | Opens preview or detail information for the listed inmate. |
| Historical bookings login | Locked login | Yes for history | Current roster is public; historical booking access is gated. |
The Louisiana DPS&C inmate information page explains the state custody route for people no longer held in the parish jail.
That state image matters because Caddo Parish inmate records often start locally, while sentenced custody may later be tracked through Louisiana DPS&C and LAVNS.
What Caddo Parish Inmate Profiles Show
A Caddo inmate profile can include basic identity, booking, custody, and charge details. The fields below come from the official roster and observed preview behavior. Some entries may have a booking photo, while others may show a placeholder. Charge panels can list the charge description, booking agency, bond amount, and internal booking identifiers where the public view exposes them.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Last, first, and middle name as displayed by the sheriff roster. |
| Booked date | The booking date visible in the roster row. |
| Age, DOB, sex, race | Identity and demographic details used to separate similar names. |
| Height and weight | Physical descriptors shown in the preview panel when available. |
| City, state, ZIP | Residence or location data displayed in the preview. |
| Location | Custody location information shown by the roster. |
| Charges | Charge description fields tied to the booking detail. |
| Booking agency | The agency associated with the booking or charge detail. |
| Bond amount | Bond listed per charge where the roster provides it. |
| Booking ID/photo source | Internal detail fields that may appear in public roster data. |
Note: A public jail profile is a custody record and should be checked against court records before drawing conclusions about case outcome.
Caddo Parish Jail Contacts
The main local jail facility is the Caddo Correctional Center. The sheriff also lists a downtown courthouse office for sheriff services and records-related contact. The research found an official-site inconsistency in the jail ZIP code, with the same street address appearing with different ZIPs in sheriff materials. For mail, money, release, or urgent visit questions, confirm the current address with CPSO before sending anything.

Caddo Parish Inmates in State Custody
After sentencing or transfer, a person may leave Caddo Parish jail custody and enter the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections system. DPS&C states that LAVNS can locate incarcerated people and is updated every 24 hours. Searches may use location, name, and ID or case number. DPS&C also provides a phone locator at 225-383-4580, and callers need the DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth.
State custody information can include housing assignment, facility address, facility contact phone, and projected release date where applicable. That record is not the same as a Caddo Sheriff roster entry. It also is not the full criminal case file. The parish court file remains with the court and clerk, while DPS&C tracks custody after a person enters state prison or supervision.
The Louisiana DPS&C facility locations page gives facility-level context for state prisoners tied to Caddo Parish cases.
The facility-location image helps separate local jail roster research from state prison lookup, which is a common point of confusion in Caddo Parish inmate records.
Caddo Parish Booking Follow-Up
A booking record may show charges or bond before the court record is complete. In Caddo Parish, the next record depends on the agency and court path. A sheriff booking or warrant can lead to a prosecutor filing in the First Judicial District Court. Some city matters may move through Shreveport City Court. The Caddo District Attorney, Caddo Clerk of Court, sheriff, or city court may each hold a different piece of the post-booking record.
When a roster result shows charges, use the charge text as a lead, not as the final word. Charge descriptions can be amended, reduced, dropped, dismissed, or replaced by a later bill of information or indictment. The full case file and disposition are handled as court records. The inmate roster is still valuable because it can identify custody location, booking agency, and bond fields that help a family member or attorney route follow-up questions.
The Caddo Sheriff contact page gives official sheriff contact routing for records and custody questions.
The contact image reinforces the practical route for Caddo Parish inmate records when the online roster does not answer a custody or records question.
Caddo Parish Inmate Visitation
CPSO publishes official detention menu links for visitation rules and visitation schedule pages, but the research notes that several detention pages did not expose full schedule text in direct fetch. Because of that gap, the safest approach is to use the sheriff's official visitation pages as the source point and confirm the current day, time, visit type, visitor requirements, and inmate eligibility before arrival. Do not rely on a copied schedule from a nonofficial site.
| Service | Official Source / Vendor | Confirmed Detail | Verify Before Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation rules | CPSO visitation rules | Official detention menu page exists. | Dress code, child rules, visit length, and current restrictions. |
| Visitation schedule | CPSO visitation schedule | Official schedule page exists. | Day, time, housing unit, and holiday changes. |
| Video calls | City Tele Coin | Video-call account and payment path are available. | Caddo-specific price, availability, and approval rules. |
| Attorney visits | Caddo Correctional Center | No public social-visit schedule should be applied blindly. | Attorney access procedures and any court-specific requirements. |
Note: If a visit relates to a deadline, bond issue, or court appearance, call the facility before traveling.
Mail Phone and Jail Services
The current sheriff material captured a jail mail format using the inmate name and SO number, followed by PO Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. Some official-index snippets showed an older or alternate Shreveport PO Box. Use the live sheriff inmate page and confirm with CPSO before sending mail or money because the SO number and current address matter. Mail without the right identity data may be delayed or rejected.
City Tele Coin appears in the Caddo jail-services research as the relevant service vendor for account creation, payments, calling cards, video calls, contact management, commissary deposit, tablet or media funds, and messaging. City Tele Coin's Bossier City support contact is 4501 Marlena Street, Bossier City, LA 71111, phone 318-746-1114, with listed hours of 7:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. CST. The research captured interstate phone rates of $0.21 per minute for debit or prepaid calls and $0.25 per minute for collect calls, while in-state rates were not confirmed.
The VINELink public notification system is another custody-related source for victim notification and inmate-location alerts.

Caddo Parish Inmate Record Limits
The Caddo Sheriff app is an official CPSO service for alerts, messages, services, and support. The app page says it was updated for 2024 and is free for iOS, Android, and Windows devices. The research did not confirm an app-only inmate lookup, so the public web roster remains the supported inmate search path. The sheriff app should not be used in an emergency; CPSO tells users to call 911 for immediate assistance.
Louisiana public-record rules still matter for jail and booking records. La. R.S. 44:31 provides a general right to inspect and copy public records unless another law restricts access. La. R.S. 44:3 restricts some law-enforcement and prosecutive records, while certain arrest, booking, citation, and charging information remains public. Juvenile records, expunged records, protected victim information, and sensitive personal identifiers are not ordinary public display items.
