Assumption Parish Released Inmate Records
A release from Assumption Parish Detention Center means that the sheriff's physical custody ended for one booking. It does not always mean the person entered the community. The person may have posted bond, received time served, completed a parish sentence, moved to probation, or left under another court order. The same record may instead show a transfer to another parish, Louisiana corrections, federal authorities, or immigration custody. Destination matters as much as date.
The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office keeps the local booking and release or transfer entry. The Assumption Parish Clerk of Court holds the criminal docket that explains bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, or later case action. Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections records apply when a person enters state legal custody. A released inmate normally drops from APSO's live roster because that portal is configured for current inmates. Its absence alone does not state why custody ended.
- Time served
- A sentence satisfied by custody already completed.
- Discharge
- The end of the applicable legal custody term, not just a move between facilities.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision in the community, often instead of more jail time.
- Parole
- Conditional physical release from prison authorized through the state parole process.
- Detainer
- A request or legal basis for another authority to take custody.
Assumption Parish Inmate Release Paths
The legal path determines the best follow-up source. Bond and dismissal can end local physical custody while the court case remains open or concludes. Time served and sentence completion are different from a transfer. Probation follows a court sentence, while parole applies to an imprisoned person released under state authority. A receiving agency named on a transfer or detainer should be checked before anyone assumes the person is free in the community.
| Release entry | Meaning | Next source |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | Local custody ends under bond terms or a promise to appear. | APSO release entry and clerk docket |
| Dismissal or acquittal | The cited charge may end, subject to any other holds. | Clerk disposition and actual jail exit time |
| Time served or parish completion | The local custodial term has been met. | Judgment and APSO release record |
| Probation or parole | Physical custody ends while supervision continues. | VINELink and Donaldsonville District |
| DPS&C transfer | APSO custody ends but state custody continues. | State locator or LAVNS |
| Federal or ICE transfer | Another authority may immediately receive the person. | BOP, federal court, ICE, or the receiving office |
Neither a bond order nor a parole ruling proves the moment a person walked out. Processing, another warrant, a detainer, or receiving-agency transport may intervene. Ask for the actual release date and time plus the disposition and receiving authority.
Note: A release entry naming another custodian documents a transfer, even when the record also uses the word released.
Assumption Parish Release Record Fields
A focused Assumption Parish release request ties the departure to one booking. Use a full booked name, known aliases, an approximate date of birth, and a booking number when available. Ask for the public fields that establish identity, time, authority, and destination. APSO may use different labels and may redact protected material, so the request should describe the information rather than demand a specific database format.
| Requested field | What it establishes |
|---|---|
| Booked name and booking number | Links the release to the correct custody episode. |
| Admission date and time | Marks when that booking began. |
| Actual release or transfer time | Shows when APSO physical custody ended. |
| Release type or disposition | Distinguishes bond, time served, completion, court action, or transfer. |
| Releasing authority | Connects the event to the court, sheriff, or another lawful order. |
| Receiving agency or destination | Shows whether custody continued elsewhere. |
| Charge and bond status | Adds booking context without replacing the clerk's case record. |
| Booking photograph | Helps match the correct booking but does not prove guilt or release. |
| Property notation | May show how inventoried property was handled, subject to redaction. |
Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 228 makes the booking book and booking summaries open to inspection and specifies key admission-side facts. The release side still requires the local event record. For a state prisoner, R.S. 15:574.12 generally protects corrections files but permits general public facts that include the disposition of incarceration and discharge date.
Request Assumption Parish Release Records
APSO has not posted a dedicated release-record form, a copy price, a records retention term, or separate records-office hours. A clear written request can go to the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office administrative office, with detention-specific questions directed to the jail. Keep a copy and the date sent. Ask for an electronic copy and a cost estimate before charges are incurred.
- Identify the person, booking number, and approximate booking and release dates. Use a date of birth only when needed to distinguish the correct record.
- Request the existing booking and release or transfer entry, including actual time, disposition, releasing authority, receiving agency if public, and the booking photo if needed.
- Ask APSO to redact exempt facts instead of withholding the whole record and to cite the legal basis for any denial.
- Compare the response with the Assumption Parish criminal docket. If the response shows a transfer, check the receiving system.
- If DPS&C custody followed, request only the public discharge fields from state corrections when the operational locator no longer resolves the person.

R.S. 44:35 permits further action when five days pass, excluding weekends and legal holidays, without a written determination or reasonable time estimate. That is not a guarantee of full production in five days. Collection, redaction, archive retrieval, and valid exceptions can take more time.
Note: Ask the custodian where older records are stored because no public APSO retention schedule was found.
Assumption Parish Release Snapshot
An official monitoring visit offers dated context, not a current head count. The June 2022 report recorded operational capacity of 125 and an inspection-day count of 115. It separated 36 male DPS&C offenders from 79 local offenders. Those figures cannot be read as annual releases or today's population. They do show why a single local roster can include people governed by different release systems.
The 2022 Basic Jail Guidelines report supports those point-in-time numbers. A current release check still requires the sheriff, court, or state system tied to the named person.
Note: Inspection-day custody counts show the jail's mixed role but cannot estimate present occupancy or annual release volume.
Assumption Parish Jail Release Ambiguity
Assumption Parish Detention Center has a dual role. It holds local defendants and parish sentences, yet it has also housed people in DPS&C legal custody. Two names can leave the APSO current roster on the same day for very different reasons. One person may post bond and enter the community. Another may move to a state institution or a different local jail while the state sentence continues.
The public portal's role is shown on the APSO Public Portal. Its Current Inmates label is precise. After a local release, use APSO and the court. After a state transfer, use LAVNS and the state locator. For full state discharge, seek the statutory discharge date.
Assumption Parish Expunged Release Records
Louisiana expungement removes a qualifying arrest or conviction record from public access without destroying the underlying record. Articles 972 and 973 include photos and disposition information in the affected record and make an expunged record confidential, subject to statutory exceptions. A missing jail photo, docket, or release reference can therefore result from expungement. It does not show that the booking never happened.
The Assumption Parish Clerk's expungement page posts separate payments of $250 to the state bureau, $50 to the district attorney, $50 to the sheriff, and $200 to the clerk. It adds $50 for the Office of Motor Vehicles in a DWI matter. That page was modified in 2023, so confirm the current amounts and eligibility before filing. These are expungement costs, not release-record copy fees.
Article 234 also regulates a defined remove-for-pay booking-photo business. It does not make every government booking photo secret. Official access still turns on public-record law, investigative limits, juvenile rules, and any seal or expungement.
Find Assumption Parish Released Inmates
Start with the system that last had physical custody, then follow any named destination. Repeating a current-roster search cannot supply a historical release date. The strongest path preserves the identity and booking, tests current custody once, checks the court and receiving system, and ends with a focused release-record request.
- Gather the full legal name, spelling variants, approximate age or date of birth, booking date, charge, and booking number.
- Check APSO Current Inmates. A listing means current custody; no listing leaves the question unresolved.
- Search Louisiana VINELink and call the state locator if a DPS&C transfer or active parole or probation is possible.
- Review the Assumption Parish criminal docket for bond, dismissal, sentence, time served, probation, revocation, or transfer authority.
- Ask APSO for actual release or transfer time, reason, and receiving agency. For state discharge, request the public discharge fields from DPS&C.
- Use BOP or ICE only when a federal or immigration fact supports that branch. A transfer does not equal community release.
The sheriff does not publish a verified rolling release feed, so the Assumption Parish 24-Hour Release List explains the exact-time request route. A projected state date is separate from the actual event.
Louisiana Search for Assumption Releases
DPS&C directs the public to Louisiana LAVNS through VINELink rather than a separate historical released-offender database. The service covers state custody and active community supervision and is reported as updated every 24 hours. It can help after a person transfers from the Assumption jail or is physically released on state probation or parole. It does not cover a pretrial detainee or a person serving only a parish or municipal sentence.
| Search route | Input | Verified value |
|---|---|---|
| VINELink person search | Name or ID/case number, with available filters | Agency, custody or supervision status, and event information shown |
| DPS&C phone locator | DPS&C number, or name and date of birth | Housing assignment, facility address and phone, projected date if applicable |
| DPS&C records request | Name and DPS&C number if known | Public offense, sentence, disposition, and discharge-date fields |
The official DPS&C locator instructions document the phone route. They do not promise a projected date on each web result or a permanent discharged-person profile. A retained VINELink result may show a release event, but an empty result cannot prove that release never occurred.
The state locator instructions show how Louisiana separates placement from release-date questions:
The locator is most useful when DPS&C still holds legal custody. A final historical discharge may require a narrow public-record request.
Assumption Parish Release Court Records
The Assumption Parish Clerk of Court is the durable local case source in the 23rd Judicial District. Its docket can explain a bond order, dismissal, plea, sentence, credit for time served, probation, revocation, or case closure long after the live jail profile disappears. It may not state the exact jail-door time, so pair it with APSO's release entry.
The clerk record-search gateway requires an account and posts $20 for 24 hours, $50 for 30 days, $300 for six months, or $500 annually, plus $1 for each printed page. Public computers are available at the clerk's office at 4809 Highway 1 in Napoleonville during posted weekday hours. Call or visit before buying access for one case.
A court order authorizing release can precede physical departure because jail processing or another hold may remain. If the judgment sends the person to DPS&C, continue with the state locator. If it names another detainer, identify the receiving authority.
Note: The clerk docket explains legal authority, while the jail entry supplies actual release or transfer time.
Assumption Parish Release Supervision
A person can be physically released and still serve probation or parole. Courts impose probation. The Committee on Parole authorizes parole release from prison. Louisiana VINELink can show active state community supervision, while the Donaldsonville Probation and Parole District serves Assumption Parish from St. James. Staff may limit case details, but the office can confirm process and whether it is the correct district.
A 2020 DPS&C attachment documented seven transition, family, financial, and cognitive programs at Assumption Parish Detention Center. The list included Inside/Out Dad, Partners in Parenting, Thinking for a Change, and related programs. It is local reentry context, not proof that each program remains active now. Call the facility to confirm current offerings. Assumption Parish parole and probation records cover Donaldsonville office access, verification, warrants, and parole rulings.
Assumption Parish Release Notifications
Louisiana LAVNS, delivered through VINELink, offers person search and custody-change notifications. For a state-prison case, Louisiana Victim Outreach is a separate registration layer for specified projected and actual release, transitional work, escape, appeal, and parole-related notices. A transfer alert must be read as continuing custody unless the record says otherwise. Automated information can lag, so confirm it with the originating agency.
Federal cases use different systems. The BOP Inmate Locator can show a past federal release date and RELEASED or no institution. That means BOP custody ended, not that all supervision or other custody ended. ICE's locator concerns current or recent immigration custody, and no result is conclusive proof of community release.
The BOP result format makes the federal distinction visible:
Use that federal route only when the case facts point there. A local Assumption booking normally begins with APSO and the parish court.
Assumption Parish Release Transfer Language
APSO supplied a useful warning in a June 2025 press release. It said a person at Ascension Parish Jail “was released to the custody of” Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office. In that sentence, release described one agency ending its hold while another agency immediately took control. It did not describe freedom in the community.
The APSO transfer example shows why a record must include destination and receiving authority. Treat “DOC,” “ICE,” “USMS,” “hold,” “detainer,” and “transfer” as prompts to check the next system. A date without the destination is only half the custody story.
Assumption Parish Federal Release Holds
No verified federal or ICE detention contract was found for Assumption Parish Detention Center. The 2022 inspection snapshot counted no federal or ICE occupants on that one day. The jail software contains generic agency codes for ICE and the U.S. Marshals, but software capacity does not prove an active contract or a current detainee.
If an APSO release entry names ICE, USMS, BOP, or another federal authority, treat the event as a possible transfer. Use the receiving locator, hotline, or federal court record. ICE's online locator is not proof of release when it returns no result. The Immigration detention information line, 888-351-4024, is the documented escalation route for an unresolved ICE custody question.
Note: A dated zero count and a generic software label cannot establish the jail's present federal-custody role.
Assumption Parish Custody Versus Release
Each source answers a different time and custody question. Choose it by legal authority, not only by the last building name. A person housed in the Assumption jail may still be a DPS&C offender, while a local defendant may never enter the state system.
| Situation | First source | What confirms it |
|---|---|---|
| Currently held locally | APSO Current Inmates | Detention Center |
| Local bond, dismissal, or time-served release | APSO release or transfer entry | Actual time plus clerk docket |
| Moved into state custody | LAVNS or state locator | DPS&C placement |
| Released under state supervision | VINELink | Donaldsonville District, as disclosure allows |
| Fully discharged by DPS&C | Targeted state records request | Statutory discharge date |
| Released from federal prison | BOP locator | Past date and RELEASED or no institution |
| Possible immigration transfer | ICE locator | ICE hotline or receiving office |
Why is a released person absent from the roster? The APSO view is built for current custody. Once the current profile is removed, only the release entry, court record, or receiving system can explain where the person went.
Assumption Parish Release Facility
Assumption Parish Detention Center is the one verified adult detention facility physically in the parish. APSO operates the parish jail at 233 Highway 1008 in Napoleonville. It holds local people and can house DPS&C offenders. A local release can lead to the community or probation, while another roster departure can be a transfer to state, parish, federal, or immigration custody.
No state-operated prison, federal prison, or publicly identified ICE detention facility was found inside Assumption Parish. Someone sent onward must be followed through the statewide or federal system named in the transfer. The facility page supplies the jail contact, current lookup, records request route, and the limits on published release logistics.
