Acadia Parish Jail Destinations
An Acadia Parish Jail release ends an APSO booking, but it may not end detention. Bond, time served, dismissal, probation, or completion of a local sentence can lead to the community. A state sentence, outside warrant, immigration hold, or federal case can instead lead to a receiving custodian. The portal’s dated result proves that APSO marked the booking released on that date. Held-for details and the full jail record determine which agency should be checked next.
The most useful way to read the event is as a chain. APSO supplies the local custody event. The Acadia Parish Clerk supplies a district-court disposition when the legal reason matters. Louisiana VINE or DPS&C can show state custody or active parole and probation. ICE ODLS, BOP, or a receiving sheriff may be needed after a transfer. A bond amount or judge name is only a lead. It is not proof that all bond terms were met or that the person left every form of custody.
| Recorded next step | Best confirmation |
|---|---|
| Community release | APSO release date and release type, supported by the court record when needed |
| DPS&C custody or supervision | Louisiana VINE and the DPS&C telephone locator |
| Another jail or police agency | Receiving agency roster, VINE entry, or direct records confirmation |
| ICE or federal custody | ICE ODLS, federal court record, USMS inquiry, or BOP locator as applicable |
Confirm Acadia Jail Releases
The documented online route is the APSO Zuercher Jail Population portal. Unlike a current roster alone, it has a calendar Release Date filter. Search the person by name first, then use plausible release dates. Compare age, arrest date, held-for agency, and charge or hold details before accepting a same-name result. A dated match says APSO marked that booking released. It does not identify the release type or destination in every case.
- Search the person’s name and note the matching arrest date and agency details.
- Run the Release Date filter for each likely calendar day. Do not treat one empty date as a final answer.
- Read the release date beside the held-for agency. Check whether the record points to APSO, DPS&C, ICE/USICE, USMS, or an outside agency.
- Call Corrections when the exact time, type, or destination is not public, then follow the receiving custodian if there was a transfer.
- Use the court disposition to confirm dismissal, bond action, time served, or probation without confusing the order date with physical release.
A current-custody roster is useful before release. Once the person disappears, the release-date search and agency record become more important. The complete parish search sequence is also set out on the Acadia Parish released inmate search. Note: Record the dates searched because APSO publishes neither a portal update cadence nor a fixed online lookback period.
Acadia Jail Release Records
The Louisiana directory lists the Acadia Parish Jail contact separately from the Detention Center entry. A narrow request should identify the person, approximate arrest and release dates, and the Jail label. Ask for booking and release time, release type or code, destination or receiving agency, and the bond or court-order reference. The listed prison fax differs between official directories, so telephone confirmation is the safest route before sending a record request.
Acadia Parish Jail
P.O. Box 289
Crowley, LA 70527
Phone: 337-788-8737
Directory fax: 337-788-8766
APSO does not publish a dedicated release-record request form, copy fee, records hours, or retention period. The official APSO contact channel and main office at 1037 Capitol Ave. can route a written request to the records custodian. Ask for a cost estimate before copies. If the record is unavailable, ask whether it is not yet ready, no longer retained, or withheld, and request the retention schedule or legal basis that applies.
Acadia Jail Corrections Context
The Acadia Parish Sheriff operates parish corrections. Its official corrections page describes a 190-bed operation and reports that more than 2,700 people were processed in 2016. The year matters. That throughput figure is historical and must not be read as a current annual count. The same source links a current population view, while the newer portal adds the release-date search that is more useful after a booking ends.
No official source found in the research states the Jail’s physical exit, release-processing schedule, weekend practice, property-return rule, family waiting area, or transportation pickup point. Those details require direct APSO confirmation. Generic jail customs are not a sound substitute. A caller should also confirm which address serves the release function because the Jail entry supplies a post-office box while related APSO listings use street addresses.
Acadia Jail Naming Record
Official sources use three related Acadia labels: Acadia Parish Detention Center, Acadia Parish Jail, and Acadia Parish Criminal Justice Center. The DPS&C Acadia directory lists the first two as jail entries and the Criminal Justice Center as an office. APSO, however, describes one corrections operation. Nothing in the researched sources verifies three separate inmate populations. This naming issue is a release-record problem because a caller may search the wrong label or assume that one building has a separate roster.
Keep the Jail label when using its directory phone and mailing address. For the underlying booking, use APSO’s portal and Corrections route. If staff identify the physical unit under another official name, record that answer with the date. The sibling Acadia Parish Detention Center page preserves its own directory contact without claiming a duplicate inmate group.
Note: A facility name in a directory identifies a contact route, not proof of a separate detained population.
Acadia Jail ICE Transfers
The APSO portal includes ICE and USICE among its held-for choices, making immigration transfer a concrete Acadia Parish possibility. A person can be released from the Jail booking yet remain detained after ICE assumes custody. In that situation, the sheriff record is the first half of the chain. ICE ODLS, the receiving facility, and release paperwork supply the next status.
An immigration detainer is a request that the local agency notify ICE and hold a person briefly when the person would otherwise be releasable. Its presence does not prove ICE completed a pickup. Check what happened. If APSO records ICE as the destination, search ODLS by A-number and country of birth or by exact biographical information. ICE states that ODLS covers current detainees and many people released from ICE custody within the prior 60 days, though records may lag or be absent.
Acadia Jail Court Proof
A detention record shows the physical custody event. The court file shows the legal action. For an Acadia district-court case, the Acadia Parish Clerk’s Criminal Department may hold the bond order, dismissal, plea, judgment, sentence, credit for time served, probation order, or later revocation. The Fifteenth Judicial District serves three parishes, but the Acadia Clerk remains the local custodian for Acadia district-criminal dispositions.
Do not merge those records. A court order may precede actual release processing, and an APSO release date does not prove that the case ended. Ask for a plain or certified disposition based on the purpose. The Clerk lists public-terminal access and specific disposition-copy fees, but those court fees are not APSO Jail record fees. Municipal matters and outside holds may require a different court or agency. Note: When timing matters, pair the signed court action with the Jail’s recorded release date and time.
When sources disagree, rank them by the fact each office creates. APSO’s portal and booking or release summary are primary for the local custody event. The Clerk’s signed judgment or minute carries more weight than a short jail charge label for the case result. A court calendar proves scheduling, not disposition. Louisiana VINE is useful for a later custody change, but it reflects data supplied by participating agencies and can lag. Record the retrieval date and confirm the event with the custodian. A blank result should be described as “not publicly located,” since spelling, timing, final discharge, sealing, or expungement can limit visibility. For a common name, compare the arrest date, age, held-for agency, and booking facts while avoiding unnecessary personal detail.
