Find OCC Release Records

OCC Release Destinations

Ouachita Correctional Center is the parish jail operated by the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office. All parish law-enforcement agencies rely on OCC for arrests. Its population includes people awaiting court action, people serving parish sentences, and prisoners held for the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. Those groups can pass through the same booking office, yet the legal meaning of their departure differs. A court-authorized bond or dismissal may allow a person to return to the community. Completion of a parish sentence can do the same. A state prisoner may instead leave in a transport vehicle for a DPS&C placement.

An OCC roster removal cannot identify the destination by itself. Another warrant, a detainer, or a receiving agency can keep custody in force after the local episode closes. A detainer is a request by another authority to hold or transfer a person. The OCC release report should be matched with the court order or receiving record. That pairing answers two distinct questions: when the parish jail relinquished physical custody, and whether the person then entered the community, supervision, another jail, state custody, federal custody, or immigration detention.

Confirm an OCC Release

The official OCC current roster answers whether a person is displayed as currently held. It is not a verified release archive, and no official source states how long an old row stays visible. Record the time of the search. If the name is absent, move to the record trail instead of repeating the roster query. OPSO’s app may send a release alert when a notice was set by name or date of birth, but that alert does not replace the signed or certified agency record.

Use this order for an individual Ouachita Correctional Center release:

1. Search the current roster and compare the person’s identifiers. Treat absence only as “not currently displayed.”
2. Review any saved Ouachita Sheriff app or LAVNS event notice, including its time, source agency, and exact wording.
3. Ask OPSO Records for the identified booking sheet and release report, including the actual release date and time, type, authority, and destination if releasable.
4. Check the criminal minutes and disposition through the Ouachita Clerk’s current court inquiry path.
5. When the record says transfer, check DPS&C, another jail, BOP, or ICE as the destination requires.

The broader Ouachita Parish released-inmate search explains how the local, state, court, and federal channels fit together. A court minute proves a legal event, while the OCC report documents the jail’s physical custody event. Neither should be forced to answer the other office’s question.

OCC Release Record Requests

The OPSO Records/Identification Division says it receives and maintains inmate booking documentation in physical and electronic form and handles public-records requests. A useful request identifies the person, aliases, date of birth if known, and an approximate booking interval. Ask for the booking sheet, release report, actual date and time, release type or disposition, releasing authority, transfer destination, and booking photograph if releasable. Request electronic copies and a cost estimate. No verified OCC release-report fee or fixed delivery time was found, so neither should be assumed.

Louisiana public-record rules allow inspection and copying subject to exemptions. Corrections confidentiality, an expungement order, and other laws can limit what the custodian provides. An expungement removes covered material from normal public access; it does not mean every underlying record was destroyed. R.S. 44:36 governs retention but does not promise that OCC keeps a profile online for the same period. If precision matters, request the operational release report and the related court minutes rather than relying on a screenshot of a live roster.

Note: Ask the custodian to identify the lawful basis for any withheld field and to provide the releasable portion of the record.

OCC Release Contacts

Ouachita Correctional Center is at 4801 Highway 165 Bypass, Monroe, Louisiana 71202. The documented general OPSO number is 318-329-1200. No public release-desk hours or separate release line were verified. Call the general number to confirm urgent logistics, but send a record request to the records custodian when documentary proof is needed. The Sheriff’s general office publishes weekday office hours, yet those hours should not be presented as the jail release desk schedule.

OPSO does not publish a verified release exit, family waiting area, property-return process, or weekend and holiday procedure. Ask OCC directly before traveling. Avoid filling those gaps with practices from a different jail. If a caller demands money for a claimed release issue, verify the claim through the published OPSO number rather than the number supplied by the caller.

OCC Release Operations

The official OCC overview gives context for the volume and scope of the jail. OPSO reports an approximately 150-deputy staff and a $13 million operating budget funded with parish tax revenue and reimbursement for holding DPS&C prisoners. Seventeen booking personnel coordinate intake and releases. The facility says 40 to 70 people are processed each day. That last figure combines intake and release activity. It is not a count of daily releases and should never be converted into one.

The source view below shows the official facility material used for those figures. Visit the OPSO OCC page before relying on a current operational detail.

OCC Release Record Layers

A parish booking record, a court file, and a DPS&C master prison record can all describe the same person without being duplicates. The OCC report focuses on the local custody episode. Court minutes explain the legal authority, charge disposition, sentence, and later rulings. The state master record controls a state sentence and its computation. A favorable parole decision is also separate from the later act of release. Reading each source within its role prevents a transfer from being mislabeled as discharge.

Clerk Connect is the current Ouachita criminal-inquiry path identified by the Clerk of Court. Its minutes may show a filed charge, disposition, sentence, or later action, depending on what is available. A court entry does not supply the jail-door time, and an OCC time stamp does not decide the legal case. Confirm whether the matter belongs to the Fourth Judicial District Court or a Monroe or West Monroe city court before treating a missing parish result as meaningful. The correct court depends on the case, not solely on where OCC is located.

A released person may no longer appear on the live jail roster. The record request is the durable local path. If the state locator assigns a Probation and Parole district, that can show community supervision, which means the person left confinement but may not have completed the legal sentence.

Actual release time, projected release date, parole eligibility, and full-term date are also distinct. OCC’s public material does not publish a local weekend rule or calculation worksheet. A person serving a parish sentence should obtain the authorized local calculation and court commitment. A DPS&C prisoner housed at OCC follows the state master record even when OCC separately records movement out of its building.

OCC and Work Program Releases

Ouachita Parish has two separately addressed transitional work programs in addition to OCC. Louisiana DPS&C lists one for females and one for males. They are not extra pretrial jail units, and their departures do not form an OCC recent-release list. A resident can leave a program for full discharge, community supervision, another placement, or a status change documented in state and program records. Physical movement and legal sentence completion are not interchangeable facts.

Use OCC records only for the OCC custody episode. For a work-program departure, start with the relevant program and DPS&C/LAVNS, then confirm supervision through Monroe Probation and Parole when the record points there. This distinction matters even when two locations share the same parish and familiar street names. The correct agency is the one with legal custody for the episode being verified.

Note: The two work programs maintain distinct addresses and contact numbers, so identify the exact program before requesting a departure record.
