TWP Release Status Paths
Louisiana DPS&C identifies the Claiborne Parish Transitional Work Program at the same Highway 520 address as the men's detention center. The state parish directory also uses the name Claiborne Parish TWP (NC), while the longer local listing describes the Claiborne Detention Center Transitional Work Program. Lt. Aleise McCoy is listed as director. The shared address does not make the program identical to the local jail.
A participant may leave for the community at the authorized end of confinement, begin or continue probation or parole supervision, return to a secure placement, or transfer within a local or DPS&C arrangement. Probation is court-ordered supervision, often instead of jail or after a local term. Parole is release from prison while the sentence continues under supervision. A discharge ends the relevant correctional term. Those events differ from a program movement, which only changes placement.
| TWP event | Correct evidence |
|---|---|
| Community discharge | Program exit record and DPS&C discharge status |
| Start or continuation of supervision | DPS&C status and assigned supervision office |
| Return to secure custody | Facility movement record and new state location |
| Transfer to another program | Destination entry and receiving program record |
Confirm TWP Release Status
Use the DPS&C number when available. It is safer than a name alone for following someone between the program, LAVNS, a secure institution, and community supervision. Louisiana directs the public to LAVNS or VINELink for people in prison and under probation or parole. Search by full legal name, repeat with the state identifier, and compare the reporting location and public status. Read what the result says rather than treating any name hit as incarceration.
Apply this sequence:
- Confirm that the person was assigned to the Claiborne Parish Transitional Work Program.
- Record the DPS&C number, full name, date of birth, and last known program date.
- Search Louisiana LAVNS by name and identifier, then read the location and status.
- Call the program to ask which records office owns the movement entry.
- For a supervision result, confirm the assigned district office; for a transfer, verify the receiving site.
- If the online result is absent or unclear, seek the maintained program and DPS&C records.
The DPS&C telephone locator at 225-383-4580 can provide current placement and a projected release date if applicable when supplied a DPS&C number, or name and date of birth. A projected date is not an actual departure record. It can change as sentence calculations, credits, rulings, or holds change.
TWP Movement Record Fields
The facility or program record should identify the physical movement. The state record should identify the continuing legal status. Seek both when a TWP exit is ambiguous. Ask for records as maintained and avoid asking the office to create a custom conclusion. A narrow request includes the participant's full name, aliases, birth date, DPS&C number, the Claiborne program name, and an approximate date range.
| Field | Question answered |
|---|---|
| DPS&C number | Does this entry match the same state case? |
| Exit date and time | When did the participant leave the program site? |
| Movement or disposition type | Was it discharge, supervision, return, or transfer? |
| Destination or receiving facility | Did custody continue at another placement? |
| Supervision status | Did the person enter or remain on parole or probation? |
An online no-match is not proof of full discharge. Search spelling, identifier, reporting-agency, and update issues can affect a result. Save the retrieval date. DPS&C says its public information updates every 24 hours, which does not mean that each facility event appears at a fixed hour or at once.
TWP Regional Release Records
Claiborne Parish's custody map blends local and state roles. It contains a men's jail that holds outside-parish and state people, a separately listed women's jail, the co-located work program, and David Wade Correctional Center. One person may be visible in a local facility record and a state status system during the same sentence. The source that controls an answer depends on the fact being tested.
David Wade's regional operation makes that division especially important. The prison oversees state-felony prisoners across 27 local jails, 12 transitional work programs, and one female reentry program. Its Records Office maintains a 22-parish Pre-Classification District. That structure explains why the state sentence and a local physical placement can sit in separate records even when both are in Claiborne Parish.
The DPS&C Claiborne Parish directory documents the transitional program as its own local listing.
The official listing reinforces why program identity and the DPS&C number must travel with any movement or release check.
TWP Release Supervision Check
A move into community supervision is a physical release, but not necessarily a full sentence discharge. LAVNS may show a person under probation or parole. Confirm the assigned district rather than guessing from the home address or nearest office. Minden is the apparent nearby DPS&C district office, yet the reviewed directory does not publish a parish-boundary map. Call 318-371-3020 and ask whether that office holds the named case.
If parole led to release, the Committee on Parole ruling supplies the release authority. It may precede the actual processing date. The supervision entry shows the community caseload after release. The TWP record supplies the physical exit. Together, these documents separate a granted action, actual movement, and current supervision. For probation tied to a court judgment, the Second Judicial District Court record can add the sentence and terms.
- Parole
- Release from prison while the sentence continues under supervision.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision that may follow or replace confinement.
- Discharge
- The end of the relevant correctional sentence or supervision term.
- Transfer
- A change of placement while legal custody continues.
Request TWP Release Records
Start by calling the program at 318-927-4201 to identify the correct custodian for the particular participant. A locally maintained movement record may be routed through CPSO, while state classification, sentence, release, and discharge information belongs to DPS&C. Ask which authority created the exact record before filing. Phone guidance routes the inquiry, but a written agency record remains the lasting proof.
For a local CPSO record, the sheriff's procedure requires certified mail to Marla Rowe, Civil Deputy and records liaison, 300 Highway 146, Homer, LA 71040. Identify the program and DPS&C number. Ask for the custody movement or release record, date and time, disposition, and receiving agency. Seek an estimate and an electronic non-alterable copy if available.
For a state record, request existing DPS&C release, discharge, classification, or time-computation material tied to the state identifier. Public portions may be subject to lawful redaction. If parole applies, obtain the case-specific Committee action separately. The authority to release, the program's execution of that movement, and later supervision may live in three records.
TWP Release Contact Details
The program is co-located with Claiborne Parish Detention Center at 1415 Highway 520, Homer, Louisiana 71040. The official state listing names Lt. Aleise McCoy as director. Use the facility telephone to confirm the program assignment and records route. Do not assume that a detention-center roster entry or exit fully describes the participant's state status.
No reviewed Claiborne source publishes a guaranteed discharge hour, pickup gate, weekend process, property-return rule, transportation plan, or family waiting area. Call before travel and ask for current logistics. Those instructions can help with a pickup, but they should not be presented as the durable release record.
Note: Use the full program name and DPS&C number so staff do not route the inquiry as a routine local-jail booking.
Interpret TWP Release Results
A good result states both physical placement and legal status. "Left TWP" is incomplete if the destination is unknown. "Transferred to a DPS&C facility" describes continued custody. "Released to parole supervision" describes community placement while the sentence continues. "Discharged" should be reserved for a record that actually shows the relevant term ended.
Compare dates and reporting agencies when sources conflict. The facility owns the exit movement. DPS&C owns sentence computation and state status. The Committee owns its parole ruling. The supervision division owns the assigned case after release. A court owns its probation or sentence order. Direct the question to the office that created the disputed fact.
The Claiborne Parish released-inmate lookup provides a broader path when the last known custody is unclear. Retain identifiers and retrieval dates. Avoid treating a missing online entry as proof of discharge, and never treat a transfer as release to the community.
