Maximum Center Release Paths
Bossier Maximum Security Center is a local correctional facility operated by the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office. Its roster can include people held for local cases and people serving sentences in the legal custody of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. That mix makes the destination as important as the fact that someone left the building. A local detainee may go to the community after bond, time served, or a court order. Another person may go to Bossier Medium Correctional Center, a state institution, a federal or immigration custodian, or a correctional program.
Roster removal alone does not say which event occurred. For community release, look for the Sheriff's release date and time, release reason, and any court or bond reference. For a transfer, look for a receiving agency or destination code. A person who leaves the Maximum Center while still under state sentence may remain confined elsewhere or may begin parole, good-time, or another form of community supervision.
Confirm Maximum Center Releases
Begin with the Sheriff's official inmate-search handoff and save the exact name, inmate number, booking number, and booked date from a matching entry. A current entry generally supports continued local custody. No result is weaker evidence because spelling, vendor delay, transfer, restricted access, and release can all remove or hide an entry.
- Check the Bossier Police-to-Citizen catalog for the last matching booking and note the listed agency.
- Search Louisiana LAVINE by name or available ID and read the status text literally.
- For a local case, review the Bossier case in the 26th Judicial District Court for bond, dismissal, time served, sentence, or release authority.
- Call the Maximum Center when the public sources conflict and ask which public record confirms the custody event.
- File a narrow Sheriff records request for the release event when exact timing or destination matters.
A transfer notice is not a release notice. A community-supervision entry can support physical release from the jail while showing that correctional authority continues. For a full multi-agency lookup, use the Bossier Parish released-inmate search and keep each system's scope separate.
Maximum Center Release Records
The facility is the direct contact for an immediate location question, while the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office is the public-record custodian for a local booking and release event. Research found no published release hours, exit gate, property pickup process, weekend rule, or family waiting area for this Plain Dealing site. Call before relying on a mailing detail or planning an in-person records visit.
Bossier Maximum Security Center
2985 Old Plain Dealing Road
Plain Dealing, LA 71064
Phone: 318-326-4405
Fax: 318-965-3590
A release-record request can ask for the booking and release date and time, releasing facility, event type or destination code, bond or court-order reference, transfer agency when applicable, and the code legend. Include a precise booking number or arrest date. The Sheriff Public Records Request page supplies the official route. It accepts a request by email, mail, or delivery to the Records Division in Benton, and the office issues an invoice when a charge applies.
Note: Do not send payment with the initial Sheriff request; the published procedure says an invoice is issued when costs apply.
Maximum Center Custody Types
The Louisiana DPS&C location page classifies Bossier Maximum Security Center as a local jail. That label does not mean every person inside has only a parish sentence. Louisiana can place a person committed to DPS&C in a Sheriff-run local facility, leaving legal custody and physical location split between two agencies.
| Last known status | Best confirmation route |
|---|---|
| Local pretrial booking | Sheriff release event plus bond or court minute |
| Bossier parish sentence | Facility event plus sentence-completion minute |
| DPS&C sentence held locally | LAVINE, state phone locator, and DPS&C discharge or supervision record |
| Transfer to another custodian | Local destination code plus receiving-agency record |
The distinction prevents a common error. Departure from this building is a physical event. Discharge is the end of a sentence or specified correctional status. Parole or good-time release can end confinement but continue supervision, so those words should not be replaced with a broad claim that the sentence ended.
Maximum Center Court Records
The 26th Judicial District Court and Bossier Parish Clerk maintain the durable case record for parish felony and district matters. Court minutes may show bond, recognizance, dismissal, a plea, credit for time served, probation, revocation, commitment, or an order to release. Because the district covers both Bossier and Webster Parishes, confirm that the selected docket is the Bossier case.
A court minute establishes legal authority and case disposition. It may not give the exact moment Maximum Center staff completed the release. Pair it with the Sheriff event when timing is important. For an old case that no longer appears in a current roster, the Bill of Information, Case Minutes, sentence, and certified disposition can be more durable than a vendor search result.
- Release event
- The facility record of when and how a person left that placement.
- Disposition
- The court's outcome for a charge or case.
- Transfer
- Movement to another facility or custodian without community release.
- Discharge
- The end of the specified correctional term or authority.
Maximum Center State Releases
For a person serving a Louisiana sentence at Maximum Center, use LAVINE and the DPS&C automated locator rather than relying only on the Bossier catalog. DPS&C states that LAVINE includes people in prison and people under probation or parole supervision. The phone locator at 225-383-4580 accepts a DPS&C number or a name and date of birth, then can provide the facility assignment, facility contact, a projected release date when applicable, or the assigned Probation and Parole district.
A projected release date predicts a possible future event and may change. It does not confirm that the person left Maximum Center. The stronger state record is an actual DPS&C discharge date, release certificate, or community-supervision assignment matched to the local physical event. Public categories available by request under Louisiana law include the discharge date and certain incarceration-disposition facts, though other corrections material may remain confidential.
Note: A LAVINE status should be copied exactly because released, transferred, and community supervision describe different custody outcomes.
Maximum Center Federal Transfers
Historical records add a qualified transfer check. ICE inspection letters and a U.S. Marshals agreement document federal or immigration use of Bossier Parish correctional space in prior years. The ICE material is dated 2019 and describes an intergovernmental arrangement for an over-72-hour facility. It is not proof that Maximum Center has a current federal contract or houses a dedicated ICE population in 2026.
When a booking event contains a federal or immigration clue, identify the receiving system. The BOP locator covers Bureau of Prisons custody and historical BOP releases. U.S. Marshals pretrial detention may not appear there. The ICE Online Detainee Locator covers civil immigration detention and can show certain recent releases. A local destination code, the relevant federal court order, ICE ERO, or a receiving-agency record is needed to show what happened after the person left Bossier Parish.
Maximum Center Official Listing
The Louisiana DPS&C Bossier Parish facility listing places Maximum, Medium, and the Transitional Work Program in one official local-jail directory.
The listing helps verify the distinct facility names, addresses, and phone lines. It does not replace a release event or prove that someone who changed locations entered the community.
Strong Maximum Release Proof
The strongest record ties one person and booking to a release date, release type, and destination, then agrees with the controlling court or DPS&C record. LAVINE can add a useful agency-fed status. A bond amount or order only shows authority or terms. It does not prove that Maximum Center completed processing. Likewise, a name missing from the catalog is only a lead.
If public systems disagree, preserve the identifiers and ask for the narrow event record. Do not combine different bookings or assume an adjacent-facility move was a community release. Maximum Center and Medium Center sit in the same Plain Dealing custody cluster, and movement among them can change one roster or location field while confinement continues. A careful record trail answers both questions: where did the person go, and which agency now controls the status?
Preserve Maximum Release Proof
Keep the agency response, court minute, and exact LAVINE label with the booking number and event date. That compact record makes later review possible if a vendor result changes, expires, or moves behind a different search route.
