Locate Raymond Laborde Discharges

Raymond Laborde Release Outcomes

Raymond Laborde Correctional Center is operated by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. It is not an Avoyelles Parish Sheriff’s Office jail. A man leaving prison custody may reach full-term discharge, start discretionary parole, begin good-time parole supervision, or transfer within DPS&C. Those events have different meanings. Release from confinement can begin community supervision without ending the whole sentence.

Full discharge means the relevant correctional term has ended, subject to any separate case, hold, or legal duty. Parole permits release from imprisonment under conditions imposed through the state process. Good-time supervision can follow a calculated early release and continue until the full-term date. A transfer merely changes the person’s place of confinement. The DPS&C record should be read with the exact status and date shown rather than collapsed into the broad word “released.”

Search Raymond Laborde Releases

DPS&C directs public searches to Louisiana LAVNS/VINELink. The agency says a person can be searched by location, name, or ID/case number and that public information is updated every 24 hours. The interface is dynamic, so copy the exact status, responsible agency, location, and date labels shown. A facility result indicates reported custody. A released, discharged, parole, or other status should not be reworded into a stronger conclusion.

1. Open the Louisiana LAVNS/VINELink search and confirm that Louisiana is selected.
2. Enter the full name or DPS&C identification number, then review candidates for the correct identity.
3. Open the record and note the exact custody status, facility, agency, and effective date displayed.
4. Call the DPS&C Imprisoned Person Locator at 225-383-4580 when a public result is unclear or a projected date is needed.
5. Ask DPS&C records or time computation to distinguish actual discharge, supervision, full term, parole eligibility, and transfer.

A no-match result is not a discharge certificate. Try a spelling variant, use the DPS&C number when known, and call the locator. The DPS&C inmate information channel accepts a department number or the person’s name and date of birth. It may provide the facility assignment, institution contact, and projected release date when applicable. Time-computation questions can also go to 225-342-0799. The Avoyelles Parish released-inmate hub explains when a parish jail route is appropriate for a different person.

Raymond Laborde Release Contact

The institution’s main number is the proper place for facility-level questions, including confirmation that the correct prison is involved and routing to its records office. A statewide sentence calculation or complete DPS&C history should still go through department channels. Raymond Laborde cannot turn an Avoyelles Parish jail booking into a state-prison record, and APSO cannot certify the state calculation.

For a state record, provide the full name, DPS&C number, sentence information, and relevant date. Ask for the actual release or discharge date, release type, supervision start and end dates, and the named time-computation record when relevant. Louisiana R.S. 15:574.12 keeps much of the prison and pre-parole file confidential, but subsection G requires public release of specified information such as offense, conviction date, sentence length, and discharge date. A focused request is more accurate than demanding the entire inmate file.

If a calculation appears wrong, DPS&C states that each imprisoned person receives a Master Prison Record reflecting the sentence calculation. Disputes should go in writing to the assigned state facility Records Office. Recently sentenced cases may lack a date while the department waits for official sentencing-court paperwork. That delay can explain a temporary conflict between court minutes and the locator.

Raymond Laborde Prison History

The official Raymond Laborde page identifies the institution as an adult male state-felony facility. It opened in 1989 as Avoyelles Correctional Center. The official history gives an original design capacity of 610 and a later operational capacity of 1,564. Those are institutional figures, not current population or annual release counts.

The source capture preserves the prison’s current identity, address, phone, history, and mission. Review the DPS&C Raymond Laborde source for the official facility listing.

The very tall capture reflects the complete source page. Its state agency branding is another check that Raymond Laborde records do not belong in the parish-jail system.

Raymond Laborde Release Dates

Prospective release, parole eligibility, projected good-time supervision, full term, and actual release are separate dates. A projected date is a calculation based on the sentence, jail credit, offense-date law, statutory exclusions, earned credit, disciplinary forfeiture, consecutive or concurrent terms, detainers, and later court orders. It can change. Ask for the name of the calculation and its “as of” date.

Projected date

A current forecast that may move after recalculation or later events.

Parole eligibility

The date a qualifying person may be considered; it is not a grant or gate release.

Full-term date

The sentence endpoint before considering a separate sentence or legal obligation.

Actual release

The completed custody event recorded by DPS&C.

For eligible felony offenses committed on or after August 1, 2024, Louisiana R.S. 15:571.3.1 generally permits good time up to fifteen percent, with exclusions including defined sex offenses and habitual-offender sentences. Older offenses can use materially different rules. Parole law also changed for offenses on or after that date. Never apply a single percentage without the offense date, sentence category, and DPS&C computation.

A Committee on Parole grant is not the actual release timestamp. An approved plan, conditions, detainers, and administrative steps can intervene. Use the decision to understand the legal route, then verify the completed custody change in DPS&C records.

Avoyelles Prison Name Confusion

Raymond Laborde’s former name, Avoyelles Correctional Center, creates a local identity trap. It sounds like a parish detention center even though it is a state prison. Cottonport also has DC-3, the APSO women’s detention center, and a separately listed women’s transitional work program. Shared geography does not create shared record custody.

The old name may appear in court papers, family notes, or older news. Search both names when identifying the institution, but send the release question to DPS&C. DC-3 release records belong to APSO. Transitional work activity remains custody until the operator or DPS&C records completion or discharge. Clear naming prevents an APSO roster search from being mistaken for statewide prison history.

Louisiana R.S. 15:714 also gives the confined or formerly confined person a route to request a letter showing incarceration dates, admit date, release date, and last location. The institution must issue it no later than seven days after receiving a qualifying request. This is a personal statutory right, not an open public database.

Travel After Raymond Laborde Release

DPS&C states that the nearest named intercity public transportation is Greyhound in Alexandria, roughly thirty miles from the Cottonport prison. The official page does not promise a ride or shuttle from Raymond Laborde to that station. Families and approved contacts should confirm the actual release date, pickup rules, and transportation plan with the facility before starting a trip.

Distance makes a projected date especially poor travel proof. A detainer, recalculation, processing step, or transfer can change the expected outcome. Confirm both the date and whether the person is leaving for the community. A prison transfer may use institutional transport and should not trigger a family pickup plan.

Note: The official transportation reference identifies the nearest service, but it does not establish that releasing people are transported to Alexandria.

Confirm Raymond Laborde Discharge

Read the statewide LAVNS result first, then verify the exact event with DPS&C. Separate actual release from a future date, parole consideration, supervision, or transfer. Keep the status wording and effective date, and request the public discharge fields when online visibility is incomplete. That evidence answers whether prison custody ended and what correctional status followed.
