Due to confidentiality, release of medical/mental health information is strictly governed by regulation. If you are inquiring about a specific person, and are not authorized by regulation to access this information, appropriate release of information forms must be on file and then only authorized staff members may discuss this information with you.

If a person in prison’s release date has been calculated, you can contact our main office at 318.574.1447 with the imprisoned person’s name and either his/her date of birth or DPS&C number to find out his/her release date, facility, or P&P District Office to which he/she is assigned and contact information for those locations. If there is no date available on this system, the time calculation has not been completed yet and callers are encouraged to call again later. This system is automatically updated and will have the information as soon as it is available.
