Many misdemeanors and traffic cases inside Shreveport go to Shreveport City Court on a summons instead of to the jail. In that case nobody is booked, but skipping the Shreveport court date brings a warrant.

For anyone held, within 72 hours of arrest under Article 230.1, leaving out weekends and holidays. That judge, from the 1st Judicial District, rules on bail and appoints counsel. Without a timely hearing, release on recognizance follows.

A 1st district judge weighs offense, history and risk. Cash, property, signature bonds and licensed bondsmen (12 percent cap) are accepted. See our Caddo bail guide. Bond records: Clerk of Court, Room 103, 501 Texas Street, Shreveport, LA 71101, 318-226-6780, weekdays 8:30 to 5.

The sheriff's fines and bonds division keeps every bond posted at Caddo Correctional Center and collects 1st Judicial District court fees, Caddo probation fees, and sheriff and State Police traffic citations. It is at 501 Texas Street, Room 101, Shreveport, open weekdays 8:30 to 4:30, 318-681-0622. The division takes cashier's checks or money orders payable to the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office, with the court or citation number, and personal checks are refused. Fees can also be paid online, but payments made after 5 p.m., on weekends or on holidays post the next business day.

• Wednesdays only: cell confinement, youthful offenders and sick bay (sick bay visits must be scheduled ahead).

Remote video visits from home run daily during normal visiting hours with no daily limit, once you open an account with the provider at 318-746-1114. Recording or posting a video visit, or any nudity or illegal activity, gets a visitor banned. Our visiting guide has general tips.
