History of Spring Ridge

For a period, Spring Ridge was home to a significant facility. From 1971, a large building in Spring Ridge served as the Caddo Correctional Institute. This facility was used for community services and public safety.

In 1995, the original facility in Spring Ridge was closed. A new, more modern center, called the Caddo Correctional Center, was opened in Shreveport, Louisiana, on Forum Drive. This new center continued to serve the community's needs, taking over from the older location in Spring Ridge.
