PARISH PRISON

PRISON PROGRAMS

The sheriff operates a Transitional Work Program and a Trustee Work Program with D.O.C. offenders. In addition the sheriff, through partnership with DOC, offers multiple other programs to the offenders.  Some of those programs are Hi-set (GED), Discipleship Training, and Re-Entry Programming.

TRANSITIONAL WORK PROGRAM

Transitional Work Program Offenders (formerly known as Work Release) allows offenders to work for employers prior to release from prison. This program allows offenders to be released from prison with some money and prepares for a smooth transition back into society. These offenders are all D.O.C. and approved specifically by D.O.C.

THE TRUSTEE PROGRAM

DOC offenders who meet the requirements are assigned to the Trustee Program to perform important tasks such as janitorial services for parish owned buildings, cleaning, laundry, maintenance issues at the Parish Prison, and servicing vehicles owned by the Sheriff and Police Jury.
