Outreach Program
The outreach program continues to grow throughout the parish. Inmate work crews help set up and clean up after many community fairs and events throughout the parish. The inmate litter abatement program picks up litter along streets and highways, boat launches, and parks throughout the parish. During hurricane season and storm events inmate workers fill sand bags for the parish and its residents and assist in storm recovery by picking up debris and trash.
Worker Program
The inmate worker program's three main benefits are that the program:
- Exposes inmates to new skills
- Limits inmate idle time
- Saves taxpayer and parish money by providing needed services
Inmates also assist with building maintenance at the correctional center providing electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning work in addition to helping within our vehicle maintenance shop and our grounds keeping. The kitchen staff, which includes about 40 inmates, prepares about 700 meals daily, and inmates are assigned to launder uniforms and bed linens daily for the entire facility.
