Average Inmate Population

The unsentenced offender population has increased steadily for the

past decade. We only hold offenders that are arrested in the parish.

Due to space limitations 300-400 DOC offenders, who are locally

arrested offenders, are still sent to other parish jails.

Transitional Work Program

The LPSO Work Release program moved to the 410 Vermillion site in

2005, the former motel is owned and operated by the Sheriff’s

Office. It has the capacity of housing 208 offenders.

The Work Release program will be moved to the Willow Street

Complex once completed. The future of this site, which also houses

evidence and crime scene, has yet to be determined.

planning and management has put the agency in a position to

build the complex without having to ask the residence of the parish

to approve additional taxes.

offenders come and go to civilian jobs everyday, pay for their own

housing and transportation costs, while earning money to support

their families.

meeting rooms will be available for community use.
