East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF) Inmate Search

East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF) Overview

East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF), also listed by Louisiana DPS&C as East Baton Rouge Parish Transitional Work Program, is a transitional work and reentry program connected to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison complex. The official DPS&C facility page gives the address as 2867 Brig. General Isaac Smith Ave., Scotlandville, LA 70807, with LA Workforce, LLC connected to the program. EBRSO describes work release as a program for eligible state-sentenced inmates who are expected to be released within 3 years.

The key distinction is custody type. This is not the primary parish jail for new arrests, City Court warrant holds, or pretrial booking questions. A person arrested today by a parish or municipal agency is ordinarily routed to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for booking and current-custody lookup. A person in the Transitional Work Program has generally moved into a state-sentenced reentry setting, so families and searchers should use Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections routes and then call the facility numbers for program-specific confirmation.

East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program Capacity and Population

No official capacity figure for East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF) was located in the research materials. The DPS&C facility detail page confirms the program listing, address, phone, and fax, and the DPS&C parish page lists East Baton Rouge TWP as a state-used local program. Because no sourced capacity or current population count was located, this page does not publish a bed count. The safest way to confirm whether a specific state-sentenced person is assigned there is to use the DPS&C locator phone route and call the program contact numbers.

How to Look Up an Inmate at East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF)

Use the Louisiana DPS&C imprisoned person locator information route for state-sentenced lookup. DPS&C says members of the public can call 225-383-4580 to be connected to the Imprisoned Person Locator. Callers should have either the person's DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth. The EBRSO roster can still be useful when the person is physically at East Baton Rouge Parish Prison or in a local status before transfer, but the primary route for this program is the state locator.

The official DPS&C detail page for East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF) identifies the program as a state corrections location in East Baton Rouge Parish.

That facility listing supports using DPS&C contacts for assignment confirmation rather than treating LAWF as a separate municipal or pretrial jail roster.

1. Call the DPS&C locator route at 225-383-4580 with the DPS&C number if known.
2. If the DPS&C number is not known, provide the person's name and date of birth.
3. Ask whether the person is assigned to East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF), another local program, or a state prison.
4. Call the program at the DPS&C-listed facility number for visitation, program contact, or mailing confirmation.
5. Use the EBRSO current inmate portal only if the question is whether the person is still in parish jail custody.

East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program Address and Contact

DPS&C lists the program at the same general Brig. General Isaac Smith Avenue address used for East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, but the program has separate phone details in state corrections materials. The DPS&C detail page lists (225) 248-6583 and fax (225) 248-6334. The DPS&C parish location page also lists East Baton Rouge TWP at (225) 248-6561. Because transitional work placements involve sentence status and program rules, call before mailing anything, traveling for a visit, or assuming the parish jail's pretrial procedures apply.

Visiting Someone at East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF)

The research did not locate a full LAWF-specific public visitation schedule. Because this is a transitional work program, do not apply ordinary parish jail video-visit instructions without confirming them with the program. State-sentenced reentry placements can have work schedules, approval rules, movement limits, and program restrictions that differ from pretrial jail visits. Start with the DPS&C facility page and the program phone numbers, then ask whether the person is approved for visits, whether visits are in person or video, and what identification or scheduling steps are required.

Mail, Phone, and Money at East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF)

The research did not locate a LAWF-specific mail rule, deposit-fee table, or public phone-services page separate from the broader East Baton Rouge custody materials. That gap should not be filled with assumptions. People in a transitional work program may have program-specific rules for work schedules, property, deposits, phone access, and approved contacts. Use the DPS&C facility contact numbers before sending mail, books, photographs, money orders, or deposits. If the person is actually still listed in the EBRSO parish jail roster, call EBRSO Inmate Accounts at (225) 358-4076 before depositing money.

Program Intake at East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF)

Intake for LAWF should be described as state-sentence placement and reentry classification, not street-arrest booking. After conviction and sentencing to state custody, a person may remain temporarily in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison while waiting for DPS&C placement, then move to a state prison, local contract bed, or transitional work program depending on sentence status and classification. EBRSO says its work-release program provides job opportunities for eligible state-sentenced inmates expected to be released within 3 years, which places this facility in the reentry category rather than the ordinary jail intake category.

If the person was just arrested in East Baton Rouge Parish, search the EBRSO current inmate portal and call the parish jail information line first. If the person was already sentenced and assigned to a work program, use DPS&C and VINELink. The difference prevents a common mistake: looking for a sentenced reentry participant in a pretrial booking roster or looking for a newly arrested person in a state-sentence program list.

About East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF)

East Baton Rouge Transitional Work Program (LAWF) sits at the intersection of local custody, state sentencing, and reentry. DPS&C lists the program as a corrections location, while EBRSO's corrections materials describe work release through LA Workforce, LLC for eligible state-sentenced inmates near release. The facility shares the same broad correctional address area as East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, which can confuse searchers. The better way to separate the systems is by legal status: pretrial and fresh booking questions start with EBRSO, while state-sentenced transitional placement questions start with DPS&C.

For notification rather than a one-time lookup, Louisiana VINELink can help when a participating agency reports custody changes. For the broader parish jail complex and records requests, use the EBRSO Corrections Division and EBRSO Public Records Center routes. Those EBRSO routes should not replace DPS&C for long-term state assignment, but they can help when the person is still physically tied to the parish prison complex.
