Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program Overview
The Louisiana DPS&C Terrebonne Parish listing identifies the program as Terrebonne Parish TWP (NC) at 3181 Grand Caillou Road in Houma. The facility is listed with a phone number of (985) 917-5253 and fax of (985) 917-5256. TPSO's divisions information says the Corrections Division maintains the Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program, and the research treats it as a structured work-release or transitional placement for eligible sentenced people.
The program is not the same as the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex. TPCJC is the primary adult booking and jail site, while the TWP is a placement after custody status has moved beyond ordinary arrest intake. A person may begin in the parish jail, later qualify for a work-release style program, and still have state custody or local jail records connected to that placement. That is why the lookup path for the Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program must cover both TPSO and Louisiana DOC/LAVNS channels.
The DOC Terrebonne Parish local facilities screenshot shows the TWP listed with the local jail and Annex, which supports the local-program status used for this page.
The listing helps distinguish the TWP from a state prison while still connecting it to Louisiana corrections custody pathways.
Search Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program Custody
A TWP lookup depends on the person's status. If the person is still shown in local sheriff custody, start with the TPSO/CentralSquare current incarcerations portal. If the person has been assigned to state custody, transferred after sentencing, or moved under DPS&C supervision, use Louisiana DOC guidance and LAVNS or VINELink. The Louisiana DOC offender information page says LAVNS is updated every 24 hours and supports search by location, name, and ID or case number.
- Search the TPSO current-incarcerations roster first when local custody is still possible.
- Look for held-for-agency or location clues that separate local jail custody from a program placement.
- Use LAVNS or VINELink when the person has been sentenced or assigned to DPS&C custody.
- Use the TWP phone number for program-location questions that are not answered by the public tools.
- Check BOP or ICE only when federal or immigration custody is possible.
| Lookup Need | Best First Channel | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Current local sheriff custody | TPSO/CentralSquare roster | Public route for Terrebonne adult jail custody. |
| Sentenced state custody | Louisiana DOC / LAVNS | DOC says LAVNS covers DPS&C custody and supervision. |
| Status notifications | VINELink / LAVNS | Useful for custody or release alerts. |
| Program-specific confirmation | TWP phone line | Public pages did not publish a separate program roster. |
Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program Contact
The TWP address is close to the Grand Caillou jail address but is a separate listing. Use the program phone line for questions about program custody, but use the adult jail line for ordinary booking and TPCJC custody questions. The research did not locate public employer rules, application forms, resident schedules, or approval criteria. Those missing details should not be filled in from another parish or from generic work-release assumptions.
Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program (TWP)
3181 Grand Caillou Road
Houma, LA 70361
(985) 917-5253
Fax per DOC: (985) 917-5256
Location matters here. The TWP is near the main jail area, while the Annex and court ecosystem are around Main Street. If the task is a court-date, charge, or certified-record question, the TWP is unlikely to be the correct first office. If the task is a custody-status question after sentencing, LAVNS may answer more than the local roster.
Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program Capacity
No official public TWP capacity, current population count, employer-slot count, resident list, or average daily population was located. Vera's Terrebonne Parish material gives 836 combined local jail and prison capacity across four facilities, but that figure is not a TWP capacity. Prison Policy Initiative lists 635 for Terrebonne Parish Jail, which is best tied to the main jail capacity source. Do not treat either figure as the number of people in the Transitional Work Program.
Published data limit: The research supports the TWP address, phone, operator relationship, and program type, but not a separate capacity or current count.
That data limit also affects records language. A public roster result may show a person in sheriff custody, but it may not identify all work-release placement details. Louisiana DOC and LAVNS are needed when the person is in DPS&C custody or supervision. Federal and immigration locators are separate fallback tools and should not be used unless those systems are plausible.
Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program Visits
No official TWP family visitation table, work schedule, check-in window, dress code, or resident movement rule was found in the inspected pages. Adult sheriff communication details identify City Tele Coin for video visitation, messaging, and telephone service for people currently incarcerated. Attorney visitation rules are published by TPSO for attorney access, but those rules should not be recast as a TWP visitor calendar. Work-release style programs can have movement and employment controls that are not visible in a public jail roster.
| Channel | Published Detail | TWP Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Program family visits | No TWP-specific schedule found | Call before planning travel. |
| Video visitation | City Tele Coin listed for adult jail communication | Confirm eligibility for the program resident. |
| Phone communication | City Tele Coin phone communication number 1-318-746-1114 | Use after confirming current custody. |
| Attorney visitation | TPSO attorney schedule published for jail attorney visits | Not a general TWP visitor rule. |
The TPSO attorney visitation screenshot provides the only located detailed visitation schedule, with meal-time exclusions and a 9 PM exit rule for attorneys.
It is useful as an official sheriff visitation reference, but not as proof of family or program visit hours at the TWP.
Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program Mail and Money
No TWP-specific public mail-processing address, money-deposit account rule, commissary schedule, resident pay-deduction rule, or employer payment policy was located. TPSO inmate services publishes adult jail instructions for inmate/legal mail, money orders, TouchPay, kiosks, property pickup, and City Tele Coin. Those instructions should be used only after confirming that they apply to the person and custody status. Program participants may have rules that differ from ordinary jail housing, and the official pages did not provide enough detail to state them.
| Service | Documented Source | How to Use It for TWP |
|---|---|---|
| TPSO adult jail mail-processing address | Verify whether it applies to the TWP resident before mailing. | |
| Money orders | JJLCJC/TPCJC Grand Caillou instruction | Do not assume the same process without confirmation. |
| Deposits | TouchPay facility #270360 and kiosks | Use only for eligible adult jail accounts. |
| Program wages or employer rules | No official detail found | Do not invent eligibility, deductions, or employer approval steps. |
Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program Records
TWP records can sit between local sheriff custody and state corrections custody. TPSO records may handle sheriff documents, but Louisiana DOC and LAVNS are the correct path when a person is assigned to DPS&C custody or supervision. The DOC offender-information page says LAVNS includes people in prison and people under probation or parole community supervision. VINELink can also be used for notifications. If a person disappears from the Terrebonne Parish roster after sentencing or transfer, do not assume release until LAVNS and other relevant locators have been checked.
For court records, use the court and clerk channels. A work-release placement does not answer whether a charge was filed, amended, reduced, or disposed. Pending prosecution files, sealed records, expunged records, juvenile files, medical material, and confidential law-enforcement records may be restricted under Louisiana public-record rules. A program confirmation is not a certified court record.
Note: Treat the TWP as program custody and confirm whether TPSO or DOC/LAVNS is the correct lookup channel.
