The Madison Parish Correctional is a detention center located at 158 Treatment Plant Rd Tallulah, LA which is operated locally by the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Madison Parish Parish accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Tallulah Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

Individuals unable to post bail within the first 24 hours must appear before a judge, where charges are formally presented, and bond is set. Upon arrival, detainees undergo intake procedures, including property inventory, medical screening, and booking. They are then assigned housing based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, ensuring effective management and security. Good behavior may lead to lower classifications and additional privileges, while infractions result in stricter classifications and fewer liberties. Inmates serving as trustees assist with facility tasks such as food preparation, laundry, and commissary, earning minimal compensation or sentence reductions for their efforts.

The facility is designed with "pods," which include individual cells, a common area with sturdy tables and seats, and access to an enclosed outdoor recreation space. Inmates spend designated times in their cells and communal areas, engaging in activities such as reading, playing games, or watching television. Movement beyond the pod, including visits to the commissary, library, or recreation area, is conducted under constant supervision by unarmed correctional officers. The jail environment is generally less stressful than that of a state prison, as sentences are typically shorter.

The Parish Jail offers a phone program for outgoing calls only. While collect calls can be costly, families may set up prepaid accounts through third-party services, which often include additional fees. You might qualify for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. All calls are recorded, so discussing sensitive legal matters is discouraged. Inmates may also receive books and magazines directly from publishers to prevent contraband, and personal letters or selfies can be sent through an app starting at $8.00.

Weekly commissary services allow inmates to order essentials, with increased spending limits on holidays. Indigent inmates are provided with basic hygiene items, stamps, and writing materials at no cost.

Select inmates may participate in community service programs, contributing valuable labor while developing job skills and accountability. These opportunities are reserved for individuals demonstrating good behavior and cooperation with facility staff. Participation in such programs not only benefits the community but can also lead to sentence reductions, encouraging inmates to maintain positive conduct during their incarceration.

Managed by LaSalle Corrections, whose aim is to transform lives through the implementation of innovative, evidence-based inmate programs designed to support successful rehabilitation and reintegration into society. From the initial intake process to re-entry, LaSalle facilities offer a wide range of programs and services tailored to meet the needs of inmates while ensuring safety and security. Alongside standard amenities like recreational opportunities, telephone access, and commissary services, inmates have access to educational programs, vocational training, rehabilitative activities, and income-earning opportunities to support their personal and professional development.

Program Categories:

Accountability Planning: Individualized plans are developed with input from a panel of advisors, including law enforcement, correctional staff, and community partners. These plans assess the needs of inmates and prepare them for reintegration by addressing areas like education, skill development, and personal growth. The process begins with an intake assessment and continues with structured programming aimed at successful re-entry.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This program helps inmates identify and change detrimental thought patterns and behaviors. CBT addresses a wide range of issues, including substance abuse, mood disorders, and anxiety, by promoting healthier responses to challenging situations. These programs equip inmates with tools for better decision-making and improved mental health.

Family Reunification: Recognizing the importance of strong family support, this program fosters connections between inmates and their loved ones through visitation (in-person and virtual), counseling, parenting skills training, and child-focused services. By strengthening family bonds, this initiative reduces the risk of generational incarceration and supports emotional well-being.

Victim Awareness: Designed to enhance understanding of the effects of crime, this program helps inmates comprehend the consequences of their actions on victims and the broader community. Resources include facilitated discussions, victim panels, and multimedia materials that encourage empathy and accountability.

Workforce Development: Through work release programs and vocational training, inmates gain valuable skills that enhance their employability. Programs focus on marketable skills like GED preparation, technical certifications, computer training, and hands-on trades such as plumbing, welding, and electrical work. These opportunities prepare inmates for meaningful careers post-incarceration.

Specific Programs:

LaSalle facilities offer a variety of targeted programs, including but not limited to:

  • Educational and Vocational Training: GED preparation, literacy training, CDL courses, and trade skills such as carpentry, mechanical training, and computer-based certifications.
  • Substance Abuse Recovery: Both faith-based (Celebrate Recovery, Drawing Near) and secular (AA, NA, STAR) programs address addiction through counseling, CBT, and accountability planning.
  • Faith-Based Activities: Multi-denominational worship services, Bible study, offender choirs, and programs like Angel Tree Christmas Ministry support spiritual growth and moral development.
  • Rehabilitative Programs: Group counseling, offender-managed newsletters, and creative activities like reading groups and sport teams encourage personal expression and community engagement.
  • Workforce Integration: Programs such as resume training, job application workshops, and hands-on trades prepare inmates for life after release.

By fostering growth in these key areas, LaSalle Corrections provides inmates with the tools and support needed to lead successful lives post-incarceration, benefitting both the individuals and their communities.
