The Plaquemines Parish Jail is a detention center located at 16801 Hwy 15 Davant, LA which is operated locally by the Plaquemines 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. Plaquemines Parish Parish accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Davant 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.
The Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office Correctional Center, located in Davant, Louisiana, is an advanced 800+ bed facility under the leadership of Warden Denise Narcisse, a dedicated member of the Sheriff’s Office since 1994. Opened on February 11, 2015, the center was designed with safety and resilience in mind, constructed 18 feet above ground within the federal hurricane protection levee system to mitigate risks from natural disasters in this vulnerable region.
This modern correctional facility offers a range of services and programs aimed at inmate rehabilitation and community benefit. Inmate Labor Crews, composed of trustees housed at the center, partner with non-profit organizations across Plaquemines Parish. These crews perform essential community services while providing inmates with opportunities to develop job skills and accountability. Select inmates, based on good behavior and cooperation, can participate in community service programs, which not only benefit local organizations but may also lead to sentence reductions, incentivizing positive conduct.
To facilitate communication with family and friends, the Parish Jail operates an outgoing phone program. While traditional collect calls can be costly, families can set up prepaid accounts through third-party services, which may include additional fees. Discounts are available for frequent callers. It’s important to note that all calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters is discouraged. You might qualify for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. Additionally, personal letters and selfies can be sent through an app for a starting fee of $8.00.
The facility has updated its policies regarding inmate reading materials. As of August 1, 2020, newspapers are no longer accepted, and books and magazines must be ordered through the commissary on a monthly basis. This streamlined approach enhances security while ensuring inmates have access to approved materials.
The Plaquemines Parish Correctional Center exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to corrections, balancing safety, community engagement, and opportunities for rehabilitation under the experienced stewardship of Warden Narcisse.
