The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office manages the staffing and operations of the Terrebonne Parish Jail, currently accommodating over 700 inmates. This responsibility encompasses transportation, trustee oversight, and management of Release and Recon programs. The jail itself is a modern facility, meticulously designed under the guidance of the Sheriff.

Renowned for its exceptional prisoner work program, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office oversees inmates engaging in various community tasks, from school painting to tunnel cleaning and maintaining local parks and roadways. Additionally, the Annex Jail situated on the third floor of the Courthouse Annex serves as a housing facility for inmates in trustee status and functions as a temporary holding area for individuals awaiting trial.

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.

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.
