At the West Baton Rouge Transitional Work Facility, inmates with good behavior have access to traditional jobs in the public sector during the day. The program offers varying degrees of freedom, some even allowing prisoners to work during the week and return home, serving their sentences on only weekends. Depending on the terms (which change from time to time), inmates may reside in a halfway house or under home confinement when not working. As they near their release date, residents may transition to reintegration programs, with potential offers of full-time employment upon full release.
Work release program initiatives have proven benefits, including increased employment opportunities post-release, accelerated job acquisition, higher post-release earnings, and reduced recidivism rates among participants. West Baton Rouge Work Facility is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.
The West Baton Rouge Transitional Work Facility, established in 1995, provides a structured environment for up to 262 inmates preparing to re-enter the workforce. This facility is designed for inmates eligible to participate in the Transitional Work Program, which helps bridge the gap between incarceration and reintegration into society through employment.
Eligibility
To qualify for the program, inmates must be within six months to four years of their release date, depending on the nature of their conviction. Participants are required to work at approved jobs during the day and return to the facility when not on the job. This arrangement offers a disciplined transition from prison to community life. The program is also a valuable alternative for addressing technical parole violations, often preventing a return to full incarceration.
Program Success
The Transitional Work Program is a proven method for easing the transition from incarceration back into society. Approximately 10-20% of participants remain with their employers after release, highlighting its role in fostering stability and economic independence.
Opportunities for Employers
Employers can benefit from a skilled and certified workforce through the program. For businesses interested in supplementing their teams with Transitional Work personnel, the Job Placement Coordinator is available to provide assistance and information. This partnership not only supports local industries but also helps offenders build job skills and prepare for successful reintegration into their communities.
