Citizen Praises Sheriff's Innovative Programs
Dear Sheriff Neustrom:
Just so you know that I do write complimentary letters in addition to those that criticize, please accept my praise for some of your innovative programs that have been recently highlighted in the media. The programs I speak of are the direct supervision of prisoners approach; the off-site telecommunication visitation for families of prisoners; the call program for the elderly; and the day reporting programs for some offenders. All of these programs show your very humanistic approach to corrections and the general human condition. You are a different kind of sheriff from the standard old Louisiana model, and it has taken some adjustment by the jaded downtown crowd (myself included) to see the wisdom of your ways. Anyway, thank you for your innovative programs, and I am always available with an opinion. I don't lack opinions.
With kind regards, I remain Very truly yours, Albert M. Karre', Jr.

ReHAB Triples Enrollment

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

When the ReHAB Program under the Corrections Division began in October 2008, it had eight clients. Today that number has tripled and now the program serves 24 with the potential for increasing to 36 clients.

ReHAB is a six month residential substance abuse program offered to inmates at the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. The program provides clients with the skills to remain abstinent from alcohol and drugs, handle life's stressors, gain and maintain employment, and transition into the community. Inmates are housed at the Work Release Center and attend treatment at the Community Corrections Center.
