School System Appreciates Inmate Worker Program
Dear Sheriff Neustrom:
The inmates along with Deputy Jon Fremin and Deputy John O'Neal have worked very hard at painting the Lafayette Parish Vermilion Conference Center. At the Conference Center we have 21 offices and 5 conference rooms, all of which were painted by the inmates and supervised by the Deputies. We would like to thank you for allowing these hard working inmates and Deputies to come here and do such a wonderful job for the Lafayette Parish School System. The supervisors and inmates were very courteous and thoughtful in all their work and actions. It really speaks highly of our Sheriff and everyone in his department. Thank you again for helping fulfill a need in our parish. Sincerely, Gary Meade, Staff Development Strategist & Burnell Lemoine, Deputy Superintendant and Chief Academic Officer Lafayette Parish School System

Corrections

The mission of the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center is to enhance its contribution to the protection of society by safely housing and reintegrating offenders as law-abiding citizens through the use of institutional structure and appropriate programming.

LPCC processes approximately 12,000 arestees each year, providing the city and other local municipalities with booking, identification and inmate housing services. LPCC's rated bed capacity is 814. The average number of inmates housed in LPCC during 2005 was 770.

LPCC is a small city within Lafayette Parish. The facility houses a full service kitchen, laundry facilities, GED services, job-seeking education, counseling services, religious services, recreation, social visiting, commissary, library, and mail distribution. LPCC also facilitates several work crews that provide services within the community.

Due to the constant operation of LPCC, staffing and maintenance are important components leading to its proper management.
