Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program Overview
The research identified the Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program through state/local corrections reporting rather than a detailed public LPSO facility page. The 2023 State and Local Corrections Facilities and Program Report listed "Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program (LAWF)," Assistant Warden Joel Arnold, at 28445 Charlie Watts Road, Livingston, LA 70754, phone 225-686-3315. It is connected to transitional work or work-release custody rather than ordinary arrest booking.
That distinction controls the lookup. A person assigned to the program may be a sentenced person moving through work release or reentry, not a new pretrial arrestee waiting for first court appearance. The normal Livingston Parish jail roster may still be useful, but the research did not confirm a separate public roster for the program. DPS&C and VINE may be needed when custody is tied to a state sentence.
Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program Capacity
Older WAFB/LPSO-groundbreaking coverage described work release as operating from one cell block inside the detention center and referenced maximum capacity for 75 inmates before a larger facility was proposed. The research does not treat that as a verified current capacity. No current official capacity, daily population, visiting schedule, or independent program roster was located in the reviewed public sources.
| Measure | Research Result | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Older program capacity | 75 in older coverage | Historical context only, not a current official count. |
| Current capacity | Not located | Call program or LPSO before relying on any number. |
| Separate roster | Not located | Use LPSO, DPS&C, and VINE lookup paths. |
Look Up Livingston Parish Transitional Work Custody
No separate public Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program roster was found. Start with LPSO when the person may still be locally listed, then check DPS&C and VINE when the person is sentenced or transferred. DPS&C's offender information page says the public may call 225-383-4580 with the person's DPS&C number or with name and date of birth. VINE/LAVINE monitors adult inmates in parish jails and state prisons and can send release or transfer notifications.
The lookup can be less direct than a normal jail search because work-release custody sits between incarceration and community reentry. A person may remain under custody rules while also having work or program movement. If the roster does not show the person, that does not prove release. It may mean the person is tracked through DPS&C, a program assignment, or another custody-notification source.
- Search the LPSO-linked jail roster for current local custody.
- Call the program number or detention center if the roster result is unclear.
- Use DPS&C offender information when the person is sentenced or state-assigned.
- Use Louisiana VINE for custody status and notifications.
- Use BOP or ICE only when the case is federal or immigration custody.
Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program Contact
The program uses the same Charlie Watts Road address listed for the detention center in the research, with a separate phone number in the state/local corrections report. Because the public facility detail is thinner than the jail page, callers should confirm whether the person is assigned there, which office can verify custody, and whether mail or visits follow detention-center rules.

Visit Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program
No separate public visitation schedule, visitor approval process, video-visit schedule, ID rule, or dress code was located for the Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program. The safest wording is to call before traveling and confirm whether any visit follows detention-center rules, program rules, employer/work-release restrictions, or DPS&C custody conditions. Work-release status can add movement and scheduling limits that do not apply to ordinary jail housing.
| Visit Item | Program Research Result |
|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not located in separate public program source. |
| Video visits | Not confirmed. |
| Visitor approval | Not located. |
| Work-release limits | Confirm by phone because program assignments may affect availability. |
| Parking and entry | Use facility confirmation before travel. |
Mail and Money for Transitional Work Custody
No separate mail, phone, deposit, or commissary rules were located for the Transitional Work Program. Use the detention center's published mail/account rules unless LPSO or the program states otherwise. That means regular inmate mail may be routed through JailATM scanning, while legal mail and transactional originals may use P.O. Box 1000 in Livingston. Confirm with the program before sending anything because work-release custody can have program-specific limits.
| Service | Likely Starting Point | Research Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Regular mail | Detention-center JailATM scanned-mail rules | No separate program mail page located. |
| Legal mail | P.O. Box 1000, Livingston, LA 70754 | Confirm current routing before sending. |
| Deposits/tablets | JailATM | No separate program fee schedule located. |
| Commissary | Forecomm Solutions | Program-specific order rules not located. |
| Phones | Correct Solutions Group | Program-specific pricing not located. |
Livingston Parish Work Release and Reentry
DPS&C's reentry material explains the broader purpose of transitional work: assessment, classification, case planning, community referrals, preparation for reentry, and reduced recidivism. The Livingston program should be described in that frame. It is for eligible sentenced people assigned to transitional employment programming, not a general public inmate intake center.
Work-release status does not remove the need to confirm custody rules. Employment movement, program schedules, approved contacts, and return times may be governed by the program or state/local custody authority. The public research did not locate rules for employer contact, wages, job-site movement, sanctions, or program discharge. Those details should be confirmed with LPSO, the program, or DPS&C before making plans around a participant's schedule.

About Livingston Parish Transitional Work Program
The program is best handled as a facility-level custody page because it appears in the Facility Map and has a listed address and phone, but it does not have the same public-detail depth as the main jail. That is why the page uses careful fallback language. For a new arrest, use the jail roster and detention center. For a sentenced person or program assignment, use LPSO, DPS&C, and VINE.
No state prison facility page was found in Livingston Parish, and no BOP or ICE detention facility was found in the parish. If a person has moved from local custody to a state institution, the state locator and VINE become more reliable than the parish roster. If the case is federal or immigration-related, BOP or ICE should be searched directly.
Note: Confirm assignment, mail routing, and visit rules with the program before traveling or sending funds.
