State of Louisiana:

The Louisiana Department of Corrections handles incarcerations for a state with the highest per capita incarceration rate in the United States, which means its incarceration rate is higher than anywhere else in the world.   The reasons for these high incarceration rates are complex.  As with other states, drug offenders are overrepresented in the prison population.  However, drug offenders are only part of the reasons that Louisiana prisons are overcrowded.  Since the end of slavery, many Louisiana prisons have been run as plantations, with inmates supplying the labor that slaves once would have provided.  In fact, Louisiana has a for-profit prison system that means that when incarceration rates fall, so do profits for the state and the intermediaries in charge of the prison population. As one might expect, this reduces the incentive for meaningful rehabilitation within the prison system. 

The most famous of all the prisons in Louisiana is the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.  Angola is the largest maximum security prison in the United States and is known for the harsh living conditions experienced by its inmates.  Inmates work, primarily as farm labor, the whole day.  However, while Angola is extremely strict, its inmates also produce the only inmate-produced newspaper in the entire United States.  It also has the Angola Rodeo, a world-famous rodeo with inmate participants.  Inmates are also subjected to a significant amount of religious programming in the prison system. 

For more specific information about other Louisiana prisons, JailData’s prison information pages can provide details about the living conditions, visitation information, and mail rules for each prison in the Louisiana system.

Visiting information for inmates varies by facility, but all facilities have the same general visitation rules and procedures to be put on a visitation list.  Information on phone calls and depositing money to inmate accounts is the same at all facilities.  Louisiana’s offender locator service is not online, but can be accessed by calling 225-383-4580.
