St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program Inmate Search

St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program Overview

The St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program is listed by Louisiana DPS&C and described by the sheriff's jail page as a program that gives people with criminal records an opportunity to return to the workforce while helping employers find skilled, dependable workers. The program is associated with the same Centerville correctional complex as the Law Enforcement Center, but it should not be treated like a normal public jail roster page because the research did not locate a dedicated TWP inmate list.

DPS&C lists St. Mary Parish TWP with phone 337-836-5520, fax 337-836-3374, address 9311 Highway 90 West South Frontage, Centerville, LA 70522, and Director Lt. Kevin Toups. The DPS&C facility directory also uses the name St. Mary Law Enforcement Center Transitional Work Program and gives 9311 Highway 90 East, Centerville, LA 70522. Because official sources differ on east and west frontage wording, the safest public-facing approach is to call before travel or mail.

The DPS&C St. Mary Parish location page is the best matching image source for this program because it lists the parish's local correctional and program contacts.

The screenshot connects the TWP page to the state-local custody framework, which matters when a participant is sentenced under DPS&C but housed or working through a local St. Mary program.

St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program Capacity and Population

No official TWP capacity or current participant count was located in the inspected sheriff or DPS&C sources. That absence should be preserved. The Law Enforcement Center has a published 320-inmate capacity, but that number belongs to the main jail page and should not be copied onto this work-program page as a TWP capacity.

Participants may be local or DOC-linked depending on sentence status and program assignment. A family member or employer should avoid assuming that someone is in the TWP simply because they were sentenced locally, because Louisiana law allows DPS&C to transfer people among facilities based on treatment, training, and security needs.

How to Look Up Someone in the St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program

Start with the custody system that fits the person's stage. If the person was recently arrested or booked in parish custody, use the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's roster and the jail information system at 337-836-9509. If the person has been sentenced to DPS&C custody or assigned through a state-local program, use Louisiana DPS&C/LAVNS or the DPS&C phone locator at 225-383-4580 with the person's DPS&C number or name and date of birth.

1. Check the sheriff current roster and 48-hour release view for a recent parish booking or transfer clue.
2. Use DPS&C/LAVNS if the person is sentenced, assigned to DOC custody, or no longer appears on the sheriff roster.
3. Call 337-836-5520 for work-program or employer questions tied to the St. Mary Parish TWP.
4. Use court records and the clerk's office for formal case outcomes, because the roster does not replace a court docket.

St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program Address and Contact

The TWP has a direct phone number for program and employer questions. The sheriff's jail page specifically invites businesses to call 337-836-5520 and notes that tax credits may be available for hiring qualified offenders. Family members should still confirm custody status through the sheriff or DPS&C lookup channels because program eligibility and housing assignment can change.

Visiting Someone in the St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program

No separate public TWP visitation schedule was found. Work programs can involve job schedules, program movement, employer coordination, and DOC or sheriff custody rules, so assumptions based on ordinary jail visitation can lead to a wasted trip. Call 337-836-5520 for program-specific direction, and use the jail information system at 337-836-9509 when the person is still tied to the main Law Enforcement Center housing process.

Mail, Phone, and Money for TWP Participants

The inspected local sources did not publish a TWP-specific mail format, commissary vendor, deposit fee schedule, or participant phone provider. If the person is still held under the Law Enforcement Center, the jail information system is the best local source. If the person is in DPS&C custody after transfer, state prison communication and money rules may involve Securus, JPay, MoneyGram, or state-facility kiosks, but those methods should not be used for a St. Mary TWP participant unless the facility confirms the correct channel.

Program Assignment, Booking, and Records Follow-Up

The TWP is best understood as a custody-program assignment rather than a first booking destination. A person may first move through arrest, booking, court, sentencing, classification, or DOC assignment before a work-program placement becomes relevant. Louisiana R.S. 15:824 recognizes that people sentenced to state adult correctional custody are committed to DPS&C rather than to a particular institution, and that state prisoners may be housed in parish jails under state-local arrangements. That is why the sheriff roster, DPS&C/LAVNS, and direct TWP line may all matter for one person.

For formal court records after arrest, use the St. Mary Parish Clerk of Court or court case channels rather than the TWP contact line. For sheriff incident or crime reports, the sheriff FAQ points to the Franklin and Morgan City sheriff offices and lists a $5 report fee. For custody notifications, Louisiana VINE/LAVNS is the statewide channel documented in the research.

About the St. Mary Parish Transitional Work Program

The strongest official detail about the program is its reentry purpose. The sheriff's jail page says the Transitional Work Program helps participants reestablish their lives in the community and gives businesses access to workers who are motivated to succeed. Employers are invited to call 337-836-5520, and the sheriff page notes that tax credits may be available for hiring qualified offenders.

That employer-facing detail separates this page from the main jail page. Families are usually trying to confirm custody and communication rules, while employers may need program participation, schedule, and hiring details. Both audiences should avoid using the work-program phone as a substitute for court records, bond questions, or legal advice.
