Madison Parish Work Release Facility 158 Treatment Plant Road Tallulah, LA 71282. Contact Number: (318) 574-0584. Visits must be scheduled in advance, anytime between 8:15 am to 4:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday. It has the capability of housing both petty offenders and high-risk violent inmates. Prisoners at the facility have access to different treatment and restoration programs, including substance misuse programs and educational programs.

The Transitional Work Program (TWP) offers certain eligible offenders the opportunity to participate from six months to four years prior to their release from incarceration, depending on the nature of their conviction.

Sex offenders are generally not allowed to participate in the TWP. Approved participants in the program are required to work at an approved job and return to the structured environment of the assigned facility when not working. Probation and Parole Officers oversee the program, conducting random drug screenings and facility inspections. They also form part of the Auditing Teams responsible for conducting annual audits of TWP facilities.

The TWP has proven successful in helping offenders transition from prison back into the workforce. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of participants remain employed by their TWP employer upon release. It is also a valuable alternative for technical parole violators, providing an alternative to returning them to prison.
