Caddo Transitional Work Program Overview
Caddo Transitional Work Program is listed by Louisiana DPS&C as a separate Caddo Parish local jail program at 1125 Forum Drive in Shreveport. The research identifies it as a transitional work or work-release program operated through the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office and local jail programming, rather than a state-run prison. The population served is narrower than the regular jail population: eligible people connected to Caddo custody who may be approved for work-release or transitional-work placement.
The program warrants its own facility page because the DPS&C Caddo Parish location page lists it separately from Caddo Correctional Center, with its own phone and fax number. Sheriff history also describes a dedicated work-release building. A sheriff release about the facility states that Caddo's work-release program began in 2004 and that a new work-release building later provided 19,577 square feet of program space at a cost of about $4 million. The 2024-2025 sheriff annual report adds that the Transitional Work Release Program was relaunched, giving eligible inmates at CCC a new work opportunity.
The DPS&C Caddo Parish location page is the cleanest official source showing the program as a distinct Caddo facility listing: DPS&C Caddo Parish locations.
That listing is important because it separates the work program from ordinary CCC housing, while still placing it within the local Caddo detention pathway rather than a statewide prison locator alone.
Caddo Transitional Work Program Capacity and Population
No official source in the research published a separate current population count or rated bed capacity for Caddo Transitional Work Program. The facility map notes that the Caddo annual financial/reporting materials describe a separate work release facility, and the sheriff's historical work-release release describes a 19,577-square-foot building, but those facts are not the same thing as a current headcount or capacity number. The broader Caddo jail population figures in the Criminal Justice Task Force report apply to Caddo Correctional Center as the main jail, not to a standalone TWP count.
Because this is a program placement, eligibility and location can change more quickly than a simple jail roster label suggests. A person may appear in the sheriff custody system without the public roster proving work-release placement. Conversely, a direct program call may be needed to confirm whether someone is actually assigned there, has been returned to regular CCC housing, has been released, or has moved into a state-custody channel after sentencing.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Caddo Transitional Work Program
No separate online Caddo Transitional Work Program roster was found in the official research. The correct lookup path is therefore a fallback chain, not a single program-specific search box. Start with the Caddo sheriff current inmate listing because people in the work program are connected to the Caddo local detention system. If the roster does not confirm placement, call the program directly or call CCC. For a person who has been sentenced into Louisiana state custody, use LAVNS/DPS&C instead of assuming the parish roster still controls.
- Search the Caddo sheriff current inmate roster for the person by name or available booking information.
- Check whether the visible record confirms current Caddo custody, charges, bond, release status, or a booking-history item.
- Call Caddo Transitional Work Program at (318) 841-0480 when the question is specifically about work-release placement.
- Use LAVNS/DPS&C, BOP, or ICE lookup channels when the person has moved out of local Caddo custody.
Work-release status should not be inferred only from the absence of a name on a web page. The research did not locate a separate program roster, a public eligibility list, a work-site list, or a daily movement log. That means program confirmation should come from the facility, CCC, or the agency that created the custody record.
Caddo Transitional Work Program Address and Contact
The DPS&C location listing gives the work program a separate Forum Drive address, phone, and fax. Use that number for questions about whether a person is assigned to the program, whether visitation or program contact is allowed, and what mail or deposit channel applies. Use CCC or the sheriff main line when the question is about ordinary jail booking, jail records, charges, bond, or a public-records request.

Visiting Someone at Caddo Transitional Work Program
The research did not locate a program-specific visitation schedule for Caddo Transitional Work Program. That gap should be kept visible because a work-release placement is not always governed by the same visiting pattern as regular jail housing, and the person's work schedule or classification may affect contact. The broader sheriff detention navigation includes visitation rules and schedule links for the detention system, while official examples show that visitation can be suspended or changed during health, weather, renovation, lockdown, or facility events.
| Question | Known Detail | Best Route |
|---|---|---|
| Is there a posted TWP schedule? | No separate schedule was located in the official static research. | Call (318) 841-0480 before traveling. |
| Does CCC visitation apply? | The program is connected to Caddo detention, but TWP-specific rules were not published in the captured sources. | Confirm with TWP or CCC. |
| Can work status change visiting times? | Eligibility and work placement can affect availability. | Ask for the current program rule, not only the jail-wide rule. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Caddo Transitional Work Program
CorrectPay lists both Caddo Parish Non-TWP and Caddo Parish TWP, which supports treating deposits for TWP as a distinct facility choice when using the vendor. CorrectPay's public materials identify online, lobby kiosk, toll-free phone, and money-order deposit options, but the research did not locate a complete Caddo TWP fee schedule or commissary calendar. The safest rule is to select the TWP facility option only after confirming the person's current assignment and SO number.
The general CCC inmate mail address found in the sheriff navigation uses the inmate name and SO number at PO Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. The research did not prove that every work-release mail item must use the same address in every circumstance. Because work-release participants may have different movement, employment, and classification rules, confirm the current mail format with TWP before sending packages, photos, money orders, or anything time-sensitive.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | General CCC mail source uses Inmate Name, SO#; PO Box 16120; Jonesboro, AR 72401. Confirm TWP application before mailing. |
| Phone / Video | No TWP-specific phone or video vendor schedule was located in official research. |
| Money Deposit | CorrectPay includes a Caddo Parish TWP facility option, plus website, kiosk, toll-free phone 855-836-3364, and money-order routes. |
Placement and Intake at Caddo Transitional Work Program
Work-release intake is different from street-arrest booking. A new arrest is booked into a jail or police station under Louisiana booking rules before any later program placement can be considered. For Caddo, the ordinary path starts with Shreveport City Jail for some municipal arrests or Caddo Correctional Center for parish custody, depending on the agency and stage. The work program comes later for eligible people connected to the Caddo detention system.
That timing affects searches. A person newly arrested in Caddo Parish is more likely to appear first in a city booking report or the CCC current inmate roster than in any work-release context. A person already sentenced or classified for work release may require a program phone call because the public roster was not documented as a placement-verification tool. If the person has moved into Louisiana DPS&C custody after sentencing, LAVNS and the DPS&C phone locator are the right channels for housing assignment, facility address, contact phone, and projected release date when available.
About Caddo Transitional Work Program
The work program is the clearest local reentry and program source in the Caddo research. The sheriff's history says Caddo's work-release program began in 2004, and the dedicated building was designed by Alliance Inc. and built by Hand Construction. More recent sheriff annual-report material says the Transitional Work Release Program was relaunched, giving eligible inmates at Caddo Correctional Center a new opportunity to work. Those details fit the sheriff's broader strategic plan, which identifies jail-overcrowding reduction, diversion, vocational and rehabilitation programming, drug-treatment enrollment, and lower recidivism among alternatives as population goals.
Work release should still be described as custody, not as ordinary community release. Participants remain subject to program rules, facility supervision, employment conditions, and return-to-custody consequences. The research did not provide eligibility criteria, employer participation rules, pay deductions, transportation rules, or disciplinary procedures. Those omissions should not be filled with generic assumptions from other parishes. For family members, the practical approach is to verify current assignment with TWP, use CCC or sheriff records for booking questions, and use the court or DPS&C channel when the case has moved beyond local jail status.
Note: Confirm current assignment, visit rules, and deposit facility selection with TWP before traveling or sending money.
