The Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections (LA DPS&C) creates a safer Louisiana by providing correctional programs committed to the protection of the public; safety of our staff; security of people in prison; services to those victimized by crime; and opportunities for positive behavioral change in those remanded to our custody and/or supervision.

We achieve our vision through safe, secure prison operations and community correctional programs, development and implementation of effective criminal justice policies for Louisiana, and the provision of rehabilitative opportunities for imprisoned people that supports their successful transition into the community.
