Corrections Services
Corrections Services (referred to as the Department of Corrections) is responsible for the custody of adult inmates across Louisiana. Just over half of Louisiana‘s approximately 37,000 prisoners are assigned to the state’s thirteen correctional facilities. The remaining prisoners are assigned to parish facilities and work release centers. [4]
History
In 1835, the first Louisiana State Penitentiary was built at the corner of 6th and Laurel Streets in Baton Rouge. In 1844, the penitentiary, including the prisoners, was leased to the private firm of McHatton Pratt and Company. Union Troops occupied the penitentiary during the Civil War, and in 1869, the lease was awarded to a former Confederate Major by the name of Samuel James. Major James oversaw the Louisiana Corrections system for the next 31 years. [5]
From 1901 until 1916, Corrections was operated by the Board of Control, a three member panel appointed by the Governor of Louisiana. One of the first things the new board did was to purchase the 8,000-acre (32 km2) Angola Plantation. New camps were built and many new security officers were hired. [5]
In 1916, the legislature abolished the Board of Control and appointed a General Manager of the penitentiary. The new General Manager, Henry L. Fuqua, fired almost all of the officers at Angola and in their place put selected inmate "trusty guards". The manager also purchased an additional 10,000 acres (40 km2) of land, increasing the size of the State Penitentiary to 18,000 acres (73 km2). [5]
