Located at 15200 Scenic Hwy in Baker, LA, LCIW carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. LCIW offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

The Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women (LCIW) is dedicated to providing professional custody, control, care, and treatment to incarcerated adult women while ensuring public safety and facilitating their successful reintegration into society upon release.

LCIW offers various educational and vocational programs aimed at improving offenders' knowledge and skills to prepare them for employment opportunities. These programs include Basic Adult Literacy for non-readers to intermediate readers, Adult Basic Education (ABE)/Developmental Studies for basic upgrades, and High School Equivalency (HSE) for achieving a diploma.

Additionally, vocational classes such as Culinary Arts, Horticulture, Upholstery, and Welding provide offenders with specialized skills for employment in various industries. These programs offer hands-on training and industry-based credentials, with grade-level requirements for admission.

Furthermore, LCIW prioritizes offender reentry programming, which begins at intake and continues throughout incarceration. Offenders participate in structured programming to prepare them for reintegration, including resume writing, interviewing skills, parenting, anger management, and substance abuse instruction. Community agencies also provide valuable information pertinent to release during this program.

Inmate Locator

LCIW maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.

If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
