The Nelson Coleman Correctional is a detention center located at 5061 LA-3127 Killona, LA which is operated locally by the St. Charles Parish County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. St. Charles Parish County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Killona Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Louisiana here.

The St. Charles Parish Nelson Coleman Correctional Center opened for operation on June 15, 2001. The facility has the capacity to house 600 inmates and averages 550 inmates. The Corrections Division is staffed with 150 deputies, clerical, and medical personnel.

By housing more inmates, we have seen a reduction in crime throughout the parish. We are using basic techniques at a minimal cost to the Sheriff’s Office and taxpayers to stop the cycle of crime.

The Center sells phone cards at the commissary and will relay your number to the inmate if you call to notify them.

GED Program - The St. Charles Parish Nelson Coleman Correctional Center in cooperation with the St. Charles Parish Schools offers a GED program for inmates. Over 75% complete at least one educational functioning level and 25%-30% receive their GEDs annually.

Project Transition Programs - The facility provides a host of other programs including Project Transition, a cooperative effort including:

Classes - The facility also provides regular classes for inmate development such as Alcoholics Anonymous, anger management classes, and various other self-improvement programs. Project Transition prepares inmates for re-entry into the community.

Additional Programs - For information about the outreach, work, and work release programs, please view Outreach and Work Programs. In the future we hope to add a vehicle maintenance shop incorporating inmate labor and a horticulture and agriculture program for inmates.
