At the Terrebonne Parish Transitional Work Program, inmates with good behavior have access to traditional jobs in the public sector during the day. The program offers varying degrees of freedom, some even allowing prisoners to work during the week and return home, serving their sentences on only weekends. Depending on the terms (which change from time to time), inmates may reside in a halfway house or under home confinement when not working. As they near their release date, residents may transition to reintegration programs, with potential offers of full-time employment upon full release.

Work release program initiatives have proven benefits, including increased employment opportunities post-release, accelerated job acquisition, higher post-release earnings, and reduced recidivism rates among participants. Terrebonne TWP is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.

In recent years, the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections has prioritized reducing its nation-leading incarceration rate. A significant portion of those incarcerated are placed in local jails and transitional work programs. Annually, around 18,000 individuals are released from state prisons and jails back into Louisiana communities, often facing challenges in finding housing, employment, and accessing essential services.

To address this issue and curb recidivism rates, the Department has expanded programming opportunities for individuals serving sentences at the local level. This initiative includes the establishment of nine Regional Reentry Programs in collaboration with Sheriffs. These programs offer the Standardized Pre-Release Curriculum 2010 and Certified Treatment and Rehabilitative Programs (CTRP), covering essential life skills like work readiness, financial management, substance abuse education, parenting, and anger management. Participants may also pursue their high school diploma if needed.

Eligible individuals, with 6 months to 4 years remaining in their sentence, are selected to participate in these programs. They work at approved jobs and cover their expenses, including room and board and medical care, thereby alleviating the burden on taxpayers. Moreover, participants contribute to society by paying fines, child support, court costs, and victim restitution. Regular inspections by deputies ensure compliance and progress.

These programs have demonstrated success in reducing recidivism rates, offering individuals a chance to reintegrate into society as productive members upon release from prison.
