At the West Baton Rouge Parish Traditional 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. West Baton Rouge TWP is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.

The West Baton Rouge Transitional Work Facility, built in 1995, accommodates 262 inmates eligible to participate in the Transitional Work Program (TWP). To qualify for the TWP, inmates must be within six months to four years of release, depending on their offense. Participants work at approved jobs and return to the facility when not working, aiding their transition from incarceration to the workforce.

The TWP has proven successful, with 10 to 20 percent of participants retaining employment upon release. It also serves as an alternative for technical parole violators. Employers interested in utilizing TWP participants to augment their workforce can contact the Job Placement Coordinator for further information and assistance regarding personnel with diverse skills and certifications.
