The Department’s main mission in emergency situations such as Hurricanes Gustav and Ike is to assist in the evacuation, transportation, housing and care of offenders in local jail facilities.
As of October 8, 2008, only Terrebonne parish offenders are currently assigned to DOC facilities. Offenders evacuated prior to the storms are assigned to Louisiana State Penitentiary. Individuals arrested post-storm are assigned to Elayn Hunt Correctional Center.
Family members wishing to contact incarcerated loved ones who have been evacuated from local facilities can call the number listed below for information:

The phone bank hours are from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm until all offenders have been returned to their home facilities.
