Bridge City Correctional Center for Youth Information

Originally built as a convent, the Bridge City Correctional Center for Youth has housed female juveniles, both orphaned and those assigned there by the court, and male juvenile offenders who are being held on a warrant or under order of the court. It sits on 30 acres and the campus is made up of housing units, recreation space, classrooms, a library, and spaces for meal prep, medical care, laundry, mental health care, and group activities, day rooms, and other useful spaces. Recent breakouts led to a program that saw the most violent moved to a temporary location while security issues were addressed, though it is not a high security facility it is intended to be secure and safe for the community, the juveniles, and the staff. While it is a secure facility it is intended to maintain a positive environment that encourages positive social interactions, learning new skills and rehabilitation including substance abuse treatments and others. With the focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, it is not designed as an adult jail, but has been adapted from the convent design to offer a location that is more similar to a home or school environment.

Bridge City Correctional Center for Youth Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Orleans Parish?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Orleans Parish for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Bridge City Correctional Center for Youth?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Orleans Parish and other Louisiana and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Bridge City Correctional Center for Youth will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Bridge City Correctional Center for Youth Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
