About the Franklin Parish Work Release Facility

The Transitional Work Program (TWP) offers certain eligible offenders the opportunity to participate from six months to four years prior to their release from incarceration, depending on the offense committed.

While sex offenders are generally not allowed to participate in the program, approved offenders must work at an approved job and, when not working, return to the structured environment of their assigned facility. Contract TWPs are closely monitored by Probation and Parole Officers, who conduct random drug screens and facility shakedowns. These officers are also part of the Auditing Teams that perform annual audits of TWP facilities.

TWPs have proven successful in facilitating the transition of offenders from prison back into the workforce. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of participants secure employment with their TWP employer upon release. The program also serves as a valuable alternative for technical parole violators, offering an alternative to returning them to prison.

The benefits of TWPs are numerous. Placing offenders in a TWP is a more cost-effective approach than traditional incarceration. Participants become taxpayers rather than tax consumers, as they are able to contribute to victim restitution, child support, court costs, and fines. As part of a long-range reentry objective, there is a plan to increase the number of TWP beds.
