The new facility features holding and isolation cells, a booking area, medical office with an exam room, a central command center, a kitchen, and separate recreation yards for male and female inmates. The decision to construct the new facility was based on a 2012 feasibility study, which determined that the existing jail was undersized, outdated, consistently overcrowded, and in need of expensive repairs and security upgrades. The facility is owned by the Police Jury, with operations overseen by the sheriff's office.
