The Assumption Parish Detention Center is a medium security facility capable of housing 108 inmates. Anyone arrested by state and local agencies within Assumption Parish is brought to the facility for booking.

 

The facility houses state and local inmates who have been sentenced and individuals that are awaiting the disposition of their cases. Juvenile and female arrestees are housed at separate facilities in surrounding parishes.

 

Among the inmates confined to the facility, several are assigned to the Trustee Detail. These inmates are assigned to work on a daily basis within the facility and in various locations in the community. The inmates working outside of the facility provide services such as the maintenance and upkeep of parish properties and litter abatement on roads and highways within the parish.
