Morehouse Parish Transitional Work Program Lookup

TWP Resident Overview

The Louisiana DPS&C Morehouse Parish page lists Morehouse Parish TWP at the Collinston Patey Road location with Lt. Danny McGrew as director. The program type is transitional work or work release. That label is important. A TWP resident is not always in the same status as a person just booked into the parish jail after an arrest.

Transitional work programs generally sit later in the custody path than first booking. The research for Morehouse Parish supports eligible sentenced offenders assigned to work-release or transitional programming. A resident may still be within Louisiana DPS&C custody while housed in a local program. For that reason, the Morehouse Parish Transitional Work Program lookup path should include LA VINE, state custody channels, and direct facility confirmation.

The DPS&C parish listing shown below comes from the official Morehouse Parish local jails and programs page, which is the source tying the TWP to the Collinston facility location and listing the director contact.

The listing places the TWP within the same local corrections map as the jail, annex, and detention center, but program status still needs confirmation before any visit, mail, or money step.

TWP Capacity and Population

No separate TWP-only capacity was published in the official sources inspected. The December 2021 legislative and DOC table grouped Morehouse Parish Detention Center and TWP together at a capacity of 272. The same grouped row showed 195 as the population or average daily population figure. Those figures should stay grouped because the research did not break out the TWP beds from the Detention Center beds.

The public Morehouse LA VINE roster showed 201 offenders when inspected on June 16, 2026. That roster count is a current public roster snapshot, not a TWP population report. It also should not be treated as proof that all rostered people are eligible for work release or assigned to the TWP.

Use the grouped number as scale, not as a current resident count. The program office is the source to confirm whether one person is assigned to Morehouse Parish TWP on a given day.

TWP Resident Lookup

The Morehouse Parish Transitional Work Program lookup process should not rely on one screen alone. The LA VINE Louisiana person search is the state custody and notification channel, and the Morehouse public roster can still help when a person is in the local jail management feed. Because TWP residents may be sentenced or assigned differently than new detainees, direct phone confirmation is a normal part of the search.

1. Search LA VINE for the person's name and Louisiana custody status.
2. Check the Morehouse LA VINE roster if local custody is possible.
3. Use DOB, race, gender, and custody details to avoid matching the wrong person.
4. Call the Morehouse Parish TWP contact line at (318) 281-4141 to confirm assignment.
5. Ask whether mail, visits, phone deposits, or release questions should be handled through the program or another facility.

The public roster inspected for Morehouse Parish showed name, DOB, race, gender, arrest date when present, and a VINELink notification link. It did not show charges, bond, housing unit, work-release status, employer assignment, booking number, or mugshot. Those gaps are especially important for a transitional work program because public roster fields may not describe program eligibility or day schedule.

TWP Contact Details

DPS&C lists Morehouse Parish TWP at the same Collinston address used for the Detention Center, with a different phone number and Lt. Danny McGrew as director. The listed fax matches the Detention Center fax. Use the TWP phone for program-specific questions, and use the detention center line only when the issue is tied to custody at that building rather than program assignment.

The Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office main administrative address is 351 South Franklin Street in Bastrop. The sheriff's office is useful for general routing and records questions, but it should not replace a direct TWP confirmation when the question is whether a named person is assigned to work release.

TWP Visiting Schedule

No official Morehouse Parish source inspected published a TWP visitation calendar, visitor approval process, dress code, lobby hours, video visit provider, or holiday rule. Work-release status can also make timing more complex than a standard jail visit because residents may have approved work or program movement. Do not assume the jail schedule applies to the TWP.

Before traveling, ask whether the resident is present during the proposed visit window, whether the visitor must be approved, what identification is required, and whether program status changes visiting access. Those facts were not published in the official web sources.

TWP Phone Deposits

The Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office Corrections Division publishes Correct Solutions and CSG Pay as the phone and deposit provider for parish corrections. The source does not separate a TWP-only money rule from the jail and detention center rules. Treat the vendor details as the published parish correctional account path, then call the program to confirm the correct resident identifier and whether a deposit applies to the person's current status.

Mail rules for TWP residents were not published in the official Morehouse sources inspected. Confirm the exact mail format, resident number, legal mail process, book restrictions, money order rules, and any work-release-specific limits before sending anything to the Patey Road address.

TWP Custody Status Terms

Readers often search a work program with jail terms, but the status can be different. A person in a transitional work program may still be in custody while also taking part in structured work release. Release, transfer, or removal from the program can be tied to DPS&C classification, court orders, detainers, facility rules, and local correctional decisions. The public roster does not explain those internal decisions.

TWP

Transitional Work Program, a local corrections program for eligible sentenced offenders.

Work release

A custody status that may allow approved work outside secure housing under program rules.

DPS&C custody

Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections responsibility after state sentencing.

Detainer

A hold from another court or agency that may affect movement or release.

When the question is formal charges or court dates, use the Fourth Judicial District Court and Morehouse Clerk path. When the question is whether a person is in the program today, use LA VINE and call the TWP line. For broader population context, the Morehouse Parish inmate population page distinguishes current roster counts from average daily population figures.

TWP Records Gaps

The research did not locate a TWP handbook, resident schedule, approved-employer rules, program fees, separate commissary schedule, grievance process, work-release eligibility checklist, or visitor rules on official Morehouse pages. Those gaps should stay visible because they affect what a family member can do from outside the facility.

For records that are not online, the sheriff's office is the local custodian route unless DPS&C controls the specific state record. Louisiana public-records law supports inspection and copying of non-exempt public records, but individual DPS&C imprisoned-person records and booking photos can have separate limits. Ask which agency holds the record before making a detailed request.
