ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
The mission of Prison Enterprises is to lower the cost of incarceration by providing job opportunities to offenders that instill occupational and skills training, while producing quality products and services for sale to state and local governments, non-profit organizations, political subdivisions and others. Operation of the Prison Enterprises' programs serves to further the Department of Corrections Reentry Initiative by enabling offenders to increase the potential for successful rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
With the cooperation and assistance of eight correctional facilities located throughout the state, Prison Enterprises is able to offer our customers a wide variety of industrial and agricultural products.
Comprising over 70 full time employees and between 800 and 1,000 offenders working in various industrial, service and agricultural positions, all of our people have one goal - to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in both the lives of the people who produce our products and our customers who buy them.
Home-grown and hand-made in Louisiana, our products are uncompromising in quality! From triple stitched jumpsuits to custom built furniture, we can supply all of your institutional or organizational needs.
From embroidery and printing to janitorial services and grounds keeping; we have what it takes to keep your organization looking its’ best.
Prison Enterprises also has agricultural programs at five of the correctional facilities throughout Louisiana. Find out more about our agricultural programs.
OUR
ANNUAL REPORT
Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Prison Enterprises faced some substantial challenges over the past year, such as significant weather events and a continuing global pandemic, which has led to volatile commodity and raw material pricing, supply shortages and delays, as well as staffing issues at all locations, both with inmate workers and employees. However, in spite of all of this, our sales were increased over last fiscal year. This directly illustrates the hard work and dedication of the staff of this organization.
