Locate Iberia Transitional Work Program Inmates

Iberia Transitional Work Program Overview

The Iberia Transitional Work Program is listed in the 2023 Status of State and Local Corrections Facilities and Program Report as "Iberia Transitional Work Program (LAWF)." The listing names Warden Roosevelt Peter, gives the program address as 3701 Broken Arrow Road in New Iberia, and lists phone numbers (337) 365-0717 and (337) 365-0716. It is distinct from Iberia Parish Criminal Justice Facility, even though both locations sit on Broken Arrow Road.

This is not a city jail or a federal prison. The research identifies the program as transitional work or work release for eligible sentenced people. Louisiana DPS&C's reentry material explains transitional-work programming as part of the broader process of assessing needs, preparing people for reentry, connecting them to programs or community referrals, and reducing recidivism. That is a different frame from a new arrest at the parish jail.

Because work-release placement can depend on sentence status, offense restrictions, release eligibility, job assignment, and facility movement rules, custody confirmation should not rely on a single web list. Check the sheriff roster when the person may still be locally booked, then use Louisiana VINE or the program phone lines for sentenced custody and placement questions.

Iberia Work Program Capacity

No official program-specific capacity figure was located in the direct correctional listing for Iberia Transitional Work Program. Vera's Iberia Parish profile reports two prisons or jails in the parish with combined capacity of 675. The sheriff's jail information gives the main jail capacity as 512 prisoners. The difference, about 163 beds, is useful context for the second facility but should not be presented as an official work-program capacity because the source does not publish that exact number for this program.

Search Iberia Work Program Custody

A work-release placement may not display as clearly as a new booking on the active inmate list. Start with the Iberia Parish public roster if the person recently entered local custody or may still have a parish booking profile. Then check Louisiana VINE, because sentenced state custody can move through DPS&C-linked channels even when the person is housed locally or in a transitional program. If the person is not found online, call the program numbers and the main jail.

1. Search the Iberia Parish roster by name, jacket number, or birth year when local booking details are known.
2. Review the profile for custody status, booked date, reporting agency, charges, release date, and bond or hold fields.
3. Search Louisiana VINE for a sentenced state-custody record or notification option.
4. Call Iberia Transitional Work Program at (337) 365-0717 or (337) 365-0716 for placement-specific questions.
5. Call the main jail at (337) 369-2431 if the person recently transferred from booking to a program assignment.

The Iberia Parish inmate population hub explains how the main jail, work program, state custody, and federal holds fit together across the parish custody system.

Iberia Transitional Work Program Contact

Use the program contact for work-release placement, movement, visit, and facility-specific rule questions. Use the main jail and sheriff records channels for booking records, public-records requests, and recent custody changes that began at the jail.

Iberia Work Program Visits

The research did not locate a program-specific public visitation schedule, mail rule sheet, dress code, or child-visitor policy for Iberia Transitional Work Program. That gap should not be filled with main-jail assumptions. Transitional work participants may have off-site work schedules, return times, classification rules, and movement limits that differ from the parish jail's ordinary booking population.

Note: Do not assume a jail visit rule applies to a work-release resident unless program staff confirms it.

Iberia Work Program Mail

Local sources did not publish a separate mail format or fee sheet for the Iberia Transitional Work Program. For mail, ask staff whether the resident's full legal name, program ID or jacket number, housing detail, and return address are required. For money and communications, the sheriff materials name NCIC for phone deposits, CorrectPay for video visitation and messaging deposits, and TouchPay/GTL for accepted jail payments, but the research does not prove that every vendor service applies in the same way to work-release residents.

Iberia Work Program Intake

Work-release intake differs from street-arrest booking. A person generally must first have a custody basis, sentence, or placement path that makes transitional work possible. DPS&C reentry material describes classification, programming, community referrals, and preparation for release as part of the broader process. The program listing confirms a warden and dedicated Broken Arrow Road location, but it does not publish an online intake manual.

When a person moves from the parish jail into transitional work, online records may lag behind the physical move. The local roster may still show booking information, while Louisiana VINE may show custody or notification status. For a precise placement answer, call the program and use the main jail as a backup for recent transfers from Iberia Parish Criminal Justice Facility.

Louisiana Transitional Work Context

Louisiana's local custody structure makes the Iberia Transitional Work Program important even though it is easy to miss in a basic jail search. The DPS&C Iberia Parish page verifies the local jail, while a separate jail-management publication identifies the work program. Vera's parish profile then shows that Iberia Parish has two custody facilities in its capacity count.

The DPS&C facility directory helps verify that no state-operated adult prison was found physically in Iberia Parish beyond local jail and program listings. That distinction matters for families. Sentenced state custody may use a parish facility, but the lookup path still may move through Louisiana VINE rather than a county-only roster.

The facility directory context supports the safer search sequence: check local custody first, then confirm state-custody status through Louisiana VINE and direct program phone calls.
