Madison Bayou Correctional Center Overview

DPS&C lists Madison Bayou Correctional Center Transitional Work Program at 196 Old Highway 65 South in Tallulah, with phone (318) 574-0584, fax (318) 574-0228, the same mailing address, and Warden Janorris Bonney. The name itself is important. Transitional work program signals a custody and reentry setting for people moving through work-release or transition activity, not a simple city jail or ordinary holding cell.

The facility should be described as a program facility within Madison Parish's state/local custody network. It may house state-sentenced people who are still in custody but have program conditions that differ from a parish jail population. Those conditions can affect movement, visits, phone access, jobs, and return times. A public locator result should be followed by a facility phone call when a family member needs a visit, deposit, or mail rule.

Madison Bayou Program Population

No current capacity or population count was published on the DPS&C Madison Bayou facility page reviewed in the research. The broader Madison Parish data shows a large state-time local jail population and several local program facilities, but no source gave a current head count for this specific transitional work program. Do not apply the 898-bed Madison Parish Correctional Center figure to this page.

The population type is still a key fact. Work release means the person remains under custody control while participating in an approved transition setting. It does not mean free release, and it does not mean the person will appear in every county jail roster result. DPS&C and VINELink are better first checks for state custody.

Look Up Madison Bayou Inmates

Use Louisiana VINELink and DPS&C locator information for people assigned to Madison Bayou Correctional Center Transitional Work Program. DPS&C says LAVNS can search by location, name, and ID or case number. The phone locator at 225-383-4580 can provide housing assignment, address, facility phone, and projected release date when applicable if the caller has a DPS&C number or a name plus date of birth.

1. Start with LAVNS or VINELink and search by name, DPS&C number, or location.
2. Confirm whether the result names Madison Bayou Correctional Center Transitional Work Program or a closely named Bayou facility.
3. Call (318) 574-0584 to verify program status, visit eligibility, and current mail rules.
4. For local court records, use the Madison Parish Clerk only if the underlying case is a Madison Parish case.

Madison Bayou TWP Contact

Call the facility before using a deposit vendor, mailing anything, or traveling to Old Highway 65 South. Similar names appear in Madison Parish research, including Bayou Correctional Center and Madison Bayou Correctional Center Transitional Work Program. A caller should use the full facility name, the person's full legal name, and any DPS&C number.

Madison Bayou TWP Visits

No public visitation schedule was located for Madison Bayou Correctional Center Transitional Work Program. Work-release facilities can have rules that differ from ordinary jail visits because participants may have program obligations, job assignments, curfews, discipline rules, and approval lists. A visitor should not assume that a person can receive visits just because a locator shows the person is housed in Tallulah.

Note: Program custody can change quickly, so verify the person's location on the same day as a visit.

Madison Bayou Mail Money

Use the person's full name, DPS&C number if known, the full facility name, and the Old Highway 65 South mailing address unless staff provide a different format. Research did not locate package rules, book-vendor rules, photo limits, or money-order instructions. Those details should be confirmed by phone because program facilities often control outside items more tightly than ordinary correspondence.

Tiger Commissary's Louisiana selector showed Madison Parish Bayou Correctional options, but fees, limits, and the exact correct selection were not confirmed in the research. Do not make a deposit until staff confirm the vendor and facility label.

Madison Bayou Program Intake

Intake at a transitional work program is not the same as a street arrest booking. The person may already have a sentence or DPS&C assignment. Staff may review identity, custody status, work eligibility, conduct history, health needs, and program conditions. A return to custody, a rule violation, or a detainer can change status without changing the original court record.

For charges and court filings after a Madison Parish arrest, use the Madison Parish Clerk and Sixth Judicial District Attorney. For physical custody and housing assignment, use DPS&C/LAVNS and the facility phone. Those two record systems answer different questions.

About Madison Bayou TWP

Madison Bayou Correctional Center Transitional Work Program reflects Madison Parish's unusual correctional geography. Tallulah contains a small parish jail, regional correctional facilities, and multiple DPS&C-listed program facilities. A person physically held in Madison Parish may be from another parish or may be in state custody while assigned to a local program bed. That is why the Madison Parish inmate population needs both local and state search channels.
