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
The past year has been a trying one for Prison Enterprises. Some of the challenges we continued to face included continuing quarantines and staffing shortages due to the pandemic, substantially increased raw material and commodity pricing, supply chain shortages and staff turnover. However, due to the hard work and continued dedication illustrated day in and day out by our staff, our revenues increased $1.5 million over the previous year. Many of our employees worked overtime throughout the year, and especially nearing fiscal year end to ensure that all orders were delivered by June 30th.
