In 2002, the Department organized and standardized programs and services to deal with these issues and to better prepare offenders for a successful reintegration into their communities. Offenders are provided the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational, vocational, faith-based and therapeutic programming to aid their reentry efforts. Louisiana’s response will improve public safety, reduce recidivism, decrease victimization, and reduce the financial burden of its correctional system.
