Orleans Transitional Work Program Overview
The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections facility directory lists Orleans Transitional Work Program, also identified as Warren McDaniel Transitional Work Program, in New Orleans. It is a transitional work program, not the ordinary parish jail used for fresh arrests, first appearances, and pretrial custody. The population is state-sentenced people assigned to transitional work programming under Louisiana corrections arrangements.
That distinction changes the lookup path. A person booked last night by a local arresting agency is usually searched through OPSO Inmate Inquiry or Orleans LA VINE for Orleans Justice Center. A person assigned to Orleans Transitional Work Program should be searched through the Louisiana DPS&C/VINELink path and confirmed with the facility. If the record still shows OJC, the person may be sentenced but waiting for transport or may not have moved into transitional programming.
The DPS&C facility directory is the official source that located this program in Orleans Parish.
The directory listing supports the facility name, address, and phone, but it did not provide a public capacity, visitation schedule, mail format, commissary vendor, or deposit fee table.
Orleans Transitional Work Program Custody
Orleans Transitional Work Program custody is state-corrections focused. The Facility Map research describes the population as state-sentenced people assigned to transitional work programming, not ordinary pretrial jail detainees. Louisiana DPS&C facility materials list the program but do not publish a capacity figure in the accessible directory entry. No official population count specific to this transitional work program was located in the research materials.
For Orleans Parish records work, the safest sequence is to decide whether the person is pretrial, locally sentenced and still in jail, state-sentenced and transferred, or in a work-release placement. The same name can appear in different systems at different stages, and a transfer can make an OPSO recent booking result stale.
Orleans Transitional Work Program Lookup
The correct public lookup path for Orleans Transitional Work Program is the statewide Louisiana DPS&C/VINELink person search, available through VINELink's Louisiana person search. DPS&C links Locate Imprisoned Person through VINELink, and VINE also supports custody-status notification. Because the search can be JavaScript-heavy and because transitional placement can change, the facility phone remains important for confirmation.
- Open the Louisiana VINELink person search and select the person-search workflow for Louisiana.
- Search by name, using full legal name and spelling variants when needed.
- Review the result for current custody, location, or notification options tied to Louisiana corrections.
- Call Orleans Transitional Work Program to confirm whether the person is assigned there now.
- If the person is a new arrestee, check OJC through OPSO instead because this program is not a recent-booking jail roster.

|---|---|---|
| State-sentenced person assigned to the program | Louisiana DPS&C/VINELink and facility phone | Program is state-corrections focused. |
| New local arrest or recent booking | OPSO Inmate Inquiry for OJC | Recent bookings are jail records, not transitional-work placement records. |
| Victim notification | VINE registration | VINE supports custody-status notification workflows. |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP locator or ICE ODLS | No BOP prison or ICE detention center was identified in Orleans Parish. |
Orleans Transitional Work Program Contact
Use the facility phone for placement confirmation, visit questions, mail instructions, and any money or commissary issue. The research did not locate an official public subpage for this specific program with a schedule or account-vendor table, so direct confirmation is not optional for time-sensitive questions.

Orleans Transitional Work Program Visits
No official visitation schedule for Orleans Transitional Work Program was located in the accessible DPS&C directory listing. Transitional work programs can have rules that differ from a parish jail because participants may have work assignments, movement limits, employer obligations, and state-corrections conditions. A schedule from Orleans Justice Center should not be copied to this facility.
| Visit issue | Status from research | Practical step |
|---|---|---|
| Public schedule | Not located in official accessible source | Call 504-249-7264 before travel. |
| Visitor approval | Not published in located directory entry | Ask whether approval is required before arrival. |
| Identification rules | Not published for this program in research | Confirm accepted ID and entry rules by phone. |
| Attorney or professional visit | No separate public schedule located | Call the program and use counsel channels as directed. |
When a person is not yet assigned to the program, visitation may still be controlled by OJC or another DOC facility. Confirm the location first, then ask the location that actually holds the person.
Orleans Transitional Work Program Mail
The research did not locate an official mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, or fee table for Orleans Transitional Work Program. That gap should not be filled with assumptions from the parish jail or from another Louisiana corrections facility. A state-sentenced participant's mail and money rules can depend on the program's current operating procedures and the person's placement status.
| Service | Official detail located | Use before acting |
|---|---|---|
| Mail format | No program-specific format located | Call the program for exact addressing. |
| Commissary | No vendor or schedule located | Ask whether the person can receive commissary funds. |
| Money deposit | No fee table located | Confirm accepted methods before sending funds. |
| Phone or video | No provider located | Ask for current communication rules. |
Do not use an OJC commissary or mail instruction unless the facility confirms that the person is still at OJC. A transfer to transitional work programming can change the agency, address format, and payment route.
Work Program vs OJC
The Orleans Justice Center and Orleans Transitional Work Program answer different record questions. OJC is the parish jail for new arrests, open matters, local custody, detainers, and sentenced people waiting for DOC or ELMHS transport. Orleans Transitional Work Program is a state-sentenced transitional-work placement. A person may move from OJC into a DPS&C path after sentencing, but that does not make the work program a recent-bookings roster.
| Feature | Orleans Justice Center | Orleans Transitional Work Program |
|---|---|---|
| Main population | Pretrial, local sentenced, warrants, detainers, transfer waits | State-sentenced transitional work participants |
| Operator or listing | Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office | Louisiana DPS&C directory listing |
| Primary lookup | OPSO Inmate Inquiry and Orleans LA VINE | Louisiana DPS&C/VINELink and facility phone |
| Recent bookings | OPSO Recent button may show current and recent rows | Not the correct route for ordinary recent bookings |
For a local arrest that has just happened, start with Orleans Justice Center. For a sentenced person who may have entered a work-release or transitional program, start with the DPS&C/VINELink route and call the program.
Orleans Transitional Work Records
Louisiana public records law can cover writings, electronic records, photographs, databases, and other materials used in public business unless an exception applies. That does not mean each custody detail is published online. For Orleans Transitional Work Program, the research located the DPS&C directory listing and statewide locator path, but not a program-specific public record portal with full participant records.
Use a narrow request when online lookup and phone confirmation do not answer a legitimate records question. Ask the agency that maintains the record. Jail booking material usually belongs with OPSO when the person was at OJC. State-corrections placement material may belong with DPS&C or the program. Court case status belongs with the clerk or court system, not the work program itself.
Note: Confirm the current facility before mailing, paying, visiting, or relying on an old roster entry.
