The J. B. Evans Correctional Center – GEO is a private prison located at 521 Routh St in Newelton, LA in Tensas Parish County. This Medium – general security prison is operated by a private company in contract with the Louisiana Department of Corrections, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the US Marshal Service and/or Immigration Enforcement to hold inmates who are awaiting trial or have already been convicted and sentenced for a crime in any of these jurisdictions.

The inmates housed at this Louisiana facility are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the length of their sentence and the past criminal history). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. JB Evans Correctional's mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate. This compound operates onsite to meet most of the inmate's needs, including dietary, health, fitness, education, religious practices, entertainment, and many others. Most private prisons are kept in top condition as they are constantly subjected to rigorous inspections and would like to keep a clean record to maintain government contracts.
