The West Baton Rouge Work Release Center is a medium-security detention center located at 1397 Northwest Dr Port Allen, LA which is operated locally by the West Baton Rouge Parish County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. West Baton Rouge Parish County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Port Allen Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

West Baton Rouge Transitional Work Facility was constructed in 1995 and houses 262 inmates who are eligible to enter the traditional workforce. To be eligible to enter the Transitional Work Program, an inmate must be from six (6) months to four (4) years prior to release from incarceration, depending on the offense of conviction. Inmates are required to work at an approved job and when not working, they must return to the structured environment of the assigned Transitional Work Facility. Transitional Work Programs are successful in assisting an offender in making the transition from prison back into the workforce.

Approximately 10 to 20 percent of offenders remain with their employer upon release. The Transitional Work Program is also utilized as a valuable alternative for technical parole violators in lieu of returning them to prison.
