East Baton Rouge Parish Prison is the county jail for East Baton Rouge Parish. A parish in Louisiana is the same thing as a county in other states. Louisiana relies on the French word instead of the English word county.

East Baton Rouge Parish Prison is used to house male and female inmates in different parts of the complex. About 1,500 people are typically incarcerated at the facility at any time. The great majority of the inmates are men. More than 4,000 people are processed through the center each year.

Because this is the parish facility, all categories of inmates are held here. Some may serve their entire sentence at the center and some are held pending transfer to a state or federal facility. The East Baton Rouge Parish Prison is operated by the sheriff’s office.
