Parish Re-Entry Programs has been designed to facilitate successful re-entry
of ex-offenders into the law-abiding world. This goal will be achieved through an
intensive in-prison treatment program focusing on both substance abuse and
criminality issues.
The criminal population has been shown to engage in drug and alcohol abuse, and
that abuse can be a causative factor in the commission of criminal acts. Through
an intensive in-prison treatment program followed by post-release outpatient
treatment, the Re-entry Court can successfully reintegrate ex-offenders into law-
abiding society. This will be accomplished by focusing on the offenders’ substance
abuse problems, criminal thinking, and continuity of care as they transition into
the free-world.
