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.
