Concordia Female TWP Overview
The Louisiana DPS&C facility page identifies Concordia Parish Transitional Work Program (Females) at 5223 Highway 84 West in Vidalia. It lists the physical and mailing address, phone (318) 336-2881, fax (318) 336-2864, and Warden Elizabeth Atkins McGlothin. The facility map classifies it as a transitional work program and describes the population as eligible female sentenced people in DOC custody assigned to work-release or reentry programming.
This status is different from a newly booked local detainee. A person in the female TWP has generally moved beyond initial arrest booking and into a sentence or state-custody placement. That means the search path starts with DPS&C/VINE rather than only the Concordia Parish roster. The parish roster may still help with local custody questions, but the work program should be treated as a state-local reentry placement, not as a municipal holding cell.
The DPS&C/JLCB report dated December 1, 2021, grouped the women's facility and female TWP together as "Concordia Parish Correctional Facility and TWP for Women." It listed 224 operational capacity, 88 female DOC count, 29 female TWP count, and 117 total DOC/TWP shown. Those numbers are useful because they confirm the female TWP population in an official report, but they are not a current daily roster.
Concordia Female TWP Population
The female TWP count from the 2021 report is the clearest public number found for the program. It shows that the Highway 84 site had a specific work-program component, not just general female custody. DPS&C statewide materials explain that Louisiana relies on local-level jails and transitional work programs for a large part of state custody and reentry housing. Concordia fits that model because sentenced people can remain in local facilities or work programs while under DPS&C authority.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Women's facility/TWP capacity | 224 | DPS&C/JLCB report dated 12/1/2021 |
| Female DOC count | 88 | Same report |
| Female TWP count | 29 | Same report |
| Total DOC/TWP shown | 117 | Same report |
Concordia Female TWP Lookup
For female TWP placement, use Louisiana VINELink and the DPS&C imprisoned-person information route. DPS&C points the public to VINE for locating imprisoned people and says callers can use 225-383-4580 to be connected to the imprisoned-person locator. Callers should have the DPS&C number or the person's name and date of birth. The search may show custody status or location, but details can still require a direct call to the program.
The Concordia Parish LA VINE roster remains relevant for current local jail custody, but the female TWP is not the first place to search for a same-day arrest. If the person was recently arrested in Concordia Parish, start with the parish roster and jail phone. If the person is serving a sentence or has been moved into work-release status, use DPS&C/VINE and call the Highway 84 West program line.
- Search Louisiana VINELink for the person's state custody or location status.
- Use the DPS&C locator phone route if the VINE result is unclear or the person has a DPS&C number.
- Call the female TWP at (318) 336-2881 before mailing, visiting, or sending money.
- Use the parish roster only for current local custody before assignment to the work program.

Concordia Female TWP Contact
DPS&C lists the same physical and mailing address for the female TWP. That does not mean every item may be mailed. Program mail, funds, work-release status, and visit rules should be confirmed first. The research did not locate a separate public handbook for the female TWP, and it did not locate detailed program-specific fees, phone rates, dress rules, or package rules on the DPS&C page.

Concordia Female TWP Visits
The sheriff jail information page says in-person visitation is suspended until further notice at Concordia Parish Jail, Concordia Parish Correctional Facility, and the Concordia Parish Women's Facility. The female TWP is tied to the women's facility address, so visit plans should be confirmed directly with the program before travel. Attorney visits and Zoom meetings for Concordia jail facilities require 24-hour scheduling and use the published attorney scheduling route, but TWP-specific legal visit procedures should still be verified with the program.
| Visit Type | Known Rule | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Public in-person visit | Suspended for women's facility per sheriff jail page | Call program before travel |
| Attorney meeting | Concordia facilities publish 24-hour scheduling | Confirm whether TWP uses same route |
| Program movement | Not published in source page | Confirm directly with TWP staff |
Note: Work-release status can affect movement, scheduling, and phone availability.
Concordia Female TWP Money
The sheriff publishes money options for Concordia facilities, including deposits.jailATM.com, inmatefinancial.com, the CPCF facility code, lobby kiosk deposits, and phone payments. The female TWP page itself does not publish its own deposit vendor or fee table. Because the program shares the Highway 84 address context with the women's facility, those sheriff-published money routes may apply, but they should be confirmed before a deposit is sent for a TWP participant.
CPSO says it does not accept property for inmates. That local rule should be treated as a warning for the TWP as well unless staff gives current instructions. Do not bring clothing, work items, or papers to the Highway 84 West location without approval. The research did not locate package rules or a public commissary price list.
| Service | Research-Based Handling |
|---|---|
| Online deposit | JailATM listed by sheriff, confirm TWP applicability |
| Alternate deposit | inmatefinancial.com listed by sheriff, confirm first |
| Facility code | CPCF listed by sheriff |
| DPS&C lists mailing address, but rules were not published | |
| Property | CPSO does not accept inmate property |
Concordia TWP Records
A transitional work program record is not the same as an arrest record. It may reflect sentence status, custody assignment, program eligibility, and reentry placement. The public may see location or status through VINE, while more detailed records may be controlled by DPS&C or the local program. If a person disappears from a parish jail roster after sentencing, that does not mean the custody record ended. It may mean the search moved to DPS&C/VINE.
- Transitional work program
- A work-release or reentry placement for an eligible sentenced person.
- DPS&C number
- The state corrections identifier useful for locator calls.
- Custody notification
- VINE status alerts tied to release, transfer, or custody changes.
For same-day booking questions, use the parish jail route. For program assignment, use DPS&C/VINE and the female TWP phone line.
