Anyone Know How to Get a Louisiana Dept of Corrections Prisoner Moved From Calcasieu Parish to a DOC Facility?
Question by Darlene H: Anyone know how to get a Louisiana Dept of Corrections prisoner moved from Calcasieu Parish to a DOC facility?
My son is in Calcasieu Parish Jail, has a Dept of Corrections number; and would like to finish his time in a facility that provides medical care, education, work responsibilities, etc. Calcasieu Parish jail and prison is the nastiest, filthiest facility. Staff infections run rampant; food portions are child sized, hep C is prominent (and the nurse there says they don’t provide medical care for Hep C.) I was actually told by the warden that Hep C is not life threatening; therefore, they will not provide medical care or special care in diet for those who have it. Also my son is an artist and they will not allow him to receive blank white paper or charcoals to work with. They have deliberately destroyed some of the work he has done that he sends to me to save for future art training. He has a mentor who is a prominent artist and teacher who is trying to find a way to get the harmless supplies to him; no luck yet. He has Hep C, his teeth need work from past drug abuse.

I think your best option is to write to the Warden, or Ombudsman of the facility where your son is housed. They have the power to deny or allow his transfer, so the only way you can accomplish that is by being friendly and reasonable, no matter how hard that may be. You’ll get much farther with these people using honey rather than vinegar, if you know what I mean. Also, make sure your son keeps his nose clean in there, and get him to write a letter as well, or request a meeting with the warden of the facility. Make sure that he goes through the chain of command though – for example, he may want to talk to the manager of his unit before going straight to the warden. Hope that helps. Good luck.
