In 1982, RS 15:848 provided the framework for the Lincoln Parish Police Jury to create a centralized, single-parish jail and prison for the purpose of providing for the maintenance and upkeep of all persons lawfully incarcerated in Lincoln Parish. The Lincoln Parish Detention Center (LPDC) is governed by the Lincoln Parish Detention Center Commission (Commission), which is responsible for equipping, maintaining, operating and/or supporting the LPDC and the prisoners incarcerated there. The Commission has entered into a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement with the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office for the day-to-day operation of the LPDC. The costs of operation are derived from a ¼ % Sales Tax levied on retail sales within the Parish.
The Detention Center is located at 170 Road Camp Road in Ruston, Louisiana.
