School Overview
The Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women (LCIW), located in St. Gabriel, serves as the primary state-operated correctional facility for adult female offenders in Louisiana. Historically, the institution has functioned as a multi-custody facility, housing inmates ranging from minimum to maximum security classifications. It is responsible for providing a structured environment that manages the state’s female incarcerated population while overseeing various administrative and rehabilitative functions.

In recent years, the facility has undergone significant changes, particularly following the 2016 floods that caused severe damage to the original site. Consequently, operations have been relocated and integrated into a broader correctional complex. The facility's mandate generally focuses on maintaining safety and security while offering programs aimed at vocational training, educational advancement, and behavioral health, intended to assist in the eventual reintegration of inmates back into society.
