Home Incarceration Program:

The Gretna Police Department assumed administration of the Jefferson parish Adult Home Incarceration Program on April 3, 2000. At that time, the program monitored 135 defendants and currently has 250 defendants. Defendants are referred to the Home Incarceration Program not only from Jefferson Parish District and Municipal Courts, but also from district and parish courts outside of Jefferson Parish and occasionally the State of Louisiana. The Jefferson Parish Adult Home Incarceration Program has been recognized as a model program which is being adopted by other parishes throughout Louisiana and other states in their development and administration of home incarceration program in their respective jurisdictions.

In addition to the Home Incarceration Program, an Alcohol Monitoring Program is administered in conjunction with the "I Can Drug Court" program in Jefferson Parish. This is the first of its kind in the United States whereby drug court defendants are also monitored through an alcohol monitoring program for the consumption of alcohol as a secondary substance abuse while completing treatment for drug abuse. This has proven to be a valuable tool for the evaluation and follow-up treatment of defendants by clinical staff and the sentencing courts.
