Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 15, § 574.5. Intensive incarceration and parole supervision of persons held by sheriff in Orleans Parish

(1) The offender is sentenced to be committed to the department to serve seven years or less.

(2) The court at sentencing recommends that the offender be considered for participation in an intensive incarceration and parole supervision program.

(3) The sheriff's office of the parish finds, after an evaluation, that the offender is particularly likely to respond affirmatively to participation in such a program.

(4) The offender voluntarily enrolls in such a program after having been advised by the sheriff's office of the rules and regulations governing participation in such a program.

(1) The duration of any intensive incarceration shall not be less than two hundred seventy nor more than three hundred sixty-five days.

(2) The participating offender shall be evaluated by the program staff of the sheriff conducting the program on a continual basis throughout the entire period of intensive incarceration. The evaluation shall include the offender's performance while incarcerated, the likelihood of successful adjustment on parole, and other factors deemed relevant by the committee on parole and the program staff. The evaluation shall provide the basis for recommendations by the sheriff's office to the committee on parole upon the offender's successful completion of any intensive incarceration program. Violation of any institutional or program rules or regulations may subject the participant to removal from an intensive incarceration program.

(3) Upon completion of any intensive incarceration program, the committee on parole shall review the case of the offender and recommend that the offender be released on intensive parole supervision or that the offender serve the remainder of his sentence as provided by law.
