Today, there are more than 500 pre-trial detainees incarcerated at the parish prison, or commonly known today as Ouachita Correctional Center.

The Ouachita Parish Police Jury agreed to spend $1.4 million in hazard mitigation funding for three off-road drainage projects.
Action was taken Monday during the police jury's regular meeting.
Last month, the parish received the $1.4 million Hazard Mitigation Grant from the state.  Gov. Bobby Jindal presented it during a speaking engagement at the Monroe Rotary Club. The money was allocated to Ouachita Parish through the Louisiana Recovery Authority and the governor's Office of Homeland Security.
