The Ouachita Parish Police Jury will spend roughly $500,000 on a new 100-bed facility at the Ouachita Correctional Center.

The police jury approved the expenditure Monday during its regular meeting.

OCC Warden Brian Newcomer said OCC currently has 962 beds at the jail, but prison officials are having difficulty accommodating all male prisoners.
