RS 15:824
B.(1)(a) In the event any individual has been committed to the department for confinement which is or has been delayed or prevented after final sentence by court order restricting the department from institutionalizing the individual, or when the individual is not institutionalized in a state penal or corrections institution because of lack of facilities under the control of the department, or the department otherwise refused to accept the individual for confinement, which resulted or has resulted in the individual being confined in a parish jail or institution after final sentence, or when he is being held in the parish jail without bail, pending an appeal, or when he is a participant in a Blue Walters Substance Abuse Program by order of a court in lieu of revocation of probation or by the committee on parole in lieu of revocation of parole, the department shall pay to each parish sheriff, or to the governing authority of those parishes in which the governing authority operates the parish jail, for keeping and feeding the individual in the parish jail the sum of twenty-five dollars and thirty-nine cents per day for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, the sum of twenty-six dollars and thirty-nine cents per day for Fiscal Year 2020-2021, and each fiscal year thereafter. Such daily sum shall be paid from date of sentencing until the individual is confined in a penal or correctional institution under the supervision of the department. The department shall work with sheriffs, or the governing authority of those parishes in which the governing authority operates the parish jail, to ensure that the basic jail guidelines are amended by December 31, 2020, to specifically provide for treatment and educational programming for individuals confined in a parish jail or institution.

The department is authorized to pay the same amount as provided for in Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph per inmate per day housed by a parish prison on behalf of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
