The Tangipahoa Parish Prison is a medium-security detention center located at 15475 Club Deluxe Rd Hammond, LA which is operated locally by the Tangipahoa Parish County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Tangipahoa Parish County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Hammond Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
The Tangipahoa Parish Prison can house a maximum capacity of 504 men and 22 women prisoners. A majority of the prisoners held at the jail are parish detainees awaiting court appearances. Trustees of the jail perform janitorial services at the parish courthouse, firing range and handle the cleaning and laundry chores at the prison. In addition, there is a trustee crew that is assigned to the Tangipahoa Parish School Board and another group of trustees periodically works on "litter crews" to keep the parish roads and highways clean.
