Corrections seeking an additional $21 5 billion to attract and retain employees

Baton Rouge / louisianaradionetwork.com Mar 16, 2021 7:47 PM The Louisiana Department of Corrections is seeking an additional $21.5 million in the next fiscal year budget. DOC Undersecretary Thomas Bickham said the figure represents what the department usually spends on overtime. “We typically get caught up in what’s called the Supplemental Appropriation at the end of the fiscal year. So, what this is, is an attempt by the administration (Edwards) to go ahead and fund us at the beginning of the year for an expense that we know that we’re going to have,” said Bickham. Bickham said the department currently needs to fill about 36-percent of their mandatory guard positions which means employees are having to work overtime to make up for the shortage.
