Lafourche Parish District Attorney's Office

PTI

The Pre-Trial Intervention Program (PTI) offers first time, non-violent offenders a chance to avoid jail time and also serves to discourage future criminal or disorderly behavior. It provides alternatives to jail, such as community service and restitution. Participation in educational as well as rehabilitative programs is often required.

To be eligible for participation in this program, one must be a first time, non-violent offender. Participants are selected following a review of pending charges by District Attorney staff. After all facts are obtained and a more in depth review of offender's criminal history is conducted, a letter scheduling an appointment with the PTI Coordinator is sent to the offender.

If you have any questions regarding the PTI program, the Director may be reached at (985) 447-2003.
