The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Foil urges the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to make the monthly Report of the Offender Census at Local Correctional Facilities and the underlying census data available for public download in Microsoft Excel format. This report includes important information about the prison population in Louisiana, detailing the number of individuals housed in local facilities managed by parish and municipal governments, as well as those held on behalf of other agencies such as the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the United States Marshals Service.

The resolution emphasizes that the data contained in the report and the department's informational dashboards is public record and is already provided in response to public records requests. By allowing public access to this data in a downloadable format, the resolution aims to enhance transparency and accessibility for citizens interested in understanding the state's correctional system. A copy of the resolution will be sent to James M. LeBlanc, the secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, to ensure that the request is formally communicated.
