The Louisiana Prison Chapel Foundation was started by a group of committed Christians from all walks of life that are working to build places of worship in our Louisiana Prisons.

Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco and Mr. Raymond S. Blanco serve as Honorary Chaircouple; Former Governor and Mrs. Murphy J. Foster & Mr. George E. Foreman serve as Honorary Board Members with a 14 member Board of Directors representing a wide spectrum of Christian denominations and areas of the State.

The Louisiana Department of Corrections, including the Wardens, and the prison Chaplains are working together with the Board to support this important project.

Incorporated in 1998, Louisiana Prison Chapel Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit statewide Christian ecumenical organization. The Executive Director is the only salaried position in the Foundation.


The foundation plans on building 14 Chapels. Inmate labor is used, representing a significant savings in construction costs. 9 chapels have already been completed. and four more are under construction!
