Background
East Carroll Parish Detention Center is a parish jail in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana, housing more than 400 inmates at a time in the 1990s and 2000s. In 1995, the Louisiana Department of Corrections conducted surprise inspections at East Carroll, and found that some inmates did unapproved work, kept and tested positive for marijuana use. In the 1990s, the jail was owned by East Carroll Corrections Systems, and operated by sheriff Dale Rinicker, while he was under indictment for mail fraud and money laundering. Rinicker pled guilty in 1997, and agreed to testify against Jack Wyly and Dorothy Morgel, the president and secretary of East Carroll Corrections Systems. All three were fined and served prison sentences.
