Dixon Correctional Institute (DCI) is a state-operated correctional facility located in Jackson, Louisiana. Managed by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, the institution houses adult male offenders across multiple custody levels and plays a significant role in Louisiana’s correctional system.

Originally established to provide secure confinement while supporting offender rehabilitation, Dixon Correctional Institute has grown into one of Louisiana’s larger correctional facilities.

Housing units, support facilities, and specialized program areas are designed to meet the needs of a diverse inmate population with varying custody classifications.

Security remains a primary focus at DCI.
