Former Warden Pat Book oversaw the Catahoula Correctional Center during a period marked by multiple inmate deaths, including that of Montrell Rogers in October 2023. Under his administration, there were reports of at least two inmate deaths, twenty stabbings in a single month, and instances of inmates being beaten by both fellow inmates and guards. These incidents raise serious concerns about the management and safety protocols within the facility.
