Reflecting the historic dominance of the Catholic church in south Louisiana, St. Augustine Church was built in the early 1950s and is staffed by the Roman Catholic Church. The New Life Interfaith Chapel was dedicated in 1982.<ref name="Photoalbum"/>

In the 2000s the main prison church, the churches for Camps C and D, and a grounds chapel were constructed as part of an effort<!-- by whom? --> to build chapels for every state-run prison facility. A staff and family of staff chapel was also under construction. Outside donations and ticket sales from the prison rodeo funded these churches.<ref name="Activities"/> The Camp C Chapel and the B-Line Chapel were both dedicated the same day.<ref name="CampCBLineChap">"[http://corrections.state.la.us/lsp/press_release.php#chapeldedications Chapel Dedications at Louisiana's Maximum-Security Prison] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101023065112/http://www.corrections.state.la.us/LSP/press_release.php#chapeldedications |date=October 23, 2010 }}."
