If you have 100 teens in a juvenile facilities and 20 of them is causing a mayhem have someone with a checker pass come speak with them and then send them to an adult prison with a journal book for roughly 2 weeks write about experience with a goal change ..As they are in the adult prison still watch over them but not treat them exactly like the adult inmates .. Just sharing some type of resolution ..What happened to scared straight type like programs ..

what the hell is wrong with the judicial system? These people need to be locked up for child abuse.
What about Sen Kennedy from Louisiana. He should take action
They also can't hide behind not understanding what they are doing to the children and the severe consequences of locking them up. They know the harm they are causing again it's for profit to have lifetime inmates.
They need bodies to make profit so they make sure they have them it's sick and breaks my heart ♥
The real criminals don't go to jail, they just suck off the cop.
Unbelievable.
Our youth are also going thru tuff time. They need compassion and a beter relationship with GOD or no matter what faith you believe.
Atheist Community also.
WE RE 🇺🇸 . We The People are The Gov .
"Louisiana is the only state in the nation that is giving a state-level board the authority to grant tax exemptions for local entities' property taxes." — return on investment for Louisiana is purposely unknown because those on the Board of Commerce & Industry don't follow rules and include it in their reports. There's not been a cost-benefit analysis for nearly 90 years. ITEP approval rates @ 99.95% approved. Louisiana's sales-tax being high, due to trying to make up for the missing property taxes, hits the poorest the hardest since the rich pull more from tax-exempt operations.

They use to make the parents responsible for their children. How can you punish a child the same way we punish adults. These kids have no understanding of what the consequences of their crimes
Putting children in a adult prison is worse then any other country in the world
So sad 😥… Theres no reason this life on earth should be driving faster to a literal hell on earth. Love should prevail.
Common sense is not conducive with Louisiana’s “superior” race. Take a good look at what’s representing LA in the federal government. I purposely said “what’s” rather than “who’s” because to me, they’re a far cry from human.
NOLA crime has gone up 300%. 1 in 5 people are victims. When you commit a crimes repeatedly, and have no respect for anyone, then lock em up. If they haven't learned their lesson on the street they can learn their lesson with hardcore criminals.
The jail system is a money making system, so they really don’t want to help them, the more crime, everyone gets paid..
The State has too much money to not invest in their youth.. This narrative must change, if not the crime will get worst.
It's kind of hard to say not to lock these children up in jail when you have these kids breaking out of the youth facilities and committing serious crimes as murder and shooting people with guns to steal a car at this point what do we do with these kids that just refuse to do the right thing and killing people on the street everyday should the community suffer because the social worker feel is doing that kids shouldn't be locked up
Those kids were doing everything under the sun. They out if control and robbing people for JUST BECAUSE!!. You have to be from here New Orleans to truly understand why the decision was made.
LET THEM SEE THEIR FUTURE WHILE THEY'RE IN ANGOLA. IF ANGOLA DOESN'T CHANGE THEM NOTHING WILL..
I say put them in general population with the killers, etc.. Hopefully that will make them change their minds….
Well if they acted like kids they would be treated like kids…
I used to be against locking up youth for extended periods of time and that was because I was locked up for juvenile life in the late 90's but now the way the world is today I'm for all ages of youth if u do the crime u do the time no exceptions
Let me make it plain for my own comprehension mostly :
Good or not so-good as it was in Abraham’s time in his mother’s womb , and in the time of Moses , Jesus and Muhammad likewise .
“THRY WANT YS DEAD !!!!! BY ANY SND ALL NEANS NECESSARY (in cide) 🤫.
Need we / they continue another 6000 years to keep saying more ?
Separation , atonement , unity and doing for self . B1 . Amin and Shalom .
The real talk is that Kids are robbing, raping, and killing as other barbaric adults do any this country. It's not the government's job to raise, reteach or train children. I'm sorry, but what people forget about in these equations of sympathizing with troubled teens is justice for the victims and their families. These young men and women are able to produce seeds of their own and walk the earth lawless and destroying lives and families and we have individuals sympathizing with them because our government refers to them as juveniles. I'm sorry I don't sympathize with these young men and women raised in such a way that threatens the existence of human society. When I see stories in new Orleans of teens being sentenced as juveniles for killing and raping individuals and getting out in their early 20s it is saddening. I know a woman who stays in the same community as the now man who killed her son as a juvenile. She gets to watch him still run the streets selling drugs and hear stories about him getting different girls pregnant, while her only son is dead. #WHERE_IS_HER_JUSTICE!
