Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards is planning to move kids to the largest prison in the country, Angola. This would make him the first governor in modern American history to move children to the grounds of a maximum-security adult prison.
Under Governor Edwards’ unprecedented plan, kids will be housed in Angola’s former death row. Kids who have not been convicted of a crime will be housed in the same cells that previously held condemned men.
Angola is a symbol of white supremacy and racial oppression, as it has transformed from slave plantation, to labor camp for convict leasing and now, the nation’s largest prison known for its human rights abuses. There is a direct line between slavery and Governor Edward’s plan to move mostly Black boys onto the grounds of Angola.
Louisiana was once a national youth justice leader, investing in a system based in rehabilitation, treatment and care. It can be again, if Governor Edwards makes a different choice and invests in kids, hope and care, instead of punishment.

I am a retired school psychologist writing to express my deep concern, even horror that young people would be sent to Angola. I have seen first hand the terrible consequences of kids sent to adult prisons. Please do not go forward with this plan!
Angola is a prison on a former plantation that is notorious for its treatment of inmates, its ongoing use of prisoners for nearly free labor, and its horrifying rodeo that maims prisoners. Please do not send young people to this awful place.
As a mother, I can not imagine my child going to bed every night in this dangerous prison. I can not imagine my child living in a death row cell. The trauma this will cause is unacceptable and will only lead to far more damage to these kids and their families.
Children placed in adult prisons are more likely to be assaulted, sexually abused, and commit suicide. And recidivism rates increase compared to children who remain in the juvenile system! No child should be placed in an adult prison, especially Angola.
STOP THIS INJUSTICE NOW! No children (nor adult) should be subjected to Angola Prison's horrors.
Children do not belong in prisons-focus on a child's development, not on punishing them

Please don't moved these kids to Angola prison. Prison for young people should be about rehabilitation. Having had 2 sons, I know their brains aren't fully developed until 25 years of age! Please invest in making them productive members of society instead!
