Children at Angola? Is your government attempting to reclaim the vibrant legacy of medieval barbarity in the criminal justice system?

This is heartbreaking. I thought better of Gov. Edwards that he would do something like this.

Locking up children is already a terrible idea. Sending them to the worst prison in America is criminal.

Other solutions must be found to sending kids to Angola. This will ensure that Louisiana will be trading future criminals in the worst way.

Shame on anyone who doesn’t think America is depraved for permitting this abuse of minors!

The idea of sending juvenile offenders to The World’s Deadliest Adult Prison is truly draconian.

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.

If the state of Louisiana wants to be in the business of building hardened criminals, then by all means treat juveniles like adult criminals. If they want a restorative process that returns healthy young people to society, do otherwise.

Not even adults of the worst kind should be Angola Prison.

Albert Woodfox spent 43 years of his precious life in this hellhole; he died recently after spending only the last 7 years of his life as a free man. His legacy was a strong and courageous fight for survival for himself and his fellow inmates; read his remarkable story in his book 'Solitary'. I would like to ask Governor Edwards if he would be perfectly happy sending his own kids to Angola and how much money he receives under the table for keeping this death camp alive.

This is the wrong thing to do and hateful. It will only make the lives of these boys & young men worse. They need positive guidance to become productive citizens.

Actual living people are not disposable. There must be equal protection for all actual living persons under science-based rule of law.
