No kids in Angola. Invest in Louisiana’s kids, families, and communities instead.

Saving Money on Youth Education/Rehabilitation Is The Mark of a Failing Society. Not One Stands Taller Than Those Who Stoop To Serve Our Youth

I can't believe we have to explain why Angola is no place for children. Absolutely speechless. No one should be there, especially not kids.

This decision would not only be inhumane, it would not improve the safety or well-being of the people of Louisiana overall. Protect Louisianans by investing in our youth and communities.

Rehab, not punishment. Children have no place in the former death row building in an adult prison. Such a move will cause irreparable psychological damage.

It is inhumane to have children at Angola Prison. They need mental healthcare in an environment that doesn’t increase their trauma.

Kids do not need to go to this facility. They are children.

What a disastrous decision. No child belongs in an adult prison, where they will be raped.

I’m appalled! Gov . Edwards where’s the humanity in this. I know you to be a prayerful God fearing man!
