Please Help Us Stop Kids From Being Sent To The World’s Deadliest Adult Prison

This broke me when I heard it. Will forward and post

A tragic policy that will not only expose the transferred youth to potential physical and sexual violence but will erase any chance that the youths will be able to change the trajectory of their lives to a positive direction.

Please do not allow juvenile offenders to be assigned to Angola prison. This is shameful!

Please understand these are young minds and teens should not be housed in a place that was formerly used for death row.

This is the most disturbing thing I've ever heard. If this happens, it would be a discrase in the least.

Keep 12 year olds out of former death row facilities.

Least restrictive environments for all!

I have visited death row in Angola prison. It's one of the worst most inhuman places in the world -- unfit for adults much less children! This is obscene and inhumane. It reflects badly on our country and is a sad statement with regard to civil rights or our citizens that we treat our children this way.

Terrible

I am outraged by this. Governor John Bel Edwards must be stopped!

Governor, your faith teaches that you can do better by our youth.

This has to stop. Reconnect to your humanity, Governor Edwards! For God's sake.

This insane to send children to a former slave plantation and death row for inmates. My God My God

THIS IS WRONG!!!

We need better services for children in need, not prisons.

This is unconscionable and disgusting behaviour by adults against children.

Children DO NOT belong in Angola!

Please don't do this to these young men. We k ow that they have done wrong, but they deserve to have a safe place to serve their time and receive proper treatment and counseling.

This is racism at its worst. These kids need help not further trauma. Society must pay for improvements now or we will pay much more in the future in wasted talent and opportunities.

NO child should be in Angola. Full stop.
