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

Youth can learn new behaviors!

No Kids in Angola please

As a teacher I've worked with difficult kids. This is not how we help them.

There is No reason no excuse that you can give send children into Angola. It is a shameful act and it is a poor use of our resources and wealth as a country. We should all be ashamed this needs to stop.

As a father this is deeply concerning

Please provide services like job training, apprenticeships, mental health services, for these children. This is not how we want to be seen to the rest of the world.

children need educational and mental health services and other rehabilitative programs not prison for Adults

Please don’t put kids in this prison. Incarcerating kids is inexcusable, especially in a penitentiary.

This sounds like an inhumane and racist decision. You must lead with love and compassion.

History will judge you harshley if you a participant/advocate for this atrocity.

Horrified that Louisiana thinks it’s ok to throw children away! Louisiana is heading for the dark ages

An atrocity and a human rights violation. Governor, you should be ashamed. Fix it now!

It may seem like a right thing to some - but is a wrong way!

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

Youth Public Defender

Children placed in adult prisons will only be harmed and will not make our communities safer. Kids do not belong in prison.

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.

Invest in kids - not in punishment!

Isolating these troubled teens from their families is not going to improve their outcomes.

No kids in Angola! In fact nobody should be held in Angola.
