    Thanks for the additional context! Sounds like Louisiana has an issue with prison management at both adult and juvenile detention centers

      Yeah Louisiana is a shithole in a lot of regards. Their prisons are god awful third world hell holes.

      I’m absolutely not defending how prisoners, teens or adults, are treated there. It’s abhorrent and the Feds should step in and put some heads on pikes over it.

      I’m just saying the article is using “children” pretty loosely here to put an image in your head. These aren’t innocent scared little kids. These are teenagers that have committed very violent crimes including attempted murder.
