Reply to comment by TheNewGirl_ in Louisiana's juvenile detention centers filled to capacity; state asking judges to let some out of jail by InflationOk300
To play devils advocate, I live in Baton Rouge and go to New Orleans frequently. There has been an alarming number of violent crimes committed by minors in the last 6 months. Tons of normal people in “safe” areas that are getting robbed, car jacked, and murdered at random. The NOLA DA has been in hot water for releasing many of these minors, with a laundry list of previous violent crimes, because of “insufficient evidence.” There was a random LSU student killed a few weeks ago, a lady killed filling her gas at Costco, and an old woman who had her arm ripped off and bled out in front of her neighbors from teenagers car jacking her.
Locking people up blindly and indefinitely is wrong, but releasing people has not made any progress of since COVID.

That has nothing to do with the issue I brought up
Were talking about kids already in prison where the people in charge of reforming them have explicitly said - these kids are safe to be reintegrated back to society
If anything if the kids Im talking about werent in Jail, there would be like more room for the kids you're talking about in there lol
