Reply to comment by InflationOk300 in Louisiana's juvenile detention centers filled to capacity; state asking judges to let some out of jail by InflationOk300
> OJJ says it plans to start filing motions requesting releases for some inmates whom the agency believes can be "safely reintegrated" back into the community.
why are a bunch of kids they, the people responsible for punishing them, believe are capable of being safely reintegrated not already out of prison ...
why does any prison have any significant population of CHILDREN deemed safe to be reintegrated by the same people whose job it is to make sure thats the case

I don’t think the people running the prison decide sentences for the offenders

Wellllllllll… google “cash for kids.”
Directly bribing judges to convict more children is actually the smaller problem. The bigger problem is the sickening amount of money the prison industry pours into politics. Gotta keep people scared and “tough on crime,” can’t let the putting-humans-in-cages business dry up!

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
