Description
The troubled Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice sent a letter to judges across the state notifying them its teen prisons are full and it doesn’t have the space to house new inmates.
Wednesday, Orleans Juvenile Court judges appeared before the city council budget committee. Chief Judge Ranord Darensburg warned that some arrested young people may have to be released, even if judges feel they present a danger to the community.
