OJJ policy states that children can be sent to Angola from other facilities for any number of reasons, including committing certain acts of violence against a staff member or possessing marijuana. Even kids determined to have a serious mental illness or “significant developmental disabilities” can be transferred to the unit.

Charles C. was hospitalized at 10 years old and diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, according to a previous statement submitted to the court. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after being shot at age 13 and has been hospitalized several times for mental health crises.

Ah yes, let's starve our children and put them in oven jail... Because of weed and mental health. That sounds healthy.

For those wondering, it seems to be this prison run by the state of Louisiana https://doc.louisiana.gov/location/louisiana-state-penitentiary/

Oh and this is in Louisiana, USA. Not Angola the country in Africa just in case you missed that.

In addition to the unbearable heat, Charles reported that a staff member had thrown him against the wall, which made him bleed. He said he’d been denied access to educational programs and is often hungry because he doesn’t have enough food.

This is so inhumane. It's the kind of stuff you'd expect of third world dictatorships. Fix your shit America, seriously.

The cruelty is the point. God, I hate the world at times

"potentially" eat shit, whoever typed this

The cruel temperatures aside, can we not talk about the idea of children's prisons? It just feels wrong. They are kids. likely older kids, but still just fucking kids.
