The Louisiana juvenile justice system has long been plagued by sexual abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of the children in its care. From physical and sexual abuse by staff to illegal solitary confinement and inadequate medical care, these facilities have subjected vulnerable youth to traumatizing conditions that violate their rights. Numerous lawsuits and investigations have shed light on the systemic failures within Louisiana’s juvenile detention centers, and survivors are now stepping forward to demand accountability.

The crisis within Louisiana’s juvenile detention system is not a new development but rather the result of decades of systemic failures, mismanagement, and an entrenched culture of neglect and abuse. The state’s juvenile justice facilities have been repeatedly criticized for subjecting children to inhumane treatment, failing to provide necessary rehabilitation services, and operating with little transparency or accountability. Reports of excessive force, sexual abuse, solitary confinement, and denial of medical and mental health care have surfaced across multiple facilities, painting a disturbing picture of a system that prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation. For years, advocacy groups and legal experts have sounded the alarm, urging Louisiana officials to take action.  But meaningful reforms have been slow to materialize. It is has been two steps forward, two steps back,  leaving thousands of vulnerable children still at risk.

If you or a loved one has suffered abuse in a Louisiana juvenile detention center or residential treatment facility, you have legal options. Our firm is committed to holding institutions accountable for their failures to protect children and ensuring that survivors receive the justice and settlement compensation they deserve.
