Last year, Louisiana voted to treat 17 yos like adults in the criminal justice system. But federal law prohibits incarcerating juveniles w/adults.
To skirt around the issue, LA sheriffs demanded $3.5 million to build a jail just for 17 yos. And they got it. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/cons...

A reminder as the National Guard is weaponized against more cities:
Policing & crime do not go hand in hand. Incarceration rates in every single U.S. state are out of line with the entire world, and this disparity is not explainable by differences in crime or “violent crime.”
