Description
The first wave of juvenile offenders has now left the Bridge City Center for Youth.
Sen. Pat Connick, R-Marrero, whose district includes the juvenile jail, said ten inmates were transferred to a new temporary juvenile facility at Angola at 5:45 a.m. Tuesday.
“This morning the Office of Juvenile Justice transferred several high-risk juveniles from the Bridge City youth center to Angola,” Connick said. “This is good news for the Bridge City community and hopefully it will give those juveniles who want to change their lives a chance to do so.”
Senator Connick says the Bridge City Center for Youth is not capable of housing such violent offenders.
