Please Support Families and Friends of Louisiana’s Incarcerated Youth

This grassroots, inter-generational organization works to transform the systems that put children at risk of prison. Through empowerment, leadership development, and training, FFLIC strives to keep children from going to prison and supports those who have and their families.

Research by health care experts shows that incarcerated populations are most at risk during a public health crisis. Behind bars, youth are not able to participate in proactive measures to keep themselves safe, such as social distancing, frequently washing hands, or staying in sanitized spaces. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, FFLIC is calling on policymakers to protect youth under the supervision of the juvenile justice system.
