BAKER, La. (WAFB) - A public meeting to discuss the relocation of juvenile detainees from the Bridge Center for Youth to the Jetson Youth Correctional Center has been postponed until September.
Leaders report the meeting was rescheduled to Monday, Sept. 19 due to the pending federal lawsuit that has been filed against the Office of Juvenile Justice and the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
