Naquail Weaver wasn’t expecting to be home with his family for Christmas. The 22-year-old was in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, held on a $3,000 bail with expectations of a release sometime in early January.  But Weaver got to spend the holidays with his fiancée and his 3-month-old son after students from LSU’s Democracy at Work paid his bond on the morning of Dec. 25.  Weaver was one of six prisoners the organization freed by using profits from t-shirts it sold on Etsy.  “Sometimes I still think, ‘I’m not supposed to be home,’” Weaver said. “But God answered my prayers and those people came through.” 

Louisiana corrections system faces probe over prisoner release delays

Pexels.com The U.S. Justice Department has launched a probe into practices within the Louisiana Department of Corrections that critics say have kept inmates behind bars long past their release dates. The Special Litigation Section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is conducting the statewide probe into prisoner release procedures, according to a Dec. 3 news release. Federal officials have not reached any conclusions about Louisiana prison practices, the news release said, but compliance with the federal Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA) will be examined by investigators. “The department has conducted CRIPA investigations of many correctional systems, and where violations have been found, the resulting settlement agreements have led to important reforms,” the Justice Department’s statement said.
