The Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice (OJJ) is a state agency responsible for overseeing the juvenile justice system in Louisiana. Its primary mission is to provide rehabilitation and support for youth offenders, ensuring they have access to education, mental health services, and life skills training. The OJJ aims to reduce recidivism and promote positive outcomes for young people in the justice system. The OJJ operates various facilities and programs designed to address the needs of at-risk youth. These include community-based services, secure care facilities, and aftercare programs that help reintegrate youth into society. By focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment, the OJJ seeks to foster a safer and more supportive environment for young individuals.
