LAFOURCHE PARISH JUVENILE JUSTICE FACILITY

Lafourche Parish Juvenile Justice Facility is a public school that is part of the Lafourche Parish school district, located in Thibodaux, LA offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade.

The Lafourche Parish Juvenile Justice Facility, located at 2525 Veterans Blvd. in Thibodaux, Louisiana, functions as a secure detention center designed for the temporary housing of minors who are awaiting court proceedings or disposition. Operated under the oversight of the Lafourche Parish government and the local judicial system, the facility provides a structured, custodial environment intended to ensure public safety while addressing the specific legal and developmental needs of youth involved in the juvenile justice system.

Beyond mere incarceration, the facility is mandated to provide necessary services for the youth in its care, including access to educational programming, mental health support, and basic rehabilitative services. The primary objective of the institution is to maintain a safe, secure atmosphere that upholds the constitutional rights of the residents while facilitating their eventual transition back into the community or to longer-term placement facilities, in accordance with Louisiana state laws governing juvenile detention.
