Do you support the Raise the Age Act? Louisiana State Senate passed Bill 324 that would charge 17-year-old offenders as minors, not adults. Seventeen year olds who commit delinquent acts will be transferred to the authority of the juvenile justice system, rather than trying them as adults.

Yes. Adult prisons are too harsh for 17 year old offenders.
No. If you're old enough to commit the crime, then the offender should face adult consequences.
