Reply to comment by Peoplegottabefree in Louisiana's juvenile detention centers filled to capacity; state asking judges to let some out of jail by InflationOk300

Highly doubt any of them are in there for weed. More like homicide, aggravated assault, carjacking, 1st degree assault, rape…you know, things that people should be incarcerated for

Louisiana is notoriously harsh with drug convictions. Probably a fair few in there for weed.

I looked it up out of curiosity. possession of a half ounce or more is up to 6 months in jail for the 1st conviction, and the jail time goes way up for multiple offenses.
