Full submission form

Tallulah Correctional Center for Youth was a juvenile correctional facility in Tallulah, Louisiana, operated by State of Louisiana. It operated from 1994 to 2004.

About Tallulah Correctional Center for Youth

It opened November 1994 as a privately operated youth prison on the western edge of Tallulah (Wikipedia, Tallulah, Louisiana). The state took over in 1999 and renamed it Swanson Correctional Center for Youth/Madison Parish Unit; the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2003 required it to close by the end of 2004 (Wikipedia). The site later became the Louisiana Transitional Center for Women (Wikipedia).

CSC's 1998 annual report called it the largest privately run juvenile facility in the country (Encyclopedia.com CSC history). Trans-American Development Associates built it; three of its executives received $8.7 million from the deal between 1995 and 2001 (IPS).

Reporting this program

This program closed in 2004, so the state agency that licensed it can no longer act against it. Other channels may still be able to: the boards that license the people who worked here, law enforcement, and the civil courts.

The Louisiana reporting channels list each one and what it can do. Time limits depend on the state, the kind of harm and the survivor's age, and many states have lengthened or removed them for child sexual abuse, so a program closing long ago does not by itself mean it is too late. Laws change, so the time limits we list were correct when we checked them but may have been updated since; a lawyer can tell you where things stand now.
