We are Louisiana Voices! Join us and help others fight for the rights all citizens should have!
We organized to ensure that legislative and law enforcement means are used rationally and effectively to protect community safety. We also exist to educate the public and lawmakers about relative risk levels and recidivism rates among criminal offenders. We are a leading resource for ex-offenders and their families. We work with law enforcement, the criminal justice system, researchers, mental health professionals, victims and victim advocates to ensure that our public policymakers take actions that truly enhance community safety.
We demonstrate that ex-offenders succeed in therapy and successfully reintegrate into our communities. In providing information about where to go for employment, housing, medical, spiritual and legal assistance, We help ex-offenders and their families lead successful and safe lives.
We believe that every child has the right to feel safe in their own home, neighborhood, school, church, and community. Indeed, We extends this desire for safety to every member of the community.
We understand that Louisiana's current mechanisms of registration, travel and residency restriction, for those individuals who have been determined to pose no risk to children or the community, are ineffective, a misuse of tax dollars, and are shown to put children and the community at greater risk. Louisiana's current mechanisms of registration, travel and residency restriction promote homelessness and joblessness, destabilizing family lives. These understandings are based on sound research and empirical evidence. We understand that first time, non-violent offenders have a recidivism rate that is among the lowest of all categories of crime. We understand that young and first time offenders respond well to treatment.
We do NOT support the legalization of any crime or behavior between adults and minors. However, we support effective legislation that includes education, treatment, and proportional sentencing.
We are not associated or affiliated with any other organization. We work towards fact and evidence based statutes and regulations that recognize that sex offense, at any level, is unacceptable and that there are individuals who pose a serious risk to our communities. In that recognition, We seek effective legislation that:
- Recognizes the low recidivism rate of first time offenders;
- Recognizes the effectiveness of therapy and treatment for first time offenders who have committed non-violent offenses and/or non-contact offenses.
- Supports proportional sentencing that recognizes violent offenses, abuse of authority offenses, and use of manipulation or coercion deserve serious punishment.
We Stand Together With All Concerned Citizens Seeking Solutions to Establish Safe Communities.
Important Notice
We do not support and are not members of such groups that support criminal activity of any sort, especially with children in any way, shape or form. We do Not support groups such as NAMBLA, Boychat or any group like these.
