It's going to depend almost entirely on what his "non violent computer crime" was. If it was a sex offense then that will play into where he's placed. His lengthy sentence will also play into it. Unfortunately you generally won't know where someone is going until they go through reception.

Right now they are going to place him wherever they have room for him. That could mean he could even be moved to a parish jail that houses inmates for the state. At this point, it's really a crap shoot.

No Helga, it's not only in Louisiana that it happens. It happened to my son in GA. The feds decided there was no evidence to support going after him but turned it over to the locals who did prosecute him.

Louisiana is in the process of making changes to their criminal justice attitude. I attended a seminar recently that outlined some of the things they're working on to make changes because the system they have isn't working. Here's a link to some info- https://www.businessreport.com/article/louisiana-business-groups-host-inaugural-criminal-justice-reform-summit

Keep your spirits up & hope that something changes. Check out the Woman Against Registry site & also the RSOL site for info that might give you hope.
