However, this was only the beginning of an extremely dramatic day at the juvenile detention center which sits on the banks of the Mississippi River.

Prison security called for a SWAT team for reinforcement just before midnight as a fight broke out when inmates attempted to take over control from prison guards.

 

According to police reports, the issue was quickly resolved, however that 16 year old male inmate from Tangipahoa Parish is still on the loose. Anyone with information is asked to call local law enforcement immediately, or the Command Center at 504-401-3359.
