WBRZ Investigative Unit: More than 50 lawsuits allege sexual abuse by officers at EBR juvenile correctional facilityBATON ROUGE - Fifty-two lawsuits have been filed on behalf of victims who say they were abused by correctional officers while incarcerated at an East Baton Rouge Parish juvenile correctional facility. The alleged abuse happened in 1975, when the victim was 12. Correctional officers used solitary confinement as a punishment for juveniles who spoke up, multiple suits say. The facility opened in 1948 as a segregated juvenile correctional facility for Black minors, but was changed into the Louisiana Training Institute after desegregation in 1969.
