Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, in partnership with God Behind Bars, hosted a father-daughter dance on Saturday.
God Behind Bars is an organization that partners with churches and ministries nationwide to help meet the needs of incarcerated individuals and their families. The organization said the first annual Daddy Daughter Dance inside the Angola facility reunited fathers who had not seen their daughters in years.
“When I turned around and saw my baby in that dress and she busted out crying…I sobbed, man, and I ain’t no crier. We slow-danced and she was crying again. I said, ‘Baby, why you crying?’ and she said, ‘Dad, I finally get a chance to dance with you for the first time.’” I told my brothers, ‘Look, brother…this’ll make you want to do right. If you ain’t doing right, bro, you got to do right,’” Leslie, an incarcerated father, said in a statement sent to Newsweek.
Why It Matters
God Behind Bars said the dance gave incarcerated fathers the opportunity to reconnect with their daughters.
“Children with incarcerated parents are among the most vulnerable in America. Events like this matter deeply. Research shows that fatherless daughters face higher risks of low self-esteem, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and incarceration,” God Behind Bars said.
Louisiana State Penitentiary Assistant Warden Anne-Marie Easely said in a statement sent to Newsweek, “It is so important for fathers to be involved in their daughters’ lives no matter where they are in order to break the cycle of incarceration, instill self-confidence and so many other things that fatherless daughters are more susceptible to.”
What To Know
A total of 37 daughters, from ages 5 to 20, and 29 fathers attended the dance. Professional makeup artist Jessica Haynes and others helped the daughters get ready for the event. Volunteers painted the daughters’ nails and touched up their hair.
The fathers were fitted in custom tuxedos donated by Amor Suits months before the event.
The prison’s Seminary Lecture Room transformed into a dance venue with decor and floral arrangements. Families shared a Thanksgiving meal together.
The fathers also prepared a choreographed dance for their daughters.
Each daughter received a gift bag with hair and beauty products donated by T3 Micro and a bible donated by Hosanna Revival.
What People Are Saying
Kevin, an incarcerated father, in a statement sent to Newsweek: “We’re supposed to be the worst of the worst and the hardest of the hardest…and we walk around like that sometimes. Seeing all of us together with our kids, the loves of our lives, with no masks…that was cool.”
Jake Bodine, founder of God Behind Bars, in a statement sent to Newsweek: “It’s hard to put into words what took place at the first ever Daddy Daughter Dance inside Angola prison. I watched a group of men stand with pride and dignity, shedding every label the world had ever put on them. For one night they were not inmates. They were Dad. And the empty places in every heart were filled with joy, laughter, and a love only God can author.”

College savings accounts not affected by cyber incident, Louisiana official says | New Orleans CityBusiness
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
After taking its 529 college savings accounts offline in October following a cyber incident, the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance announced Tuesday the accounts are back online and were not impacted.
A third-party analysis into the incident found the state-hosted START 529 college savings accounts were not involved, LOFSA interim director Susannah Craig said in an email to account holders. They were taken offline in consultation with the Louisiana State Police and the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, she added.
All pending account transactions have been processed, Craig said, and any users with automatic deposits set up have been informed how to make one-time payments to replace those skipped during the account freeze.
The cyber incident has not formally been described as a hack or a cyber attack, though officials said more details will be released when the investigation is complete.
BATON ROUGE, La. (KALB) – Louisiana’s top health official is stepping down from his post to take on a new role at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Ralph Abraham, Louisiana’s Surgeon General, will serve as the agency’s principal deputy director.
A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed the appointment to NBC News, though it hadn’t been made public as of Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Earlier this year, Abraham directed Louisiana’s Health Department to cease promoting mass vaccination, advising patients to consult their doctors about vaccinations instead.
This internal memo, dated February 13, coincided with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s swearing-in as HHS Secretary.
Meanwhile, the CDC has been without a permanent director since August, when Kennedy removed Dr. Susan Monarez.
Governor Jeff Landry has not yet announced a successor to Dr. Abraham.
