History[edit]
In 1904, the Louisiana State Reform School for Boys opened in Monroe housing only white boys. It was renamed Louisiana Training Institute for Boys in 1908. When fire destroyed the administration building in November 1912, the records were lost, and the school disbanded until 1915 when it was reopened. Today it is known as Swanson Center for Youth.
