Orleans Parish Prison Update

August 31, 2005 – 2:02 pm

[September 9, 2005: UPDATE ~ Visit here to learn what the Southern Center for Human Rights is doing to help loved ones get in contact with their incarcerated relatives.]

Orleans_parish_prison Apparently a riot did break out at Orleans Parish Prison.  Authorities decided not to evacuate the prison, which later flooded with water from the broken levees.  I’ve learned that it stands in one of the lowest lying areas of New Orleans, near the Superdome.  Whether they have evacuated the prison or not, I cannot tell.

Michelle Malkin presents thorough info on the riot.  At least as far as it is possible to keep abreast of some very troubling news.  The ABC page she linked to is now dead.  A quick search of the ABC website resulted in 0 hits.

As I learn more, I will post it here. 

Orleans_parish_prisoners [UPDATE:  Prisoners being evacuated from Orleans Parish Prison, Wednesday, August 31, 2005.  Glad to see the mayor decided to do the right thing.....finally.]
