I think there was one in Port Allen where the American Legion building is. They used to work in the sugar cane fields in the area.

Yep. My grandpa tells the story that he used to deliver newspapers to the guards there. He says that many of the POWs knew English and would smoke cigarettes and bullshite with the guards most days.
