Why the frick would you build on the RIVER side of the levee?

And someone is calling in some favors from the Sheriff's office to get inmate labor on private residences...

I drive by it everyday going home and ask my self the same thing. It would be one thing if the neighborhood was run down houses that had been there for 50 years. But these are all newer houses (not even 5 years old). They have a few shells going up right now.

Sheriff in Bossier brings out the inmates every time it floods. And why wouldn't he? Normally I would see your point about using inmate labor for private purposes but in this case the citizens pay for the inmates to live through property taxes. Seems fair the inmates should work to preserve the property that generates those taxes. If they were digging the guy a swimming pool or cutting his grass it would be different.

Meh. I actually don't have a huge problem with this. Taxpayers pay for every minute of a prisoner's life. A free-labor loan program isn't a terrible idea.

I don't see a problem with inmates helping out taxpayers.
