quote:not sure if you are joking, but this absolutely happened. Some guards just completely quit and left their post. The electricity shut off and water started rising. There were hundreds of people in the Old Parish, HOD, Conchetta, that were just locked in cells with no one to let them out for a couple days.
In New Orleans, they make sure the door's locked tight and walk away.

Yeah I'm sure the let em drown crowd has never ever had a couple beers and got behind the wheel either.

Solution: move the death row inmates to the lower floor

I actually read last night that as hurricane Camille was approaching one of the city jails in Mississippi released everyone.

They'll pack them up and ship them to wherever they can. Other state facilities and parish jails. In my experience since Katrina, they do a good job of keeping track of everything and where everyone goes. It has been done plenty of times before. I don't know about the death row inmates at Angola; I don't think they've been moved. I've only dealt with places like Hunts.

Some of the ones in New Orleans were chained together on an overpass after Katrina.

OPP prisoners were on an overpass for a long time.

They should evacuate them to low lying areas.

Not sure about hurricanes, but I was in Northern California a few years back during the wildfires. The only room I could find available in one small town was a dumpy Ramada. The place was full of evacuated CDOC prisoners. Guards were in folding chairs every 5 or six doors, and there were bed checks just about every hour that involved beating on doors and loud yelling.

Never. I'm not dumb and don't want to die.

a family member of mine used to be the warden at the Mobile County jail in Bama. They evac'd all their inmates to an elementary school where they set up a temporoay holding facility. The jail in mobile is right on the bay.

Jails are built a lot tougher than the local walmart and usually have a large food supply.They also have a generator at most of them.
During Hurricane Ivan we lost cable TV but I some how survived.

When my dad was in basic training at Relaxin' Fort Jackson, they sent them out to sandbag a levee during a hurricane. During the worst of it they put on their helmets, linked arms, and at down with their backs to the wind.

Yep

Wasn't there a story after Katrina that some guy had been arrested for a DUI the night before The storm hit, was at OPP and ended up getting relocated to Angola for like 4 months ?
Talk about wrong place, wrong time.

They didn't evacuate LPDC last year until there was 2' of water in the jail.
