I'm not down with OPP.
Louisiana! Where everything is negotiable.

When their current terms are up, they run for some other office, and they get it.
New Orleans is no different from any other democrat sh*thole.
“...improve conditions at the Orleans Parish Prison”
Sounds like conditions are pretty good already. What more do they want?
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Dare we ask what race of people are in the article?
Don’t tell me the inmates have their own Youtube channel.
After looting the stores during Katrina, the boys in blue ought to have some good wares to sell.
Wait. What - no whores? Or didn’t they show that part?
Your tax dollars at work...
Isn’t New Orleans kinda like Detroit?
I can’t say as I’ve not been to Detroit. however I did live in New Orleans in the city itself for 14 years, and it was Hell.
I was the victim of crime, my neighbors were victims, one of them murdered, I witnessed a number of crimes including car theft, hit and run, assault with a deadly weapon (ak-47), murder...I mean this is a place I will never return to again.
