Actually, Plaquemines is one of my favorite places on the planet.

And the jail my be a bit much, and I imagine a whole bunch of Plaquemines Parish politicians’ brother-in-laws, first cousins and third cousins twice removed had the constriction the jail.

It's pity that the old Plaquemines Parish courthouse was destroyed - it was one of the older such buildings in the state. The old courthouse in Algiers (Orleans Parish West Bank) might be a bit older, but I'd guess the one in East Pointe à la Hache was built in the early 1900s.

The courthouse and parish jail were pretty much alone on that side of the river; you had to drive down to West Pointe à la Hache and take the ferry over. Thus, the courthouse hours were unofficially aligned with the ferry crossing intervals. I assume it's the same way with the new facility.
