Is FEMA to blame for this, too?
With talk about the sexual abuse of the inmates isn't Mike Brown's nickname, "BROWNIE" a dead giveaway? He ran horse shows, too, didn't he? Hell, he HAS to be involved here SOMEHOW!
CERTAINLY the locals aren't at fault! 
Prison guards accused of abusing inmates in Louisiana
October 2, 2005
By DAVID ROHDE and CHRISTOPHER DREW The New York Times
Lawyers for inmates in Louisiana say that prison guards have been engaging in abuse of some of the nearly 8,000 prisoners who have been evacuated from flooded jails in the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina.
The allegations are contained in affidavits filed by lawyers who have interviewed thousands of inmates in recent weeks. The complaints include accusations that some guards in New Orleans left prisoners locked in their cells while floodwaters rose to their necks, and that others engaged in systematic beatings and sexual abuse.
The lawyers also estimate that as many as 2,000 people arrested for minor crimes just before the hurricane are still in prison five weeks later. They said that under normal circumstances, such low-level offenders would have seen a judge and been released within days. The criminal justice system in the region has been paralyzed by the flooding.

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

We need to interview more criminals and get to the bottom of this! I am sure the truth will come out from their testimony. /SARCASM]

Was it a federal or state prison or county jail?

Yes, but my page down button doesn't feel like I'm abusing it lately.

Gee, the effort you took to post sarcasm could also have easily been used to answer the simple question.

How on earth did you get past the virtual bouncers at the door carrying this giant straw-man post on your back?
