Because It’s called Plaquemines Parris Prison, and I was told by the design firm that it is for FEMA. You’re assuming I’ve been contracted by FEMA-I’ve not. And “military architects” and “FEMA architects”-don’t design prisons-design firms who specialize in correctional facilities design prisons. And as far as “blabbing”-the project will be publicly bid and built so there’s nothing secret about it. (at this time information about the project is somewhat limited, but it’s out there).

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar (to quote Freud). Sometimes a regular old prison is just a prison.

BTW, you do know that the old prison (800 bed) in Plaquemines Parris parish in Pointe-a-la-Hache, was destroyed in Katerina. There is a good chance that rebuilding may come out of FEMA funding, nothing conspiratorial. FEMA funding is part of rebuilding a lot of different projects in the area.

The prision was destroyed during Katrina and FEMA is pushing the money for its rapid reconstruction.

Please stop your nonsensical posts. Beck is right, we have real fish to fry and your tinfoil mind is distracting us.

Here is an excerpt:

“On August 29, 2005, The Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility, located at 110
Prison Road, in Braithwaite, Louisiana, in Plaquemines Parish, was severely damaged by storm
surge, rain, and high winds stemming from Hurricane Katrina. Following the disaster, the
applicant applied for and was subsequently awarded funds to pay for the demolition and
reconstruction of the detention facility. The duration of the construction period for the
replacement facility is expected to be between 48 and 60 months. In order to facilitate operation
of the Plaquemines Parish criminal justice system in the interim, and to mitigate costs associated
with housing detainees in Jefferson Parish, the applicant proposes to construct a temporary
detention facility, located in the vicinity of latitude 29.5986, and longitude -89.8247, which lies
immediately southwest from the existing facility, on a parcel owned by the applicant, bounded to
the northeast by LA Hwy. 39, to the southeast by forested property owned by Henry E.
Duplessis, to the southwest by River Road, and to the northwest by forested property owned by
P.F. Williams. The proposed concrete structure would cover an area of approximately 94,100
square feet. Although this would be a temporary facility, it would be constructed in accordance
with applicable codes and standards regarding construction of penal detention facilities.”
