Do we know for certain if the jails were emptied? I know there was some confusion about this yesterday.

I thought I saw a picture yesterday of inmates standing on a highway overpass being guarded by police/deputies/ NG, whoever drew that deatil. I have heard the other story, too, so maybe both are true. Maybe the let out the less serious offenders and kept the most dangerous under guard.

Last night, I saw huge huge group of men in orange jump suits...wrist-banded to each other by water/river.....police standing guard.

I also heard a reporter say that a hotel told them, the hotel patrons, to "get out" because the prisoners were being released and there would be no one to protect them from them and the other elements come dark...they were told that on Tuesday night I believe.

I heard officials from the Parish Prison discuss how they had gotten the jailed people taken to another prison. They did herd them on a ramp of the interstate while getting them out of town, but they were always under guard.

I did hear a reporterette on Fox last night say that at least some prisoners were let out and at that point the police told the reporterette to evacuate because "we can't protect you".
