Jail Rebellion Leaders Face Charges In New Orleans
In New Orleans, the District Attorney announced plans to file charges today against leaders of a prison uprising at Orleans Parish Jail. About 34 inmates held two guards for nine hours, released them unharmed after talks with police, while inmates demanded prison reforms and the dismissal of District Attorney Jim Garrison. The event drew responses from Black Panther attorneys, New Orleans’ only Black judge, and Louisiana’s sole Black state legislator, with lawmakers noting assurances of no retaliation. Sheriff Heydel warned some demands were practical while others were dramatizations, as prison conditions including rats and medical neglect were cited and security was raised.
