WASHINGTON (AP) - More than 7,600 prisoners were transported out of the New Orleans area to state prisons and local jails, signaling the start of major changes for the criminal justice system in Louisiana.
The district attorney's office in New Orleans is near the jail where thousands of inmates were still being evacuated Thursday.
"If there's no power in the DA's office and if there's not going to be power for a week or two or three, alternate accommodations will have to be made, and people are working on that," said Pete Adams, executive director of the Louisiana District Attorneys Association.
