Prisoners left in their cells as Katrina approached?

Prisoners left in their cells as Katrina approached?

This just receieved from Emily METZGER, a columnist for the Shreveport Times:

"I'm enjoying keeping up with your blog. Although there have been some great examples of reporting by LA papers, there's one story that isn't being told: allegations by Human Rights Watch that more than 100 prisoners were abandoned in their cells in Orleans Parish Prison as Katrina came ashore. I address it my column in today's Shreveport Times here: http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051012/OPINION0104/510120305/1058/OPINION03.
