That's Right, Get a Whole Country Mad At You
From MSNBC:
Greyhound Bus Lines complained to Louisiana’s prisons department to stop referring to a temporary New Orleans jail, that was once its bus station, as Camp Greyhound, a prisons official said on Monday.
The Greyhound bus station in New Orleans was converted into a makeshift jail by police trying to restore law and order in a city rife with crime and lawlessness in the days after Hurricane Katrina hit.
“Greyhound called us on Friday and asked us not to refer to it as Camp Greyhound anymore,” Pam Laborde, communications director of Louisiana’s department of corrections told a new conference....
Laborde said the jail would now be known as Angola South....
Wait a minute. So in the middle of this disaster, which half the world screaming "racism," they name a jail after an African nation? Right while the UN is meeting? This action may be "decried" and stuff.
Oops...guess they already named something else after the same nation:
...Those held in the temporary jail are not only criminals that took part in the crime spree after the hurricane, but also prisoners from the city’s Angola prison -- America’s largest maximum-security prison notorious for its hardened criminals and tough guards.
Never mind.
