I'm volunteering with the organization Common Groun (commongroundrelief.org) which is providing hurricane relief and looking to expand their work to prisoners and those being arrested. They have asked me to research news stories documenting abuse by the police and those working in prisons since the hurricane. If you could recommened online sources for researching such information, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
Hi.
Here are some sources worth checking out:
louisiana.injuryboard.com/view.cfm/Topic=40
www.alternet.org/katrina/26073/
www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2005/150905nwoshowcase.htm
www.corrections.state.la.us/Katrina.htm
www.aclu.org/Prisons/Prisons.cfm?ID=19225&c=121
www.prisonsfoundation.org/news.html
There seems to be a lot more on police brutality than prison workers.
Please let me know if these are not sufficient or if the links do not work.
