This is all I found

Inmates at a prison in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans have rioted, attempted to escape and are now holding hostages, a prison commissioner told ABC News affiliate WBRZ in Baton Rouge, La.

Orleans Parish Prison Commissioner Oliver Thomas reported the incident to WBRZ.

A deputy at Orleans Parish Prison, his wife and their four children have been taken hostage by rioting prisoners after riding out Hurricane Katrina inside the jail building, according to WBRZ.

Officials are expected to hold a press conference regarding the riots at 9 p.m. ET.

A woman interviewed by WBRZ said her son, a deputy at the prison whose family is among the hostages, told her that many of the prisoners have fashioned homemade weapons. Her son had brought his family there hoping they would be safe during the storm.

what do you think would happen if all those inmates were to start running at once... they couldn't possibly hold them all back can they?

This one deserves a Hollywood movie.
I expect for more exciting update about this.

Too bad National Guards are in Iraq establishing a " democracy " ... :1orglaugh

One Indian paper is reporting that inmates are rioting. Those are false rumors...just like the sharks swimming around the fresh water floods attacking people.

i was watching those fools on the news a while ago i heard nothing of hostages..i could be wrong tho
