Ivy Gisclair: From aclu.org/brokenpromises: Ivy Gisclair was in prison for failure to pay traffic tickets when Katrina hit. He talks about the conditions inside the jail where guards had abandoned prisoners to die. Government neglect of New Orleans' infrastructure led to the destructive flooding after Hurricane Katrina hit, and bureaucrats' mishandling of the aftermath led to widespread violations of human and civil rights. The ACLU has released video interviews and a new report, Broken Promises: Two Years After Katrina, detailing the abuses prisoners suffered in the wake of the hurricane. Read the report, and watch more interviews at www.aclu.org/brokenpromises.
