## Caption

Within hours of #HurricaneKatrina’s landfall, floodwaters inside the #NewOrleans jail had risen from knee-high to chest-high. The people trapped in the cells began to fear that they’d been left to drown.

Twenty years after Katrina caused destruction across the South and highlighted severe inequities, we explore the issues with the New Orleans jail and how many of the dynamics that fueled the carceral system are still present today, with the jail still entirely violent and disproportionately filled with Black people.
