  • Orleans Parish Prison Intake Processing Center After the Storm
    Orleans Parish Prison Intake Processing Center after the storm 12 AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION a whole, a country with the highest national incarceration rate in the world.4 What makes OPP’s massive expansion so surprising is the fact that it happened during a period of time when the population of Orleans Parish decreased by over 100,000 peo- ple. During Sheriff Foti’s tenure, the capacity of OPP increased nearly 1000% (from 850 to 8500), while the popu- lation of Orleans Parish decreased over 18% (from over 593,000 in 1970 to under 485,000 in 2000).5 Prior to Hurricane Katrina, 60% of OPP’s population on any given day was made up of men and women arrested on attachments, traffic violations, or municipal charges6 — typi- cally for parking violations, public drunkenness, or failure to pay a fine. Most of the prisoners at OPP were pre-trial detainees, meaning they had not been convicted of any crime. Thus, aside from its enormous size, OPP’s population made it resemble a local jail rather than a prison, which generally holds individuals convicted of crimes that carry a sentence of more than one year of incarceration.7 I. ORLEANS PARISH PRISON As OPP’s population exploded, the categories of persons held at the jail changed. In 1970 there were only four to ten women in the jail at any given time. At the time of Hurricane Katrina, OPP held approximately 670 women.8 A. The Unchecked Growth of Orleans Like women, juveniles were also initially held in the Old Parish Prison Parish Prison.

  • The Murder Trial of Shareef Cousin
    The Murder Trial of Shareef Cousin Overview The murder was shocking, even in a city recently pro claimed the murder capital of the United States. For their first date, Michael Gerardi gave Connie Babin a single red rose and took her out to dinner at the Port of Call restau rant on the edge of New Orleans’ historic French Quar ter. As they were returning to his truck, parked a block away, they were confronted by three African American youths. Before Gerardi had a chance to hand over his wallet, he was shot in the face. A part-time bartender, who was also a medical student, provided emergency first aid but to no avail. Michael Gerardi was killed dur ing what became known as New Orleans’ bloodiest week. Acting on an anonymous tip, New Orleans Police Department detectives arrested Shareef Cousin at his home just a few blocks from where Michael Gerardi had been slain. Nine months later the case went to trial. The state’s star witness was Connie Babin, the victim’s date, who identified Cousin as the attacker. The defense countered with an alibi contending that Cousin was playing basketball about the time of the shooting. Amid intense local media coverage, the majority African American jury convicted Shareef Cousin of first-degree murder and sentenced him to death. National atten tion soon focused on the case as well. Shareef Cousin became a poster child for the anti–death penalty move ment; he was only 16 at the time of the murder and thus garnered the dubious distinction of being one of the youngest people on America’s death row.
