The poor and working people of Louisiana are under attack. Since
taking office, Governor Landry and the Republican supermajorities in the
Legislature have enacted a reactionary criminal punishment regime. These
regressive measures will send more people to prison, keep them there
longer, fail to prevent new crime, provide no justice for victims, and take
millions of dollars from the people to funnel it into the hands of sheriffs,
district attorneys, and the private contractors in the prison industrial
complex.
