That's one of the more harrowing Katrina stories I've heard.

  • "Hurricane Katrina - Drowning Inside a Locked Cell "
  •  
  • Summary: Terry's cell at Orleans Parish Prison became a drowning cage as the flood waters from Hurricane Katrina rose almost to the ceiling. As his drowned cellmate floats near him and inmates are screaming, Terry tells us his thoughts as he faces his own ignoble, inhumane death. These thoughts are what continue to haunt him (and perhaps us) in this Katrina remembrance.
