The feds have backed off, at least somewhat, on an almost takeover of the operations of the New Orleans county jail.
The Sheriff will retain control, sort of. He must appoint a “compliance director” from a list of people submitted to him from the outside. That director will have broad power over things such as budget allocation and operational and management policy.
It isn’t wonderful, but it is certainly better than having a federal judge and a “special master” in your hip pocket constantly.
