The full story is here. Also posted in Train Stations.NEW ORLEANS -- As looters filled the streets and shots rang out, the city's overmatched police knew that whatever other endeavors Hurricane Katrina brought to a halt, crime wasn't one of them.
After being criticized for allowing lawlessness to spiral out of control in the days immediately following the storm, police began arresting people but then ran into a new problem -- where to put them. With New Orleans' jails flooded, a temporary holding facility was set up at the city's train and bus terminal.

Fox News Channel has run some video of the temporary jail around 8:10a ET this morning. The video shows some of the interior of NOUPT, plus the platform area where the prisoners are kept.
It may find its way to the FNC website. You may want to check there.
