Aug. 30, 2005 — Inmates at a prison in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans have rioted, attempted to escape and are now holding hostages, a prison commissioner told ABC News affiliate WBRZ in Baton Rouge, La.

Orleans Parish Prison Commissioner Oliver Thomas reported the incident to WBRZ.

A deputy at Orleans Parish Prison, his wife and their four children have been taken hostage by rioting prisoners after riding out Hurricane Katrina inside the jail building, according to WBRZ.

Officials are expected to hold a press conference regarding the riots at 9 p.m. ET.

A woman interviewed by WBRZ said her son, a deputy at the prison whose family is among the hostages, told her that many of the prisoners have fashioned homemade weapons. Her son had brought his family there hoping they would be safe during the storm.

This is just rediculous.... i can't begin to explain my sadness right now.

Where is the MILITARY, not the guard. Like in Andrew, we had the full military keeping peace and doing the dirty work! Man this makes me angry.

I have no sympathy at all for the rats of inmates. Kill any inmate on sight if he/she is trying to riot.

No sympathy whatsoever.... scumbags.

BITING MY TONGUE TO KEEP OUT OF A FLAME WAR WHEN THERE ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.

Nice to see such displays of human HEART in this time of tragedy.

Nice, nice to see you have such a soft spot for rebellious criminals.

I really, really, really feel for the CITIZENS of NO, but I couldn't feel any more bitter about how immature and disgusting it is that the inmates would take advantage of this and sap resources away from rescue efforts of the innocent to try and escape.

Don't forgive me if I offended you because I'm not looking for it. They are in there for a reason and they know it. Monopolizing on the misfortune of others when they have already caused enough trouble doesn't exactly make me go "aww poor inmates".

Stop instigating problems with your CONSTANT peace and love comments in every thread please. We all know where you stand, and its getting very annoying, and is instegating problems.

I agree NO mercy should be showed to inmates attempting to take advantage of this scenario.
