Has anybody heard anything about whether they evacuated prisons in NY/NJ during SAndy? I caught some third-hand info that they didn't. Just wondering.

I never heard anything - but no one was evacuated who wasn't in a low lying, coastal area. People on higher ground, further from the coast in NYC weren't evacuated. It could be the prisons are well-situated weather-wise.

Well, there was the news story about the prison guard that came out to his car which was flooded. That was early on. But, you could still be right.

The parking lots may be at lower level than the prisons themselves. Being surrounded by prisons where I live, I'd hate the thought that they would need to ever evacuate so many prisoners. I don't have an issue with the ones who are in there for non-violent crimes, but we have some of the worst of the worst in our super max. Think Jeffrey Dahmer and others with horrendous crimes against them.

I know, Pam! Dd works in a prison where there are 24 guards for 1400 prisoners. I can't even do the math to figure out how to *safely* get them all out.
