NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson has a plan to get inmates to court on weekends and holidays.
The plan was made in order to comply with a judge’s order, after the judge held her in contempt of court for not having done that.
In a statement, the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office claims that it’s an “extreme measure” which includes: reassessing deployments of deputies, asking deputies to volunteer for overtime outside of the 50 hours a week they currently work and demanding that employees currently working 50-hour weeks cover an additional shift for weekend court.
Hutson is scheduled to be sentenced on the contempt charge in August.
