Under the direction of Warden James LeBlanc, inmate crews are expected to finish cleaning the cemetery, which is on the National Register of Historic Cemeteries, by Dec. 22.
Litter knows no boundaries and our cleanup efforts reflect that fact.
Whether it is a cemetery, a swamp or a highway, the litter must be dealt with. But we can't do it alone. I need the people's help to combat this statewide problem. Steve Stamm, Governor Foster's special assistant for litter control, said the cleanup is a joint effort with Baton Rouge's Mid-City Redevelopment Alliance. People are beginning to take pride in their city and state.
