Inmate Cleanup?

By Rynella
Published/Last Modified on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 1:27 PM CDT

I saw inmates picking up trash on the Avery Island Road last week.  They did a really good job.  I am wondering if there is any way to request that they pick up in a certain area.  There is a connecting street off of the AI Rd that is an eyesore.  It is only around this one residence that the problem lies.  It happens to be the 1st thing you see when you turn on to this street.  The people who own it seem to take really good care of the property EXCEPT for the side that faces this street.  The trash has accumulated there, and they seem not to care.  I would guess that this part of the property is considered "easement"... but it looks horrible.  Who can we contact to help to clean up this street??

    " This gives me a great idea and possibly someone out ther can help me. I have some property on the bayou that as of late has become overgrown with grass and trash. Who should I call to get them to clean up my property to make more appealing to my eyes. I would be happy to sit out on my deck and toss my water dog a dummy for him to retrieve while drinking a cold julip watching these criminals pay me back for my contibutions made to provide them with board, food and health care.

    " To Rynella, I think you may have misunderstood my comment. I am in no way saying the trustees should not be picking up trash. What I am saying is that it is a truly sad commentary on US that we need them to pick up trash. Even though it is much cheaper having them do it than a paid crew, it still costs us. It costs us nothing to put our trash where we should. We often win cleanest city contests. That shocks me. How trashed up are the cities we beat?!! Texas has their act together. "

    " To Louie... Unfortunately people do throw the trash out of the window... I have seen these trustee's cutting grass as well as picking up trash. You can't cut grass over the trash. That would be pointless. They do a really good job, and why not? "

    " I have no problem putting inmates to work, such as grass cutting. There should be no need for them to pick up trash. What kind of lowlife throws trash out the car window? Truely pathetic!!! "

    " Thanks for the compliment for our Parish's Inmate Work crews. These crews and supervising deputies work hard on a daily basis. Yes, you can call me at Keep Iberia Parish Beautiful (412-7863 or 365-3557) and I'll pass the information onto our Sheriff's Department work crews, or you can call the Sheriff's Department directly and put in your request. Always leave the road or location information when calling and a crew will be out there as soon as possible. Once again, thank you for your interest and concern for cleaning up this area and our Parish. "
