Citizen Praises Sheriff's Innovative Programs

Dear Sheriff Neustrom:

Just so you know that I do write complimentary letters in addition to those that criticize, please accept my praise for some of your innovative programs that have been recently highlighted in the media. The programs I speak of are the direct supervision of prisoners approach; the off-site telecommunication visitation for families of prisoners; the call program for the elderly; and the day reporting programs for some offenders. All of these programs show your very humanistic approach to corrections and the general human condition. You are a different kind of sheriff from the standard old Louisiana model, and it has taken some adjustment by the jaded downtown crowd (myself included) to see the wisdom of your ways. Anyway, thank you for your innovative programs, and I am always available with an opinion. I don't lack opinions.

With kind regards, I remain Very truly yours, Albert M. Karre', Jr.

Sheriff Mike Neustrom advises that a 13-year-old juvenile was killed Monday evening as a result of an accident that occurred in the 1200th block of Breaux Road between a go-cart and a Ford Explorer. Preliminary findings indicate that at approximately 7:29 PM the go-cart and a motorcycle were traveling south on Breaux Road when the Ford Explorer struck the go-cart. One occupant of the go-cart, a 13-year-old white male, was killed and the other, a 19-year-old white male, was transported to a local hospital with severe injuries. The driver of the Ford Explorer, a 27-year-old white male, was also transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
