Governor Jeff Landry Issues Strong Video Message: If you come to our country illegally, Louisiana will give you a new address — Louisiana Lockup.
Baton Rouge, LA-Governor Jeff Landry released a new video highlighting Louisiana Lockup, also known as Camp 57. Watch video HERE.
In this video, Governor Landry delivers a stark warning, highlighting the infamous Louisiana Lockup-situated along the Mississippi River and surrounded by alligator-filled swamplands-as one of the toughest facilities in the nation. It houses over 400 illegal detainees deemed the "worst of the worst," including rapists and murderers.
"Gang members, rapists, drug dealers, and human smugglers have no place in this country, and we are no longer giving them a free pass," said Governor Landry. "If you come to our country illegally and terrorize our people and community, Louisiana will be giving you a new address, Louisiana Lockup."
