The Orleans Parish Jail has been at the center of some of New Orleans’ most important public safety debates in recent years.
Now, newly elected Sheriff Michelle Woodfork is stepping into the role at a critical time.
On September 9, BGR President & CEO Rebecca Mowbray will sit down with Sheriff Woodfork for one of her first public conversations since taking office. They’ll discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the jail, and what residents can expect as her administration begins to take shape.
