요약From 1974 to 2003, New Orleans had one man serve as its district attorney: Harry Connick, Sr. That same span of time marked a period of sharply rising incarceration rates and changing opinions about law and order, both locally and nationally. Louisiana in particular eventually gained the reputation of being the country's most incarcerated state; New Orleans, as its biggest city, bore much of the responsibility for earning it that designation. Connick was known for his tough-on-crime approach to prosecution, forcefully using legal strategies old and new to send droves of defendants to jail and prison, often for as long as possible. Connick was popular enough with voters to be re-elected four times, a long tenure that is particularly notable given the increase in Black political presence and power in New Orleans during that time. His multiple re-elections were evidence that enough of the city's Black voters supported his policies to keep him as DA, even when he faced spirited opposition from Black candidates who tried to show constituents how Connick had failed them. But by the time of his retirement in 2003, Connick's reputation had begun to suffer, as revelations about shocking prosecutorial misconduct in his office started to emerge. Over the course of the past 20 years, those revelations have only increased in number and scope. Connick, now deceased, has left a fractured legacy, the reverberations of which continue to be felt in New Orleans. Scholarship concerning the rise in the country's incarceration rate has increasingly focused on prosecutors, identifying them as uniquely powerful players in criminal legal systems in the United States. With that in mind, this dissertation explores the social and political impacts of Connick's time in office, examining how he retained and wielded his power, and questioning how his policies shaped the landscape of the criminal legal system in New Orleans.
