BILOXI, Mississippi (CNN) -- Prisons in Mississippi got coffee makers, pillowcases and dinnerware -- all intended for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The state's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks took more coffee makers, cleaning supplies and other items.
Plastic containers ended up with the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration.
Colleges, volunteer fire departments and other agencies received even more.
But the Mississippi hurricane victims who originally were intended to receive the supplies got nothing, a CNN investigation has found.

I posted this video because I wanted the world to realize that New Orleans wasn't the only place effected by Katrina. I'm sick of saying I lost things in Katrina and then someone going...."Oh, so you are from New Orleans." NO! Wrong!
