Sex and politics collide in the A&E program City Confidential: Baton Rouge -- Scandal on the Bayou. Known for its spicy nightlife, Louisiana's capital has played host to governors and criminals alike. One of the latter came in the form of a flirtatious Madame named Sylvia Landry. As the proprietress of three busy escort services, Landry raked in over 500,000 dollars a year. She thought she had it made until her wheeling and dealings landed her in jail. Landry was disappointed when her high-profile visitors failed to ease her situation, but nevertheless, she refused to reveal her clientèle. Supposedly, the list could have been massively damaging. A&E explains the unlikely incarceration of a party girl and her even more surprising suicide.
