Ten Inmates Escape New Orleans Jail in Daring Overnight Break

Ten inmates made a daring escape from a New Orleans jail early Friday morning. The escape was caught on security cameras, showing the men using a hole behind a toilet to reach a wall that they then scaled. The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office reported that the guard assigned to the cell block was away getting food at the time. "This is unacceptable," said Sheriff Marlin Gusman in a statement. "We are conducting a full investigation and will take appropriate action against those responsible." All ten escapees were apprehended within 24 hours. The incident has raised questions about the jail's security measures and has prompted calls for improvements to prevent future escapes. The swift apprehension of the inmates offers a positive conclusion to an otherwise alarming situation.
