New Orleans Jailbreak: Ten Inmates Escape, Raising Security Concerns

New Orleans Jailbreak: Ten Inmates Escape, Possibly with Inside Help A daring jailbreak unfolded in New Orleans on Friday, as ten inmates escaped from the Orleans Justice Center. The escape, which authorities believe may have involved inside help, remained undiscovered for over seven hours, only coming to light during a routine headcount. The incident has raised serious questions about security protocols at the facility. Sheriff Susan Hutson stated in a press conference, "There is no way people can get out of this facility without there being some type of lapse in security." Three inmates have been recaptured, including 20-year-old Kendall Myles, a repeat escapee with prior escapes from juvenile detention centers. Myles was apprehended after a short chase in the French Quarter. The sheriff recently requested additional funding to address the jail's aging infrastructure, citing faulty locks as a contributing factor to the escape. The remaining seven escapees are still at large and considered armed and dangerous. The investigation is ongoing, focusing on determining the extent of any internal complicity in the escape.
