**Inside Job? New Orleans Jail Break Raises Alarms**
**Ten inmates escape, suggesting potential collusion among staff.**
The recent escape of ten inmates from the Orleans Parish Jail in New Orleans has sparked serious concerns regarding potential inside assistance, according to local authorities. The prisoners, some facing murder charges, allegedly fled the facility around midnight, only to be discovered missing during the scheduled headcount later that morning.
Surveillance footage has played a crucial role in the investigation, with Sheriff Susan Huston stating, “There’s no way for anyone to get out of this facility without help.” The sheriff’s office even shared images of the escape route, which included playful yet taunting messages left by the escapees.
One escapee has since been recaptured in the French Quarter, with police apprehending Kendall Myles using facial recognition technology after he was spotted on camera. He was caught hiding beneath a car after attempting to flee on foot and is now facing additional charges.
Despite initial reports of eleven escapees, officials confirmed the number was ten. Sheriff Huston provided details of the escape, explaining how the inmates managed to dismantle a sliding cell door and break through a wall by removing a toilet. Once they slipped through the gap, they navigated across a highway.
The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office has released images documenting the escape route, highlighting the clean cuts in the wall and messages scrawled by the inmates, including “To Easy LoL.” New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick described the incident as an "urgent and serious situation,” urging citizens to report any unusual activities, given that the escapees are considered armed and dangerous.
Victims of the convicted individuals have also been informed about the situation, and law enforcement warns that any accomplices could face charges. The search has intensified with support from the FBI and U.S. Marshals, as they work to ensure the safety of the community near the central Orleans Parish Jail, located just two miles from the vibrant French Quarter.
