New Orleans Jailbreak: Seven Inmates Still Missing
A large-scale manhunt is underway for seven inmates who escaped the Orleans Justice Center in New Orleans through a hole created behind a toilet. Three inmates have been recaptured, thanks in part to a public tip and increased reward money totaling $12,000. The escape involved manipulating cell locks and breaching a wall, raising concerns about jail security and leading to the suspension of three jail staff members. The remaining fugitives, facing charges ranging from assault to murder, are considered dangerous.
