Technology, Teamwork and Cash Play Key Roles in Massive Manhunt for New Orleans Prison Escapees

  • Ten inmates escaped from the Orleans Justice Center in New Orleans just after midnight last Friday by squeezing through a hole behind a metal toilet and opening a faulty cell door.
  • The escape followed longstanding security problems and constitutional rights violations in the jail amid deep-rooted mistrust of local and state law enforcement.
  • More than 200 local, state, and federal officers are searching for the fugitives, with five men recaptured and two others arrested on accessory charges.
  • Authorities have offered $20,000 in cash rewards per fugitive for tips leading to arrests, with officials noting the escapees mostly grew up in New Orleans and likely remain within the city.
  • The breakout has intensified police efforts and public scrutiny, leading the jail superintendent to suspend her reelection campaign amid calls for community cooperation to end the search.
