Critics blast hourslong gap before officials disclosed 10 inmates’ escape from New Orleans jail
- Ten inmates escaped from the Orleans Justice Center in New Orleans early Saturday by breaking out through an opening concealed near a toilet and climbing over a wall around 1:30 a.m.
- The escape occurred due to defective locks and possible inside help amid ongoing staffing shortages and delayed official notification.
- The jail, which opened in 2015, houses 1,400 people including high-security inmates convicted of violent crimes, but lacks sufficient restrictive housing and maintenance funding.
- Surveillance footage showed some escapees wearing orange or white clothing sprinting out, and three inmates, including 20-year-old Kendall Myles, were recaptured and moved to a state facility.
- Authorities are still searching for seven fugitives, with officials blaming security failures and the timing raising suspicion amid Sheriff Hutson’s reelection campaign.
