The escapees, who ranged in age from their teens to early 40s, broke out of the Orleans Parish Justice Center in the early hours of May 16 by climbing through a hole in the wall behind a toilet, scaling a fence and crossing an interstate. By the time authorities discovered them missing during a routine morning head count, they were long gone, leaving behind a smiley face and several taunting messages including "To easy LoL" scrawled on the bathroom wall.
