Delays in reporting the escape aggravated concerns, especially given the violent offenses some inmates are charged with. Sheriff Susan Hutson pointed to defective locks as a contributing factor and mentioned potential internal assistance. The incident has sparked outrage among officials, including the Attorney General and District Attorney, who both demanded accountability.
