Authorities announced that three out of ten inmates who broke out of a New Orleans jail on May 16 have been recaptured. One was caught in Baton Rouge, while two others were arrested in Texas. The jailbreak involved a faulty cell door, the inmates squeezing through a toilet hole, and scaling a fence. Their absence was unnoticed until a headcount. The investigation revealed several security failures in the jail, leading to arrests of a maintenance worker and others for their roles in the escape.
Authorities detailed how the attackers escaped, first prying open a faulty cell door, then crawling through a toilet hole, and climbing over a barbed-wire fence.
The investigation revealed multiple security lapses within the jail system, drawing attention to the need for urgent reforms in jail management and inmate security.
