Outrage grows in New Orleans after 10 inmates’ daring prison break
So, like, the whole scene in New Orleans is getting super heated after 10 inmates managed to pull off a jaw-dropping escape from jail on Friday morning. And get this, these guys are considered “armed and dangerous,” which just adds another layer of crazy to the whole situation. The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office is saying that it’s pretty likely these dudes had some help from the inside, which honestly, is not really cool.
The whole mess started when the inmates were nowhere to be found during a routine head count at the Orleans Parish Jail around 8:30 a.m. local time. It’s believed that they made their great escape sometime after midnight. The sheriff spilled the tea that the inmates basically MacGyvered their way out by yanking off a cell door and then breaking through a wall behind a toilet. Yeah, you read that right, a wall behind a toilet. And apparently, they used toiletry items to remove the toilet and bolts, like, who even thinks of that kind of stuff? The inmates then went all mission impossible by scaling down a wall and booking it across the interstate.
Authorities are on high alert trying to track down these escapees, with three already in custody and seven still on the loose. The sheriff’s office even released security footage of the escape, showing these guys making a run for it like they’re in some action movie. And get this, they even left behind some not-so-nice messages for the guards, one of which was misspelled. Classic. The search is still on for the remaining escapees, so if you have any info, hit up the authorities ASAP.
So, like, it seems the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office is pointing fingers at the city for not ponying up the cash for security upgrades at the prison. They’ve been asking for help for, like, five years, but apparently, no one has been listening. The sheriff mentioned that just replacing the locks at the prison would cost a whopping $5.2 million. That’s a lot of dough, just saying. Also, the police are saying that if anyone is caught helping these escapees, they’re gonna be in some hot water. So, if you’re harboring these dudes, you might want to rethink your life choices. Just saying.
In the meantime, the hunt is still on for the seven inmates still at large. The authorities are working overtime to bring these guys back into custody, and they’re not messing around. So, if you have any tips or sightings, make sure to give them a ring. Let’s hope they catch these guys before they cause any more chaos in the Big Easy.
