New Orleans Jailbreak: Manhunt Intensifies for Six Fugitives

New Orleans Jailbreak: Six Inmates Still at Large New Orleans, LA – A daring escape from the Orleans Parish jail has left authorities scrambling to recapture six inmates who remain at large. Ten inmates initially escaped on May 20th, 2025, through a hole discovered in a cell wall. The escape route was cleverly devised, involving a hole dug into the wall and a compromised security system. According to Sheriff Marlin Gusman, "The escape involved a defective locking system and the assistance of a jail employee who had left to get food." A message reading "Too easy LOL" was found scrawled on the wall of the cell. Four inmates have been apprehended. The remaining six are facing serious charges, including aggravated assault and murder. The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to their capture. The incident has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the jail's security protocols and funding. Sheriff Marlin Gusman stated, "We are underfunded, understaffed, and underpaid." He also mentioned the need for budget increases to improve jail security. The intense manhunt continues, involving more than 200 law enforcement officers.
