As of now, two of the escapees have been recaptured, as confirmed by the Orleans Parish Sheriffâs Office. The circumstances of the breakout have raised eyebrows, particularly as investigators suspect the possibility of inside assistance, given that the inmates managed to slip through a hole concealed behind a toilet.
Further investigation revealed that bolts had been removed from the jail’s exterior wall, prompting a thorough review of individuals who were present in the lead-up to this incident.
Chief of Corrections Jeworski Mallett addressed the media on Friday, shedding light on the alarming security breach. âThe primary security concern lies with the facilityâs infrastructure,â he stated. âWeâve identified that a significant number of high-risk individuals were housed in a minimum custody facility.â
Mallett elaborated, âThis particular breach took place on the first floor of one of our security pods, where slider doors can be manipulated and forced off their tracks, allowing individuals to enter and exit at will.â

This latest jailbreak is reminiscent of a similar incident in August 2023, when Danilo Cavalcante escaped from Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania. Cavalcante, an undocumented immigrant convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, managed to evade authorities by “chimneying” up walls in the prisonâs exercise yard, ultimately reaching the roof and navigating past razor wire.
His escape sparked a 14-day manhunt during which he was deemed extremely dangerous, even stealing a .22 caliber rifle. The search concluded on September 13, 2023, when law enforcement finally apprehended him in South Coventry Township, approximately 23 miles from the prison.
