11 inmates have fled from Orleans' municipal prison, say officials | Crime/police

Eleven inmates, including a few accused due to murder and other violent crimes, fled the municipality of the municipality of Orleans early on Friday morning, triggering a city -wide search and immediately raising questions about the security failure that may have led to a brazen injury.

Prison officers found that the inmates were missing on Friday at 8:30 a.m. during a routine number, Sheriff Susan Hutson said during a press conference on Friday morning. The police chief of New Orleans, Anne Kirkpatrick, later said that the men escaped around midnight.

According to the law enforcement authorities, the refugees, all men, should all be considered armed and dangerous, who said that the public should remain vigilant and report suspicious activities.

“People, take it seriously,” said Kirkpatrick. “And let us know.”

There were only a few details about how inmates got out of prison in the middle of the night and could remain undetected for about eight hours. The prison remained in Lockdown on Friday morning.

A photo that circulated on mid-day Friday, which was confirmed by the Sheriff's office, shows a rectangular neckline in a bare wall that formed an escape route, said a spokesman. It is unclear where the hole was discovered in the extensive prison complex.

Hutson's office published more detailed photos that showed a toilet and a wash basin device that seemed to have seemed to have been torn out of the wall.

Around the hole that exposed it, epitheta and other comments were scribbled into the pen, an arrow on the exposed wall and the words “too simple LOL” were directed.

Casey McGee, a spokesman for the sheriff office, said that the police resumed one of the men, Kendell Myles late Friday morning.

The 20-year-old Myles was in the Royal Street shortly after 11 a.m. by “intelligence-led techniques”, according to the state police. A source familiar with the matter said that Myles was arrested when he joined the parking garage of the Hotel Monteleone. He was hidden under a car and returned to prison, where he was rebooked with a simple escape.

It wasn't his first time.

Myles was one of six adolescents who had escaped from the city center of the bridge for young people in July 2022. After the group had fled, the police said that Myles Carjack shot a 59-year-old Uptown man, Scott Toups, who spent 70 days in the intensive care unit.
