See surveillance video of New Orleans La Jail Escape | Crime/police

The Sheriff's office in Orleans Parish published new details in the flight of 10 inmates on Friday, including the surveillance video, which shows how the men could get out of prison.

The video shows how the occupants open a door at 12:22 p.m. and go through a cell in which they had cut the wall behind a toilet.

You will then be caught in front of the camera at 1 a.m., which arrives at the charging cock, with blankets for scaling barbed wire fences and from prison directly in front of Interstate 10.

Nine of the ten inmates that have escaped are still at large, said officials on Friday. Sheriff Susan Hutson said that she could not rule out an “insider job” while the investigation and the search continued.

“After the escape, at least one steel rod seemed to have been deliberately cut with a tool, which affected the integrity of the safety functions of the POD,” said the Sheriff's office in a press release on Friday evening.

You can watch the surveillance video below.

This is not the first instance of a jailbreak that is caught on video. In 2013, a video appeared during the hearings of inmates with declarations of consent with drugs and weapons. One escaped inmate, recorded a video in the Bourbon Street and then returned to prison.

The then mayor Mitch Landrieu accused the sheriff Marlin Gusman of hiding the film material in a safe in his office and only published the videos after the city's legal team fought to see them.
