Six Fugitives Remain After Jailbreak in New Orleans

A fourth inmate, Gary C. Price, has been recaptured after he and nine others escaped from New Orleans' Orleans Justice Center by slipping through a hole behind a toilet and scaling a fence, leaving six fugitives still at large as of Monday. The escape involved inmates facing serious charges such as murder, and was enabled by faulty locks and possible inside assistance, with three jail employees placed on leave pending investigation. Sheriff Susan Hutson has come under fire for delayed public notification and for ignoring prior warnings about jail security deficiencies. Over 200 law enforcement officers from local, state, and federal agencies are searching for the remaining fugitives, with a $20,000 reward offered for each. The state attorney general and federal authorities are investigating security lapses and staff complicity. Officials have urged residents not to aid the fugitives, warning of possible criminal charges against anyone who assists them.
