Five Still At Large After New Orleans Jailbreak

Cortnie Harris and Corvanntay Baptiste were arrested for allegedly aiding inmates who escaped from the Orleans Parish jail in New Orleans on May 16, including driving fugitives to various locations and providing food to one while he hid. Both women face up to five years in prison if convicted as accessories after the fact. Sterling Williams, a jail maintenance worker, was also arrested after admitting he disabled the cell's water supply under threat from inmates, facilitating the escape. Out of ten escapees, five have been recaptured while five remain missing, prompting a multi-agency manhunt and monetary rewards for tips. The inmates exploited a wall breach behind a toilet, and authorities discovered graffiti left at the scene taunting them. The jailbreak has prompted serious concerns about security at the facility.
