New Orleans (Wgno– The authorities urge the local population to stay on alert after ten prisoners fled from New Orleans Prison on Friday, nine of them remained at 8:30 pm East time.
The monitoring footage, which was shared with the media during a press conference, showed the fugitives coming out of the attachment – some of them wearing orange clothes and some in white. And they began to expand the fence range, using blankets to avoid cutting them by barbed wire. Some can be seen running across the nearby highway.
Officials from Sharif’s office say that there was no physical deputy in Qurna, where the fugitives were held. They said that there was a technician, a civilian who was to monitor the pod, but “moved away from food.”
According to the OPSO diocese office (OPSO), the missing prisoners were discovered around 8:30 am during the number of routine births at the Orleans of Justice Center.
OPSO deputies and the partnership of law enforcement agencies in the state are actively looking for the next two fleeing.

From Friday afternoon, the authorities regained a 20 -year -old prisoner, Kindle Miles, who said the New Orleans Police Director, Ann Kirkpatrick, said in the French Tourist District, thanks to the facial recognition technique.
“After a short hunt, he was arrested on Royal Street Street,” the state police said. “The soldiers continue to work with the partners to determine the location of the remaining fugitives and ensure public safety.”
The public is advised to stay in a state of alert, not perceive and not approach individuals.
The Architias of Orleans, Sharif Susan Hottson, said the men were able to get out of the Orleans Center for the Orleans due to “defective locks”. Hutson said it has constantly raised concerns about the locks for officials, and even recently, she called for this week to obtain money to repair the patient’s infrastructure.
There are evidence that people inside their department helped the fugitives escape.
“We acknowledge that there is no way for people to get out of this facility without there being a kind of separation in security,” Hutson said about prison. “It is almost impossible, not completely, but almost impossible for anyone to get out of this facility without help.”
“Any lapses or failures that contributed to this incident quickly and fully described it,” Hottson said.
OPSO officials released a set of hole pictures in the wall who believe that prisoners had escaped. One of the pictures shows a drawing of an arrow indicating a hole in the wall, and one of them wrote “to”[sic] Easy lol. “

Hutson addressed the security separation, citing defective locks on the cell. She adds that the fugitives have received help from individuals inside the Sharif Bishop’s Office.
“At approximately 12:23 am, the detainees began to tamper with the closed cell door, and finally broke it. Hottson said:” He confirms that they went out through a door on the sidewalks where the supplies are brought to prison. “
Prosecutor Louisiana Les Morel said on Friday that there is no excuse and that “someone has shot down the ball clearly.”
Everything is on the deck. The first priority in any escape should be the immediate capture of guests and coordination with law enforcement and local state – but this effort cannot come at the expense of notification in a timely manner for the public, which is very important to maintain the integrity of societies. My office will do everything necessary to determine how this happens and make sure it will not happen again. I call for a complete investigation – this is unacceptable, and as soon as these perpetrators return to reservation, there must be real accountability.

Edwin Shura, the Arlianz Conspea diocese and candidate for Sharif, accused the authorities of failing to notify the residents of escaping for “hours after the breach,” describing the alleged delay, “the failure of the communication that could put a life in danger.”
Kirkpatrick said during a press conference that her officers had not been alerted from escaping until 10:30 am, and added that any person who found the fugitive would also be charged.
“You will be charged as a partner,” Kirkpatrick said.
