The ten detainees, including some accused of murder, escaped from the New Orleans Center of Justice around 1 am on Friday (16), according to the authorities.
First, they pulled a door from one of the cells and then broke into a wall, pulling a toilet and a sink, said the sheriff from New Orleans County, Susan Hutson, to journalists.
A photo of the place reveals that one of the detainee wrote on the wall the word: “Easy.” The message was written on the hole that was used for the escape.
A video captured the moment when men fled through a cargo area, climbing a wall and running down a nearby highway.
The New Orleans Center of Justice, which mainly houses people awaiting trial or judgment, found that detainees, aged 19 to 42, had disappeared during a routine count on Friday morning, authorities said.
Hutson said he believed that detainees may have received assistance from people “from within the department.”
An arrest official who monitors the surveillance video saw the escape but did not warn the police, she said. She did not detail the assistance that the prisoners received.
New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told reporters that her department was notified of the escape about two hours after the prisoners were recorded as missing.
