💨 Abstract

Five of 10 inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail last week have been recaptured. A maintenance worker was arrested for allegedly aiding the escape. Sheriff Susan Hutson suspended her reelection campaign amidst scrutiny over the incident. The inmates escaped through a hole behind a metal toilet and remained at large for several days. Authorities are investigating the security lapses, and the situation has heightened security concerns in the area.
