    NEW ORLEANS — Newly obtained photos from inside the Orleans Parish Jail
    appears to show the physical breach that allowed 11 inmates to escape
    Friday morning — and a handwritten message that adds a disturbing tone to
    the incident.

    The image, reviewed by WWL Louisiana, shows a large hole in the wall of
    the facility with daylight clearly visible through the other side. Just
    above the opening, someone had written in marker: “To (sic) easy lol.”

    Photographs shared with WWL by a source familiar with the jail layout. The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office has not confirmed whether this was the
    exact escape route used by the inmates.

    The photos adds new urgency to questions already being asked by city
    leaders and law enforcement about how such a large-scale escape could
    happen — and go undetected for hours.

    NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said the public wasn’t notified until roughly 10 a.m. Friday, hours after the facility’s 8:30 a.m. headcount
    revealed the 11 men were missing.

    At least one of the inmates has since been recaptured. Kendall Myles was arrested outside Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter Friday morning.

    As of Friday afternoon, ten inmates remain at large. All are accused of
    violent crimes.

    This is a developing story. Stay with WWL Louisiana for continued coverage
    and exclusive updates.
