    NEW ORLEANS — Surveillance video captures the moment 10 inmates broke
    through a jail and ran towards the interstate early Friday morning.

    The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office shared a timeline of the events
    leading up to the jail break. The FBI is offering $5,000 for tips that
    would lead to the arrest of any of the inmates.

    According to OPSO, the escape began around 12:23 a.m. Friday, when
    detainees began tampering with a locked cell door. They managed to break
    it open, then breached a wall behind a toilet, escaping through a loading
    dock door and scaling a wall before running across the interstate. The
    facility was already on lockdown at the time of the breach, but defective
    locks and doors allowed them to leave their cells, the sheriff's office
    said.

    A correctional monitoring technician was present in the control module,
    but authorities say three security cameras in the unit were inoperable, preventing a clear view of the escape. Approximately one-third of the
    jail’s cameras are currently not working, OPSO confirmed.

    Three employees have been suspended during the ongoing investigation, said Major Silas E. Phipps, Jr., Director, Compliance & Accountability Bureau
    for OPSO.

    They were seen climbing up the fence along I-10 between the OPSO jail and
    the current one under construction.
    The inmates used blankets to avoid being cut by the barbed wire, said
    Major Silas E. Phipps, Jr. Director, Compliance & Accountability Bureau
    for OPSO.

    Then they ran across the interstate and into a neighborhood. Investigators found clothing that the inmates discarded.

    8:30 a.m.
    OPSO jail operations staff found that several inmates on Pod 1 Delta were missing during the headcount
    Jail staff immediately began a systematic search of the facility, said
    Major Phipps. At the time of the escape, Pod 1-D had no deputy present,
    and the civilian monitor had stepped away briefly for food.

    "At the time of the incident there was no deputy physically on Pod 1
    Delta, said Phipps. "And the technician that was assigned to the housing
    unit module had actually stepped away to grab food."

    8:35 a.m. – Jail leadership is notified.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
