Jail Escapees Aided by Friends, Family; Reward Increased | JQJO

Ten inmates who escaped a New Orleans jail two weeks ago received assistance from at least 15 individuals, many friends and family. The escapees were aided with food, money, transportation, and shelter. A former jail employee is implicated, and others face felony charges for accessory after the fact. Authorities increased the reward to $50,000 per fugitive and are urging the public, particularly friends and family, to provide information leading to the capture of the two remaining escapees.
