Manhunt Intensifies for Escaped Inmates in New Orleans Jail Break

A significant jailbreak at the Orleans Parish Jail has resulted in the escape of ten inmates, with law enforcement continuing the search for six of them. The situation escalated as a maintenance worker was arrested for allegedly aiding the escape, stating he was threatened with a stabbing. With growing public concern, the New Orleans sheriff has halted his reelection campaign as the manhunt enters its sixth day. The Louisiana governor has publicly blamed progressive policies for the jailbreak, which has drawn comparisons to notorious past escapes. Five inmates have been recaptured, including four-time killer Derrick Groves, but many remain armed and dangerous, prompting officials to offer increased rewards for information. The investigation suggests potential inside help may have facilitated the daring escape through a hole in the cell wall.
