Manhunt Intensifies for New Orleans Jail Escapees as Family and Friends Face Arrests

The search for two remaining fugitives from a New Orleans jail breakout continues, with law enforcement ramping up efforts following the arrests of multiple family members and friends accused of aiding the escapees. The two inmates, who recently evaded capture, are part of a broader crisis that has seen a total of 14 individuals arrested related to the jailbreak. Authorities have increased the reward for information leading to the capture of the last fugitives to $50,000, as the manhunt continues across various cities. The situation has raised concerns about security failures within the New Orleans jail system, which has faced ongoing issues since its construction a decade ago.
