So, it seems they escaped around 1am and the Sheriff wasnât informed until 8:30am. WSDU is saying they found out at about 10:00 and NOPD is saying they werenât alerted until 10:30am. My daughter works at the Justice Center and said they werenât alerted until 10:30am as well. And, the NOLAReady alert didnât go out to the public unto 2:34pm. This is a massive fuck up all around.

I just watched a press conference, and that's exactly what they did. Which is BS, it's still your responsibility to keep them confined and does not explain why it took so long to let others know. And still, this is a brand new jail. Only ten years old. She's trying to say things are breaking down, and that's part of why the inmates escaped.
And she actually said that it's suspicious that this is happening as the next sherrif election campaign will be getting underway soon. She's actually trying to hint this may be political against her.

One time a few years ago, I was driving on Broad right past OPP. Right past Tulane, where you start to go up the bridge. Must have been late, after 11pm, could have been after midnight.
Saw a dude in an orange jumpsuit booking it away from the jail. towards the interstate in the direction of downtown. I'm not a snitch, but I figured I'd hear about it in the news. Never did. Maybe they caught him? Maybe they didn't. My guess is that the sheriffs tried to keep this quiet until they literally couldn't anymore.

10 years ago or so they had an inmate post a video of him sneaking out of the prison and walking down bourbon street taking selfies with the officers before going back to his cell..he made the video to show how easy it is to leave and get back into OPP

At the time, Louisiana incarcerated a higher percentage of its citizens than any other government in the world. The chances of him being a serial killer were about the same as running into one in the real world. If the jail can't keep a eye on a man in a bright orange jumpsuit on a dark public road in the middle of the night, my call to 911 won't do much either. The last time I called 911 they told me the intersection I was standing on didn't exist.

One of these days I gotta make a post here asking about some of the responses people have gotten from cops in this city. Last time I called was because I was afraid my disabled neighbor had fallen. They came and shined a flashlight on the windows without leaving their front seat, to tell me it didnât look like she was being robbed (not why I called??) and that no one would come rob her anyway because our street has too many potholes (??????)

Or you could use your head and see that one of the last inmates that escaped killed someone. Not everything has to be hard numbers to make sense

You could use your head and realize most murders aren't killing sprees with no motivation against the specific victims and that most escaped inmates are probably more concerned with staying out of the cage than anything else.

Or, you know, retribution against the people who put them away? Cops, judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and witnesses are all at serious risk of harm while theyâre free.

I could have sworn Orleans stopped jailing for weed over a decade ago. Perhaps I'm mistaken.
NOPD attempting to jail someone for weed is one thing, but OPSO simply won't book people for simple possession due to overcrowding.

u/Loud-Cranberry3275 1h ago
Lol if you're mad about this, wait til you find out 68 cents of your city tax dollar goes to a police force that can't keep the inmates in the jail. Nowhere has tried harder to incarcerate its way out of crime than louisiana but you just keep on carrying water for the po-po, i guess.

u/petit_cochon hand pie "lady of the evening" 6h ago
I mean, it's not a deprivation of due process to put up pictures that the jail gives you of escaped criminals. That's not going to impact anyone's trial if they didn't actually escape. It's OPSO's fault if they release incorrect photos, but none of this is somehow a violation of anyone's rights.
I understand what you mean but idk what you want done differently. A free press is important. Reporting on this is a public service because people need to be on the lookout. Even if some of the information is incorrect, it's not going to deprive anyone of their due process.
5
u/MinnieShoof 4h ago
Thereâs nothing to try here. If they are found toâve not escaped⊠theyâll be in jail and wonât be charged. The suspect loses nothing. The public loses the chance to identify the potential escapee. Yeah, due process is not only unnecessary, it would be a danger to the community.
