New Orleans jail slammed by former warden after 4-time escapee breaks out

A former federal prison warden, Cameron Lindsay, criticized the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility’s security after ten inmates, including serial escapee Antoine Massey, escaped due to inadequate protocols. An October 2024 compliance report revealed the jail was only 42% compliant with federal oversight measures, highlighting issues like lack of inmate supervision and rampant violence. Lindsay emphasized the need for stringent security checks and appropriate measures for high-risk inmates, indicating systemic failures within the facility’s management.
