Those are dangerous criminals and we need them off the street!
So they need to up it to 50k-100k per prisoner.

Fearful New Orleans lawyers flee Louisiana after jailbreak as DA fires back at Landry
Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams said OPSO mishandled evidence and that the state was responsible for some inmate delays.
Two Orleans Parish lawyers who secured convictions against a recent escapee from the Orleans Parish jail have fled the state along with their families, fearing for their safety after the recent jailbreak, District Attorney Jason Williams said Monday at a news conference.
Williams personally tried the second-degree murder case against escapee Derrick Groves in October 2024, along with the two other lawyers who have left Louisiana. Williams said he was “personally afraid” for his own safety.
Groves' case was a gang-related double killing that had to be retried twice. Groves, 27, has been incarcerated for more than two years in the jail while awaiting sentencing in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court. He was convicted of second-degree murder in October, and was also convicted of manslaughter in a separate case.
In his news conference, Williams also pushed back against Gov. Jeff Landry's recent statement that New Orleans’ “progressive criminal justice system” was a cause of last week’s jailbreak.
“The lawyers who tried that case with me, the witnesses who were brave enough to come forward and stare Derrick Groves down in that courtroom, the next of kin, who sat in that courtroom knowing what he did to their family members — we’re all the ones in harm’s way, not Jeff Landry,” Williams said.
Williams highlighted his office’s high murder clearance rates and pointed to other delays in criminal cases that Williams said were caused by Landry’s administration.
The governor blasted the “progressive promises” made by Williams and Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson, who each were elected amid a post-George Floyd wave of legal reforms.
“New Orleans handed the jail keys to those who vowed to keep criminals out of jail,” Landry said.
Williams countered on Monday, saying his office’s murder clearance rates hover around 85%, which he called an “all-time high.”
“After we convict someone, it’s not on the DA’s office to go pick them up in a van and drive them up to (Louisiana State Penitentiary at) Angola,” Williams said. “That’s the state’s responsibility, by law.”
Williams added that criminal cases in Orleans Parish faced major delays during the COVID-19 pandemic, along with other delays in processing evidence from the state crime lab. He described Orleans Parish as one of the busiest courtrooms in the state, despite backlogs.
“To suggest that justice is not being served, because of the volume of cases that we have, that is factually dishonest, incorrect and disingenuous,” he added.
Williams said the governor did not contact him before accusing Williams of previously declining cases brought against five escapees, who picked up additional charges related to jail misconduct while they were in custody.
In response, Williams pointed the finger at Hutson, the sheriff. In each of those cases, Williams said, OPSO didn’t preserve video or other physical evidence needed to make a case.
“I understand the governor would like to know why we haven’t filed additional charges against those inmates,” Williams said. “The simple answer is we never got the evidence from the sheriff’s office.”
Representatives from Landry's office and Hutson's office didn't immediately return messages seeking comment.
Man, they would have never found my ass. I would have used this time to get the fuck out of Dodge forever. This dude uses his few hours of freedom to go hang out with some dudes after spending years hanging out with some fucking dudes? Fuck out of here
RIGHT!!! That's all he was doing in prison.....lol. Hanging out with a bunch of damn dudes!!
If that's me, I immediately start heading for Shreveport, I get as far away from the I-10 as possible because I know Louisiana State Troopers are all over the place, and Texas Rangers are at the border or even assisting in Louisiana. I cut through northeast Texas and head to Oklahoma and immediately start making my way to one of those flyover states and try to get to Washington State and crossover into British Columbia.
I said before, I don't necessarily care what they did in the past, if they can escape and not hurt or kill anyone and live the rest of their lives in peace, I'm happy. Some people don't need a life sentence. Sometimes people just need some time away to get their shit straight or whatever.
Gonna go hateful 8 on these mfsThose are dangerous criminals and we need them off the street!
So they need to up it to 50k-100k per prisoner.
And at 50 bands a piece, I'm creating a group text and we're meeting up at one spot to "Plan" what's next.

Wait, this is real lol..
Looks like a Juneteenth re-enactment...If we could actually trust a system that routinely charges/convicts black men at a far higher rate/longer sentences than their white counterparts..i wouldn't be so ambivalent. On side note...u.s. marshal service no play..
I don't know how far that is away from the prison, but I cannot imagine going anywhere too far with no money, no phone, and no vehicle, especially with all those people on your ass.
Welp. I was gonna say that their best bet on blending into society was to act homeless.

Did any of these dudes had a plan once they escaped of how they were gonna survive and evade capture while on the run, cause it doesn't seem like it. What is the point of escaping if their is no plan to remain free. Conventional wisdom will tell you that you need to get out of the country. I would have liked to know what was the thought process once they got out.

The reward is only 20,000 LOL. They must think this is the early 1980's or something when cost of living was low and a single person could survive off a 20 stacks a year. I can't picture anyone turning someone into the authorities for 20 g's. That kind of money ain't worth looking over your shoulder, wondering if you will ever be found out that you're the one that snitched. They need to put down life changing money for people to even consider that risk.
This is a fucked up world to break out into, economy bad, racism and coonism at an all time high, a psuedo police state, folks eyeballing that reward money, going to the Mexican border is a no go, these hoes ain't loyal....damn they would have been better off doing the straight time.
I can't even think of any place safe for them, even the survivalist woods is dangerous as hell these days.
All caught and returned by June imo

New Orleans jail worker says he aided in escape plan over fear of being 'shanked,' warrant says
The maintenance employee also said killer Derrick Groves tried to take his phone and get him to give a Cash App code to his cousin. Here's more.
The Orleans Parish jail maintenance worker accused of helping 10 men escape the facility on Friday said he was threatened with harm by one of the inmates if he didn't help with their escape plan, according to an arrest warrant.
"That individual was a maintenance worker at the facility, and we believe him to have been involved in turning water off in connection with this event," said Louisiana attorney general Liz Murrill at a Tuesday afternoon media briefing. Investigators working under Murrill headed the investigation that led to Williams' arrest. Murrill said more arrests and upgraded charges could be coming pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
Sterling Williams, 33, told Louisiana Bureau of Investigation agents that Antoine Massey, one of the escapees, threatened to "shank" him if he didn't cut off the water to the dorm area where the inmates would eventually remove a toilet to get out of the jail, records say.
The warrant says that Williams admitted to investigators that he turned off the water via a valve in a "pipe chase," a corridor behind rows of jail cells that he accessed through a door on the rear loading dock.
Williams also appeared on video talking to three inmates, including Massey and Derrick Groves an alleged four-time killer who remains at large, LBI said in the affidavit. Williams told authorities that Groves tried to take his phone away and tried to get him to give his cousin, also in a jail, a book with Cash App information inside of it, according to the affidavit for Williams' arrest.
It says Williams did not come initially forward and admit his part in the escape plan, only doing so after a round of questioning. It says that Williams "willfully and maliciously assisted with the escape of the 10 inmates."
"(Williams) made some bad decisions," Murrill said Tuesday. "The facts that I'm aware of indicates that there were multiple opportunities to bring it to the attention of authorities. ... He intended to assist these individuals to leave that facility."
The document makes no mention of power tools or the cutting of bars behind the wall that held the metal toilet-sink combination that the escapees allegedly ripped out to fashion their exit.
Williams was booked in Plaquemines Parish on a count of malfeasance in office and 10 counts of being a principal to simple escape, online jail records show.
He's the first person arrested in the case outside of the escapees. Sheriff Susan Huston said three sheriff's office employees have been suspended related to the jailbreak. It's unclear if Williams, who also was employed by the previous sheriff, Marlin Gusman, was among those three. Murrill did not disclose the roles and titles of the other suspended employees. She said she'd be examining the facility's conditions, court system backlogs and other broader contributing factors in the LBI's ongoing investigation.
Four inmates have been re-captured as of Tuesday morning. Massey, Groves and four others remained on the run as of Tuesday morning. New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick believes the six may be hiding out in the city.
Massey, 32, was booked in March on charges of motor vehicle theft and domestic abuse battery involving strangulation. He's also wanted by St. Tammany Parish authorities on suspicion of kidnapping and rape, law enforcement officials said. A judge issued a protective order in Orleans Parish and Massey hadn't entered a plea before Friday, court records show.
Groves, 27, was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2018 Mardi Gras Day killing of two men in the Ninth Ward.
