New Orleans prison break

In the early 2000's I was hitting this chick from the St. Bernard Projects. She moved to Houston before Katrina. She told me that she had never visited Uptown New Orleans.

After Katrina I made alot of friends from new orleans because the area in Houston I lived in had the highest concentration of folks from new orleans who got put in houses or apartments. Alot of older folks I met said they never ventured to far from their neighborhood.
Crime increased too, just like Atlanta
 
Once upon a time, it was an unwritten rule in New Orleans to stay out of neighborhoods, communities, or cliques you weren't part of. Going to a bar, restaurant, second line in another neighborhood was one thing, but just hanging for the sake of hanging wasn't something you did.

I grew up in the 9th Ward. If I were jumping off fire escapes in the Desire in 1992, I wasn't playing in the Calliope because I had no business being up there. I road the bus to the East once in 1993 or 94 and got caught and got my ass whipped.
Ignorant n##gga shit. You ever hit the Melph?

Shit was overblown in Houston. NO cats were knocking off other NO cats who had street beef back home.

Now I did know a dude who got killed by some New Orleans cats but he brung that shit on himself because he was fucking with them on some bully shit about being outside in his courtway.

The murder rate was already rising that summer before Katrina hit.court way.

For the most part everyone got along.

The intensive manhunt following the escape from the New Orleans jail earlier this month led to three more inmates being taken into custody on Monday, leaving two others still at large from the historic breakout.

Lenton Vanburen Jr. 26, was arrested in Baton Rouge while Leo Tate Sr., 31, and Jermaine Donald, 42, were apprehended by the Texas Department of Public Safety in Walker County, Texas, north of Houston, police said. Gov. Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill lauded the captures.

Monday's arrests leave Derrick Groves and Antoine Massey, among those considered ringleaders in the brazen May 16 jailbreak of 10 men, at large.

Baton Rouge police confirmed Vanburen's capture, saying he was arrested following an anonymous tip.

"Vanburen was apprehended while sitting on a bench near a department store located at 9636 Hammond Aire," BRPD said in a statement.

State police confirmed the two captures in Texas.

The jailbreak has prompted an interstate manhunt and state-led investigations into the New Orleans lockup's operations, as well as the local criminal justice system. Sheriff Susan Hutson, who runs the jail, has suspended her reelection campaign just months ahead of the vote.


Vanburen was charged with second-degree murder in connection with a November 2021 fatal shooting in New Orleans East. He pleaded not guilty in April 2022. He had asked the court to represent himself and a mental competency hearing was scheduled for May 29, court records show.


Tate was initially jailed on charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder in connection with a 7th Ward double shooting in 2018, which killed 19-year-old Alexis Banks and hospitalized a teen.

He accepted a plea deal in September 2021, in which the murder-related charges were dismissed, and he was convicted of obstruction of justice and sentenced to 10 years behind bars, according to jail records.


Donald has a long criminal history but was most recently charged in December 2023 with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, court records show. He pleaded not guilty in April 2024.

The men were among 10 who broke free from the jail at about 1 a.m. on May 16 after busting through a cell door and sliding through a hole in a wall behind a toilet as a guard took a meal break. Jail staff didn't discover the escape until 8:30 a.m. Authorities suspect they received help from jail staff members, including a plumber, Sterling Williams, who has been arrested.

The two inmates still on the run are Antoine Massey and Derrick Groves. The others previously captured include Corey Boyd, Kendell Myles, Robert Moody, Dkenan Dennis and Gary Price. They are being held without bail at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.

Three women accused of helping Vanburen escape were also arrested over the weekend. Two were accused of driving Vanburen from Louisiana to a family member's house in Mississippi, according to court documents.

At least nine others have been booked on suspicion of aiding the escapees.

The escape has led to harsh criticism of Hutson. Landry has been among those lashing out over management of the jail.

Hutson has defended her management in part by highlighting what she says are longstanding funding issues and the facility being improperly used to house long-term prisoners.


Video of the escapees darting from the jail spread widely online and among national news media.
 
6,000 inmates and 55% of them have life sentences :smh:

Hell on earth!
As bad as it is, they don't sleep with the lights on, there are no visitors, lawyers, hardly any food, talking, eye contact, or anything else!
Look at it you know the U.S. funded it to work out the kinks and perfect it to cut costs. But yeah the way the economy is going expect to see this shit for killers and gang members. :smh:
 

Jesus Henry Christ. You can't make this shit up. :smh: :roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2:

Got damn my city full of crash dummies
And yes Angola is terrible
When I was doing prisoner extradition the gates didn’t work, it rained Ava water was in the cells, offices, etc they even had signs up saying watch for snakes because snakes were everywhere. I know they were talking about not hiring females because of how dangerous it was but that’s a discrimination lawsuit. Dude we picked up said it was nothing to see female COs getting trains ran on them. Staff carries weapons just like inmates
 
Seriously, thats not fair.
aint right at all.
All these Black women catching felonies.
Will be spending time in jail themselves helping these idiots out.

Casey Smith, 30, arrest follows the bookings of Cortnie Harris, 32, of New Orleans, Corvanntay Baptiste, 38, of Slidell, who were taken into custody Wednesday, and Connie Weeden, 59, of Slidell. Louisiana State Police say the women face charges of accessory after the fact to simple escape.

Bond was set at $1 million for Smith and Baptiste and $2.5 million for Harris.

Locked up and not getting out. Of course. they're happy to lock Black women up :smh: - BlackRob





According to this report, it looks like
Four more Black women will be arrested. :smh:

More likely than not, the 2 remaining inimates Derrick Groves and Antoine Massey are getting helping because how else would they survive this long without being caught?

If you're a relative of one of the escapee inmates, what are you supposed to do if they ask for help. Do you turn your back on them, or do you help them cause blood is thicker than water. As a relative, I wouldn't want to be put in that situation. What exactly are you suppose to do? I would imagine it would be hard to see or discern right or wrong, in that moment you just see blood and family.

Groves probably out of the state by now...
 
Aiding and abetting a fugitive is a felony
Then if the DA wants to be an asshole they add obstruction of justice and harboring an escapee
