Sheriff Susan Hutson has said she believes the jail break was an inside job and last week told reporters her agency had suspended three employees pending an investigation.

One of the 10 inmates who escaped from the Orleans Justice Center last week had previously escaped from a north Louisiana detention center in 2019, according to authorities.

Massey threatened to shank him if he didn’t turn off the water to the cell they used in their breakout, according to a search warrant affidavit.
