New Orleans Jail Hole Selfies Lead 10 Escapees Past Broken Locks

New Orleans jail hole selfies surfaced after 10 inmates escaped early May 16, 2025, leaving guards baffled by a wall opening and disconnected pipes. The viral photos, snapped at Orleans Parish Justice Center, feature inmates grinning beside a “To Easy Lol” scrawl.
Hours after their headcount slip, two men were caught but 8 remain fugitives, intensifying the search for armed escapees. Jail security failures—defective locks and outside help—now dominate breaking news, with officials left chasing a trail of bathroom bravado.
