A photo shared by law enforcement shows a message scrawled above the hole in a wall through which 10 men escaped from a New Orleans jail on Friday.
“To [sic] Easy LoL,” reads text written above an opening behind a toilet at the Orleans Justice Center. The Orleans Parish Sheriff Office shared the image, along with other photos illustrating the escape route, on social media Friday evening.
Other words written in the general area included “Fuck OPSO” and “Suck my dick O.J.C.”
The men were able to get out of their cells due to “defective locks and doors,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a press release. They were then able to “breach a wall behind a toilet in their housing unit” and escape through an opening in the wall at about 1:00 a.m. The sheriff’s office said at least one steel bar around the toilet’s plumbing fixtures appeared to have been cut using a tool.
The escapees used blankets to avoid cuts from barbed wire as they scaled a fence, then sprinted across the interstate to freedom, the Associated Press reported.
