Gov. Jeff Landry said he had called for an audit of the Orleans Correctional Facility for compliance with โ€˜basic jail guidelines.โ€™

The FBI said on May 18 that it has increased the reward for information leading to the arrests of seven inmates who remain at large after escaping a New Orleans jail.

Ten inmates facing various charges escaped from the Orleans Parish Justice Center around 1 a.m. on May 16 by breaching a wall behind a toilet and fleeing across an interstate highway.

Three of themโ€”Kendell Myles, Robert Moody, and Dkenan Dennisโ€”have already been recaptured, but the remaining seven are still at large.

FBI special agent Jonathan Trapp said at a press conference on May 18 that the FBI has doubled its reward from $5,000 per inmate to $10,000 for their whereabouts, noting that the escaped inmates are likely receiving assistance from members of the public to evade arrest.

The FBIโ€™s reward is in addition to the $5,000 per inmate offered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and another $2,000 per inmate offered by Crimestoppers.

During the press conference, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said that he had directed the Department of Corrections (DOC) to audit the Orleans Correctional Facility for compliance with โ€œbasic jail guidelinesโ€ and to remove all DOC inmates currently held in that facility.

Landry also said that he would issue an executive order directing the state inspector general to obtain an inventory from the sheriff on all pretrial detainees and those awaiting sentences.

The governor specifically cited the case of Derrick Groves, one of the escaped inmates, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges in October 2024 and was awaiting sentencing.

Landry said that Groves wouldnโ€™t have been able to escape from the New Orleans jail had he already been sentenced by the court system.

โ€œThis massive jailbreak, which my statistics tell me could be the largest jailbreak in the history of the state, should never have happened. The public deserves to know who, what, and how this happened,โ€ he said.

Landry added that Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrillโ€™s office will lead the investigation into the incident.
