I guess if you can't get criminals back out on the streets with easy bail you might as well just make the jailhouse easy to escape from, huh? That's at least what it's looking like down in Louisiana, where not one but two murder suspects have just escaped from a juvenile detention center — one of them having escaped for the second time in two weeks.
Like, how you gonna let a teenager escape for a second time in two weeks? That just seems like something out of a movie.
A pair of teenage murder suspects escaped from a Louisiana juvenile detention facility over the weekend, including one who had just been recaptured after breaking out less than two weeks ago.
The escapees, both 17, have been identified by Baton Rouge police as David Atkins and Willie Jackson, both inmates at the East Baton Rouge Juvenile Detention Center who are being held on first-degree murder charges.
For Atkins, it's the second escape from the facility in as many weeks. He and another teen managed to slip away from guards who were distracted putting inmates back in their cells after a brawl involving several prisoners on Nov. 14, the Advocate reported.
The teens were apprehended a little more than 24 hours later after authorities received a tip that led them to a home where they were hiding out.
At the time of their escape "authorities said the teens should be considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached."
Yet somehow these bozos got caught and will have to make their escape all over again next week Thursday at 5pm local time.
Seriously, this place is infamous for these kind of escapes.
In 2021, a pack of five inmates escaped after overpowering a staffer, whom they locked in a cell without a radio after stealing her keys, the Advocate reported. It was the second jailbreak of the year.
In February last year, eight teenage inmates managed to escape their cells before getting in a fight in which three of them were injured, which left doors and windows in the facility smashed.
However, a spokesperson from Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome's office told the Advocate that as of this week, the planned updates are still in the planning and design phase and have no definitive timeline for implementation.
Would pay good money to see the vid of the boys locking up that female staffer tho. Priceless, I imagine.
Mark my words, these two murder suspects will at least make an attempt at another escape before the year's up.
