3 more escapees from a New Orleans jail are caught, leaving 2 at large, officials say

Troopers with Louisiana State Police escort Orleans Parish Prison escapee Lenton Vanburen to a waiting vehicle late Monday, May 26, 2025, at Louisiana State Police Headquarters after he was captured in Baton Rouge, La.

Three more of the 10 inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail earlier this month were re-arrested Monday in two different states after more than a week on the lam, authorities said.
