## Resource

A barefoot, shackled inmate escaped from a Tangipahoa Parish courthouse in a brazen 30-minute breakout, climbing over a gate while being transported with six others. The deputy in charge failed to conduct a headcount, leading to immediate fallout: the deputy was fired, two supervisors suspended, and the sheriff vowed accountability. The jail had requested specialized transport for this high-risk inmate weeks prior — ignored by management. This isn’t his first escape attempt; he’d pulled a similar stunt at Angola prison. Now, the sheriff’s office is overhauling courthouse security, introducing new restraints and protocols, while parish officials plan gate upgrades — and more discipline may follow as the investigation deepens.
