BATON ROUGE, La. — The Orleans Parish sheriff has been indicted in connection with a jailbreak that left 10 inmates on the run last year.

but i think the jail break was more incompetence than malfeasance at the sheriff level. and how do you cover that up without looking even dumber?

a problem in cities is that police and deputies and (in this case) jail maintenance people live in the same neighborhoods as the gang crews, and have families who can be influenced.
