Three inmates escaped from a Louisiana jail on Wednesday, and one is still on the run after they were able to cut out a hole in the wall and use bedsheets to climb down the building.
This comes after another high-profile jail break at Louisiana’s Orleans Parish Jail in May of this year.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, ten inmates, including murderers, at the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility escaped earlier this month.
At least eleven individuals were arrested for helping the inmates escape.
Footage from inside the prison during the May escape shows inmates attempting to rip a door open before fleeing through a hole hidden behind a toilet.

One inmate from the latest prison break was caught on Friday, and one committed suicide during a police standoff.
The third, 24-year-old Keith Eli, is still at large, and he was serving a sentence for second-degree murder.
Per NBC:
Authorities hunted Saturday for the last of three inmates who escaped from a Louisiana jail after removing concrete blocks from a deteriorating wall.
“We would prefer that he surrender himself peaceably,” St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz said in a statement, “but we will not rest until he is captured.”
Detectives and SWAT officers were following leads Saturday in pursuit of 24-year-old Keith Eli, who remained at large three days after he and two other inmates escaped the parish jail in southwestern Louisiana, said Maj. Mark LeBlanc, a spokesman for the sheriff. Eli had been jailed on a charge of second-degree murder.
One of the escapees, 24-year-old Johnathan Jevon Joseph, was captured Friday following a brief chase. LeBlanc said investigators following a tip found Joseph, who was jailed on charges of rape and other crimes, hiding out at a home. Joseph ran to a nearby storage shed, where he surrendered after being cornered, LeBlanc said.
The third escapee, 26-year-old Joseph Allen Harrington, killed himself with a hunting rifle Thursday after police found him at a home and used a loudspeaker to urge him to come out, said Port Barre Police Chief Deon Boudreaux. Before his escape, Harrington had faced several felony charges, including home invasion.
