Let’s talk about one of the wildest stories to hit New Orleans in years. In this episode, David reunites with co-host Brad to dissect the recent escape of 10 inmates from the Orleans Parish prison, a situation that’s part true crime, part systemic failure, and part dark comedy.
They dive into how the escape happened (spoiler: through a bathroom wall and across I-10) and why it took over seven hours to even notice the prisoners were missing. What does this say about the staffing, technology, and leadership failures inside the jail? There’s a lot to weigh in on because there’s been a lot of political finger-pointing that’s followed.
