A week after 10 inmates at a New Orleans jail escaped through a hole in a wall behind a toilet, half of them are still on the run and at least four people have been charged with helping them.

The inmates escaped in the early morning hours of May 16, and three were recaptured by the end of the day. A week later, two more have been nabbed but five are still loose, including some who have been charged with murder. Authorities have announced awards of up to $20,000 per inmate for information leading to their arrests.

In a stern warning on May 23, the Louisiana State Police said anyone who helps the escaped inmates will be caught and arrested.

"The decision is simple – assist law enforcement in locating them and receive reward money, or be arrested with a potentially high bond. The choice is yours!" Louisiana State Police said in a post to social media.

=================

Putting that $20K reward for information is probably what helped with so much of the re-captures and arrests of those who gave assistance.

Dog the Bounty Hunter, in a News Nation segment right after the incident, said the inmates had some inside assistance in their escape.

I have not been following this closel;y, but I did see a snippet of the press conference and one question popped into my mind.

Your organization has just really screwed up and you are providing the public details at a press conference. Were these really the best eyeglass frames to wear to that press conference?
