美国监狱发生重大越狱事件，洞口涂鸦：太容易了，笑死

据多家美媒报道，当地时间16日凌晨，美国路易斯安那州新奥尔良市一所监狱10名囚犯越狱。目前已有3人被捕，7人仍在逃。

Ten men broke out of a New Orleans jail Friday in an audacious overnight escape by fleeing through a hole behind a toilet and scaling a wall while the lone guard assigned to their cell pod was away getting food, authorities said.

Seven of the escapees, including suspects charged with murder, remain on the lam following the breakout.

报道指出，警方公布的所谓逃跑路线照片显示，一间牢房的金属马桶被推到一边，露出了一个洞口。洞口上方还留有涂鸦，例如“太容易了，笑死”和“有机会再来抓我们”。

Photos of the purported escape route released by the sheriff's office show a jail cell with a metal toilet pushed to the side, exposing a precut hole. Above it, the escapees allegedly wrote various messages such as "To easy lol" and "Catch us when you can".

警方：逃犯或得到内部人员协助

当地警方表示，16日凌晨00:23左右，越狱者开始破坏一间牢房的门，负责看守的一名工作人员因外出取餐并未发现。

随后，他们进入了这间牢房，1:01分通过牢房内厕所后边的墙洞逃出。此后，他们又翻越围墙并穿过州际公路。

At 12:23 am the escapees started tampering with a locked cell door and ultimately broke it open, unobserved by a civilian employee who had left to get food, according to the sheriff's office.

At 1:01 am, the inmates exited the jail via a door at the docks, through which supplies are brought into the facility, scaled a jail wall using blankets to protect themselves from razor wire and ran across nine lanes of Interstate 10.

当地警长称，“如果没有外界的帮助，任何人想要逃离这个设施几乎是不可能的。”警方认为，逃犯可能得到了狱方内部人员的协助。

据美媒报道，警方承认“安保漏洞”是导致越狱事件发生的原因之一。尽管狱方在前一天晚上10:30就封锁了监狱，但由于门锁存在缺陷，囚犯仍然能够逃出牢房。

Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson said there are indications that people inside her department helped the fugitives escape.

"It's almost impossible, not completely, but almost impossible for anybody to get out of this facility without help," she said of the jail, where 1,400 people are being held.

The sheriff's office acknowledged "lapses in security" contributed to the escape. Although deputies put the jail on lockdown at 10:30 pm the night before, inmates were able to exit their cells because of defective locks and doors, the sheriff's office said.

报道称，这10名囚犯失踪了数小时，警方却一直没有发现。直到例行清点人数时，这起越狱事件才被发现。

The absence of the 10 men, who also utilized facility deficiencies that officials have long complained about in their escape, went unnoticed for hours. It was not until a routine morning headcount, more than seven hours later, that law enforcement learned of the escape.

逃犯的年龄从19岁到42岁不等，部分人面临谋杀指控。警方呼吁公众保持警惕，并称“全面搜查行动”正在开展中。
