The word at the sixth annual Juneteenth Festival in New Orleans on Thursday was heritage. Among the throngs who gathered in the punishing afternoon heat for food and free music at Congo Square, a celebration of the 160th anniversary of the last freeing of slaves in America, it was everywhere. It was in the second-line parade that kicked off the event, the blare of horns from New Groove Brass Band denoting the city’s centuries-old tradition.

By Joseph Cranney and Ben MyersThe Times-Picayune | The New Orleans AdvocateNEW ORLEANS — Long before 10 inmates escaped from the Orleans Parish jail, the lockup had a pattern of unmanned tiers, faulty cell locks and inmates wandering without supervision, detailed records from the past five years show. The records paint a chaotic picture of violence, cellblock fires, smuggled-in drugs and other contraband. Dorms housing even the jail’s most problematic inmates have had serious security breaches.

One of the 10 New Orleans jail escapees last week was a repeat offender who was only supposed to be there temporarily while waiting on Louisiana prison officials to move him to a more secure lockup, records and interviews show. At the time of the escape, Leo Tate was one of dozens of jail inmates marked “ready” for routine transports to state prisons by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, a department spokesperson said.
