A fourth inmate has been captured by authorities after escaping from a New Orleans jail on Friday with six other convicts.

“Louisiana State Police just captured inmate Gary C. Price,” FBI New Orleans confirmed in a post on X.

She is calling for a full investigation of the incident.

A female civilian employee monitoring the pod “stepped away” to get food and missed the getaway, according to authorities.

Authorities revealed that the video feed wasn’t actively monitored during the escape but was subsequently reviewed when the inmates were discovered missing hours later.

The escapees were not discovered missing until a routine headcount at 8:30 a.m. Friday.

The jail is operating with only 60% of its necessary staffing, and during the escape, four supervisors and 36 staff members were responsible for overseeing 1,400 inmates, according to officials.

Three jail employees have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, authorities said.

Retired FBI special agent Jason Pack tells Fox News Digital that “the jailbreak in New Orleans should get everyone’s attention.”

“This wasn’t a complicated escape. Ten inmates got out through a hole behind a toilet,” Pack stated. “It took more than seven hours before anyone realized they were missing. That speaks volumes about the situation within that jail. Insufficient staffing, lack of oversight, and probably inadequate functioning equipment or security checks.”

Pack said that the number one goal for law enforcement is to get all the inmates back into custody quickly and safely.

“Police don’t want this to end with anyone getting injured, including the escapees. The goal is to find them, surround them, and bring them in without any drama. That’s what officers train for. It’s not about chasing headlines. It’s about doing the job carefully and professionally, even when the public is watching,” Pack said.
