Shocking three-word message prisoners left written on wall before escaping behind toilet in cell

Ten dangerous prison inmates managed to escape from a New Orleans maximum security jail last week - but not before leaving guards with a pretty savage two-word message.

The group of convicted criminals, a number of whom were facing charges of murder, were found to have disappeared during a routine headcount at Orleans Parish Jail in the early hours of Friday morning (16 May).

It it thought that the inmates fled the facility around midnight. The group consisted of Dkenan Dennis, Gary C Price, Robert Moody, Kendell Myles, Corey E Boyd, Lenton Vanburen Jr, Jermaine Donald, Antonine T Massey, Derrick D. Groves, and Leo Tate Sr.

Local authorities later told press there was a strong likelihood that a prison insider assisted with the execution of the group's plan.

Sheriff Susan Huston previously admitted, as per the BBC: "There's no way for anyone to get out of this facility without help."

Speaking in a news conference, Hutson revealed the group had each pulled the sliding doors from their cells of their track at 23 minutes past midnight, before tearing a toilet from the wall.

It was then that the inmates broke the metals bars around a hole in the wall used for piping, before climbing down a wall and running to a nearby highway. The entire escape is believed to have taken around half an hour.

Prior to fleeing through said hole, however, the group decided to leave staff at the facility a series of messages, one having sparked controversial levels of amusement on the internet.

In images from the group's escape, the words 'To easy Lol' had been penned on the cell wall in black ink.

Commenting on the handwritten message, one social media laughed: "'To easy' is sending me, lmfao."

Another jibed of the note: "What in the prison break [laughing emoji]."

The photo also showed another message left by the group, with initially read, 'I'm innocent'. The 'I'm' had seemingly been crossed out by one of the convicts, who'd then written 'we'.

Despite three of the escaped prisoners having since been picked up police, a warning has been issued on the remaining seven, who are said to be 'armed and dangerous'.

The inmates reportedly range between ages 19 to 42, and face a variety of charges including aggravated assault and domestic abuse battery.

FBI Special Agent Jonathan Trapp also believes several members of the public are likely to be aiding the men who remain on the run, issuing a warning of the arrest of any individual found aiding or abetting a member of the group.

A $10,000 per inmate reward has now been announced by the bureau, on top of an additional $5,000 reward being offered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

CrimeStoppers have issued offered $2,000 in exchange for information.
