A fifth inmate who escaped from the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility on May 16 has been captured, according to Louisiana State Police.
Corey Boyd, 19, was taken into custody Tuesday in New Orleans. He will be transferred to a secure state facility outside the area and booked with one count of simple escape. Authorities say additional charges may be forthcoming.
