   NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana State Police announced Wednesday the arrests of   
   two individuals accused of helping fugitives following the mass escape   
   from the Orleans Justice Center on May 16.   
      
   According to investigators, 32-year-old Cortnie Harris of New Orleans   
   and 38-year-old Corvanntay Baptiste of Slidell were each charged with   
   one felony count of accessory after the fact for allegedly assisting   
   inmates who fled the facility during the early-morning jailbreak.   
      
   One victim connected to a recaptured inmate told WWL News that he   
   believes the arrests were warranted.   
      
   “They should be arrested for doing this,” he said in a phone interview.   
   “I would leave town, if I was anybody dealing with those five.” He went   
   on to say, “The two that got arrested last night, now they have five   
   years to deal with.”   
      
   The same victim expressed deep frustration with how the escape was   
   handled by the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office.   
      
   “The sheriff should resign her position,” he said. “It seems like she   
   doesn’t know what she’s doing, and the jail doesn’t know what they’re   
   doing either.”

   Phone calls, food and rides   
   Authorities say Harris was in contact with one of the five inmates still   
   at large before the escape. Afterward, she allegedly drove two of the   
   fugitives to various locations around New Orleans in an attempt to   
   shield them from law enforcement.   
      
   Baptiste was also found to have communicated via phone and social media   
   with 19-year-old escapee Corey Boyd, who has since been recaptured. LSP   
   says he provided food to Boyd while he hid inside a residence.   
      
   Charges and consequences   
   Both Harris and Baptiste were booked into the Plaquemines Parish   
   Detention Center. Under Louisiana law, those convicted of accessory   
   after the fact may face up to five years in prison, a $500 fine, or   
   both.   
      
   Law enforcement officials emphasized that anyone aiding fugitives risks   
   prosecution.   
      
   “Harboring fugitives threatens the safety of our communities and will   
   not be tolerated,” state police said in a statement.   
      
   The manhunt continues   
      
   Five of the ten escapees have now been recaptured. A multi-agency search   
   remains underway for the remaining fugitives.   
      
   Up to $20,000 in reward money per fugitive remains available:   
      
   FBI: $10,000   
   ATF: $5,000   
   Crimestoppers: $5,000
